Walking from Prague to Santiago

[SYates]

Ok, I am not a really new member here, but I couldn't find a better board to post this to ;-) The start of my 'little walk' from Prague to Santiago (yes, all on foot) is less than two weeks away and saying that I am getting really excited is an understatement ;-) If you would like to follow along, here is the url of my blog: http://praguesantiago.eu/

!Buen Camino! para tod@s, SY

 

[Olivares]

OF COURSE I will be following you, girl!! Buen Camino, SY! Be safe and God Bless!

 

[SYates]

Thanks Olivares! SY

 

[clearskiescamino]

[SYates]

Yes, I know his blog, in fact we tried to meet up before he left but somehow we were never managed it, SY

 

[Tincatinker]

Buen Camino SY, I'll follow for sure.

 

[SYates]

Thanks Tincatinker,
I will keep my eyes open for traces / tracks of that pre-Christian camino we spoke about some time ago ;-) SY

 

[Tincatinker]

SY, look for Dolmen, Standing Stones, Circles, Hill Clefts, Ditch & Ring formations. My, postponed, walk along the Primitivo was going to be an opportunity to test my ideas against the landscape.

I am full of admiration (and jealousy).

 

[SYates]

I will do and don't be jealous please, negative emotion and all that ;-) SY

What a fantastic, slowed down way to travel and see the world!

 

[SYates]

Slowing down is exactly what I do need at the moment, OzAnnie! SY

Not sure how I missed this earlier, SYates, but WOW! Sending lots of good wishes your way for a wonderful camino. I will be watching your blog, at least when I'm not on the trail myself! Buen camino, Larie

 

[OzAnnie]

[SYates]

Finally managed to post an update. Still haven't figured out how to copy and paste on my tablet, but if you go to praguesantiago.eu it is the latest post on the front page. Sy

 

[OzAnnie]

Tough first day for you. Good luck with the feet. Enjoy your break with the kitty cats!

 

[SYates]

Thanks OzAnnie! I will and have, tomorrow I am on the road again, Germany here I come ...

 

[jdpiguet]

Nice to hear from you, SYates, I was starting to think that Internet had not reached Prague...
About copy/paste: try to press long!
Buen Camino, Jacques-D

 

[Monsieur]

Two great blogs to follow whilst I slog away at work!

 

[SYates]

Hi everyone,

Just a quick update, I am now in Pilgramsberg and having a truly blessed pilgrimage. Sy

 

[SYates]

Next short update, now in the beautiful town of Regensburg, as I nearly drowned in the rain yesterday, I did only half a day today and do a bit of sightseeing. Sy

 

[SYates]

Ok, now two km before Donauwoerth where I plan to take a restday and write an update for my blog. As the saying goes - stay tuned!

 

[SYates]

Sorry, started to write a long update and then tablet went haywire, sigh! Now in Switzerland, monastery bethanien, near flueli ranft, thousand kilometers walked, three countries crossed. All fine, apart of the rain, see also latest update, from germany, on blog, see signature. Buen camino to everybody, sy

 

[OzAnnie]

You're amazing !
Buen Camino

 

[Kanga]

I am following your blog with enjoyment. You seem are doing amazingly well finding places to stay. Does not seem as though you have met any other pilgrims yet; that will be a change as you get closer.
I'm cheering you on!

 

[Jan_89]

Great! BUEN CAMINO!

 

[SYates]

There is finally a new update on the blog, sy

 

[SYates]

Another quick update, now in granon, God willing i should arrive in 3 to 4 weeks in Santiago. Sy

 

[Mike Savage]

That is fantastic. You go girl! Buen Camino!

 

[GreatDane]

Say hello to the village of Granon for me!!! I loved it there.

 

[Kanga]

What an achievement. It is pretty amazing to be thinking you have almost finished your walk when you reach Grañon. A reflection on how far you have come. Hope the weather stays good.

 

[C clearly]

It was nice to meet you last week! I am a day behind you now, enjoying the walk.

 

[SYates]

Now in tardajos, we might meet again,

Congratulations! I had to stop my Camino in Sahagun to join my family in Moravia for a family funeral. I'm now in Prague on the way home. I will be back in Spain in 2015. Thanks for your inspiring example.

 

[SYates]

So sorry to hear that! It was lovely meeting you 'on the road' and I was asking myself several times 'where is she?'. Perhaps we see each other again in 2015? In all cases: Buen Camino! SY

[SYates]

Lol, just got the notification that this thread got, rightly so, moved to a different sub-forum. But it does bring happy memories back just reading it again. So glad I did it back then!
