...I am on day eight of walking the Francés at the moment. It is quite busy. A lot of talk about beds (and the need to book ahead).
I don't book.
Today I tried really hard not to get a bed. I really tried.
Got up late. Took my time to pack...
Well, maybe not. My plans are to leave for France on May 4th, stay overnight in Paris, train to St. jean, and begin the Camino! and Thursday I came down with covid. and yes, it did indeed put me flat on my back. but? thanks to medical...
Hello, I recall a comment on here some time ago of someone who walked a camino in memory of someone and had a special inscription noted on their Compostella. Apologies - I have tried to search it again but have been unable to locate it. We are...

Day 10 - another tripletoge day. 20km says my watch.
2 big hills to climb, almost 400m high and 1 just about 200m high. Lots of ancient stone steps , some of which dated back to the Kamakura era. I can start smelling the salt.water as the trail...
Day 9 - arguably the toughest 21km with the 700m tall Yakiyama peak to contend with. Lots of steps up and down, mostly on ancient stone paths covered in moss.
This is the first time I'm seeing bear warning signs, but the locals don't seem too...
