    Takeaways from our first Camino

    Excellent advice! From one who continued the Camino with a broken leg (unknown to me at the time) for 2 weeks, taking your time, it’s your Camino after all; listening to your body, and knowing when to have your pack transferred are invaluable lessons I learned along the way.
