    bed bugs again

    Oh, I am starting my Camino in Astorga on Tuesday and was planning on staying in San Javier. Maybe should reconsider … Any tip, close to the bus station, since I arrive late on Monday evening.

    Magic Moments / Lessons on the Camino

    Another very special occasion was the moment I arrived to the airport in Santiago and met "normal" people. The lack of glittering, shining eyes was a complete chock. All those expressionless faces, dead eyes, stressed people … If not before, it really sunk in how special the Camino is with all...

    Magic Moments / Lessons on the Camino

    My first Camino was filled of magic moments, but one that I today find to be one of the finest was the moment when I realized I had no thoughts … My first week was filled of crying and dark days. My backpack was heavy and so was my mind. As time went by I met some wonderful people to share my...

    What do you expect of yourself to be/become a „real pilgrim“?

    I definitely did not start out as a pilgrim when I rushed up that mountain from SJPP on an early and foggy July morning almost nine years ago. Probably some people wouldn't see me as a peregrina now either, but during those 900 km between SJPP and Finisterre something profound happened to me...

    Camino Frances conditions in September

    According to some statistic I saw September was the busiest month of the camino last year, so be prepared for it to be busy. I walked 10 days in September (SJPP to Burgos) and was a little bit chocked by how crowded it was even though I did not stop at the Brierly stages. Will continue my...

    Dutch male names on the Camino?

    I am glad to hear that me being stubborn calling Pieter for Pieter seems to be okay. Michael will be a very happy chap, since he would hate to call someone Piet ;) At times I was quite annoyed when watching The Way, and probably some pilgrims will be upset with my book as well. However, my...

    Dutch male names on the Camino?

    Thanks for your info on O Cebreiro. I have been using John Brierley's guide book for the names but intend to look through all city and village names again. As for the short name of Pieter, I suppose he is called Piet back home in Holland, but when meeting people on the Camino he will call...

    Dutch male names on the Camino?

    Thanks Thomas! The background picture is taken during daytime on the way up to O'Cebreiro. Then it has been mixed with another picture and been made into night to suit the title (Under the stars of the Milky Way). I hope you are right and it will become a success. As soon as I am ready with this...

    Dutch male names on the Camino?

    Sorry, I will stick to Pieter, since it suits the character and also the manuscript. Btw here is a picture of the book cover. Thank you all! :) Camilla

    Dutch male names on the Camino?

    Puh, I am glad to hear it is approved :) I tired it in the manuscript and it fits well. I also tried to upload a file with the book cover but it was too big size (will ask the AD for a low res picture) The book title is 'Under Vintergatans alla stjärnor' - in English it would be something like...
