    Latin names on compostelas.

    I was wondering why I was suddenly Lindam on my Compostela! Or at least, Linda with a little squibble at the end that nobody could really figure out what it was, haha. Cool. :)

    LIVE from the Camino Flying out to Porto tomorrow, really feeling the nerves!

    Thank you! Right now I am staying at ORM Apartemento Santa Caterina which I HIGHLY recommend! It's nearish Sao Bento station. I took a bus from Porto to Vigo, which was supereasy, I just had to show up at the bus platform and could buy a ticket at the bus driver. For the return journey from...

    LIVE from the Camino Flying out to Porto tomorrow, really feeling the nerves!

    Well, final update I guess, a week after finishing my Camino. :) I stayed in Santiago for four days, of which I spend almost the entire Saturday in my hotel because the weather was dreadful! I had wanted to go to Finisterre on Sunday, but because Saturday's weather had been so bad I didn't want...

    I am in Santiago de Compostela! And I got a compostela! :D Everything worked out in the end (of course...). As @mspath suggested I asked the proprietor at the Casa rurale Parada de Francos, where I was in fact staying, for help, and he confirmed that I could pay the taxi with card instead of...

    I could use some cheerleading again, if it's not too much trouble. I am in Teo now. I took a taxi from one hotel to the other because 12km or however much it is just wasn't going to happen. I felt judged. :( Probably mostly in my head tho. Also I did not expect Teo to be this small! I am in the...

    Ha! Brb getting a fake moustache and changing my name. They can't prove it's me. :cool: And thanks!

    Oh absolutely do the Variante Espirituel of the Portugues! I really loved it, actually much more than the previous stages. I did the boat trip from Villanova de Arousa to Padron today, it was a great experience (even if I did have to get up at 7am, which is not my favourite time of day!)...

    LIVE from the Camino Flying out to Porto tomorrow, really feeling the nerves!

    Update (guess this is my liveblog now?): felt much better this morning. I took a taxi up to Armenteira monestary, which is GORGEOUS by the way. Got my passport stamped by a lovely nun. After that I started on the Camino, figuring I'd see how far I could get. The first 500 meters were nothing...

    I LOVE the mental image of you airguitaring your way through olive groves! It really does help, mentally, to have a backup plan, doesn't it? Same, honestly. I've done solo travel before, so I knew I could do THAT part. But it's been two years (darn pandemic) plus I would usually settle down in...

    Camino passport question

    Haha yes! It's almost a sport to see where you can get a stamp. And to think I was afraid I wouldn't get my two stamps a day!

    Camino passport question

    On the Camino right now, and it's honestly fun to see all the places you can get a stamp. I got one at an icre cream shop in Pontevedra, they had a sello with a parrot, and there is a little arts&craft store in Combarro that has a really big one (it takes up 2 squares) with a witch on it!

    LIVE from the Camino Flying out to Porto tomorrow, really feeling the nerves!

    Aw, thanks for asking, that's so kind! I took a rest day in Pontevedra but didn't end up doing a lot of resting, as I was busy with sightseeing. :p I got in contact with CaminoWays and they gave me the phone number of a taxi company. I ended up calling them on Sunday, to take me from Pontevedra...

    LIVE from the Camino Flying out to Porto tomorrow, really feeling the nerves!

    Thanks guys. Unfortunately I can't change my route since I prebooked through CaminoWays. I figured having my accomodations taken care of, guaranteeing a good bed, and having my luggage shipped every day would make it easier: I'd just need a small daypack and some hiking poles and the rest would...

    LIVE from the Camino Flying out to Porto tomorrow, really feeling the nerves!

    ... I can't do it. :( Help. I am crying as I type this. I'm in Pontevedra right now, it's my third day. I tried so hard each day, but after 5km I am just exhausted. I took a train every day, but I'm headed to Combarro next and there are no real public transport options that I can find. And I...

    LIVE from the Camino Flying out to Porto tomorrow, really feeling the nerves!

    ...well that first day was a bust. :( I have a disability (congenital myopathy) so walking is harder me anyway. But for some reas9n I was extra tired today. I did get my stamp at the cathedral in Vigo, and started on the road. But I barely made it out of the city and I was already exhausted. Hwd...
