    bed race

    Ferrol to Pontedeume

    Peaking into Ingles... (first stage was fine to walk, bridge was tempting, but along the bay walked fine.) https://www.facebook.com/pauluskouwenberg/videos/vb.100004221725384/422893614528026/?type=2

    LIVE from the Camino Winter on the CPortugues

    About 50 kilometers north of Porto on the Camino Portugues the bar keeper told me that in his youth every morning had snow in the streets. At the moment I'm walking there. It's beautiful sunny with temperatures around 18 C. Prepared for winter I am, not for spring;-)
