As you go thru the various towns, there will be signs up in Restaurants with Menu del Dia. These are the places we mostly eat in, not five star but mostly very tasty & reasonably priced. Plus we usually met up with other pilgrims that we would have had chat/few words along the way and always a...
Fair play to you to make it in one day, a great achievement, photos magnificent. The toughest day is now behind you! Lots of stretching/gentle exercises after each days walk will be great help. Would also recommend early morning starts to avoid the heat of the day.
Make reservation in SJPdeP, head off around 7 am following morning and walk your first day all the way to Roncevalles…….if you are even half fit you’ll make it to Roncevalles on Day 1!!
Thanks ‘snale’ for asking that question & for all above answers - I wondered myself. I have just got 2nd booster (72) & hoping to do some of the Portuguese in September. Can’t wait to get back on the road again, last two years of restrictions was just not nice - at my age I want to make the most...
Loved reading all the above & hoping to get back into the ‘swing of things’ in September on Portuguse………..hopefully COVID 19 will be a distant memory by then - been a long 2 years!
Ivar, I would agree with Yolanda Mejia.......I look forward to catching up every day.......can’t wait for planning stage of my next Camino!! Many thanks
Why not look along the hedgerows as you walk along on your first mornings walk, you will find a plentiful supply of strong sticks to use...........that’s what we always do & we find they are just as good as our walking poles left back at home!
Lifted my heart to read all above comments re.James post. We were to do Camino from Porto Sept 2020 but of course COVID put an end to that!! We hope to do so maybe this Oct but certainly 2022. On reflection we think perhaps we’ll do 14 days of the part of Camino Frances we enjoyed most way back...
Have eaten Tarantulas in Cambodia, bit like crispy bacon, nice until I realised what they were exactly!
While travelling through Vietnam, saw a butcher cutting up meat, my husband drew my attention to the tail - it looked very like a cat!!
BUT Black Pudding (or blood pudding) very very...
Happy Birthday Colette from Cork, Ireland.........-1 and snowing steadily all morning, dreaming of next Camino/ reminiscing of happy days over the years on Camino Francis
Thank you so much ‘jungleboy’ & ‘mai’ for magnificent pictures, they would lift your heart! Was supposed to do Camino Portuguese in Sept so hopefully next year. Happy New Year to Ivar & all Forum members - best wishes from a wet, cold & windy Cork, Ireland
Once more thanks so much Ivar for keeping us up to date/ ’connected to a place dear to our hearts’ (Robo said). When in Santiago Sept 2018, should have made bigger effort to visit you Ivar - time + getting to Finisterre was not on our side. But we look forward to doing so in Sept 2021 (hopefully).
Thank you Ivar for your regular updates – helps us all to feel close to the Camino and in this way dreaming of our next trip!
Our GP was saying with the winter (short evenings bad weather) coming and the surge in Covid numbers starting to appear, an extra problem will be more patients than usual...
Oh my God - Ivar has never walked the Camino, thought he had already done ALL the routes😄😄😄 lol!!!!
Enjoyed the interview ROBO - must tune into the other videos, thank you!
