Do not over think the Camino it is not a race or an Olympic event ENJOY the walk and what is happening open your heart and eyes. All will be okay 4 walks never trained.
My AI tells me walk out he Albergue door, look for a coffee AH that was nice then smile at those around you and put one foot infront of the other and ENJOY the experience, so may over plan over worry and forget why they are walking to Santiago....

Anything is possible, but you will need to carry a lot of cash and what about emergencies if you do not have a credit card? Also if not staying in motels you will need to carry toiletries along with a change of clothes as you may not be able to wash and dry each day and walking around naked...

We may have flights to NZ, but it is up to the EU that will count, so follow the EU on when they will have flights allowed. Then the I can jump over there as quickly to see and help out.
Hi Kanga, I agree I have been missing since my last walk in 2016, but this year has been full of other things (praying to be able to walk again in 2018) after selling the house and moving to the country in 2018. I still communicate on other forums most days and catchup with this forum every few...
