Day 34 - What an albergue and what a view...
What a fantastic welcome we received at La Escula (https://www.gronze.com/castilla-y-leon/leon/laguna-castilla/albergue-escuela) last night...if you are looking to stop at La Laguna we would highly recommend! We had a fantastic room, so clean, real...
Day 33 - Where has the sun ☀️ gone?....
So we got ourselves out of bed at 05:30 this morning, got dressed, teeth cleaned and then I popped my head out of the window 'just to check the weather and things' and then shouted at everyone to 'PUT WARM CLOTHES ON'! The heatwave (thankfully for those...
Day 32 - Happy Fathers Day on the Camino...
Well that was a better day than recently experienced (say no more about the descent into Molinaseca )!
We move on and celebrate Fathers Day today with Mark. This is the day that children generally lavish gifts and love on their Fathers as a sign of...
We have spoken to quite a few people today that have just finished that trek down into Molinaseca (younger than us) and they have all said how rough it was and that a few expletives where shared outwardly 🤣
Lol...love that story! The story our kids have is one of laughing at us trying not to swear (failing miserably...before anyone comments, I know...bad parenting 😞) whilst we bumble our way down...one that we will all remember and cherish! 😃
Day 31 - Not another b****y slope down...
OK, so we know the old saying 'what goes up must come down', however, there are only so many lose stone downwards slopes that one sane person can take in a day (in 30c+ heat) 🤣. We left Rabanal del Camino this morning at around 06:15 and started making...
Day 30 - We loved Astorga!...
So we arrived in Astorga yesterday afternoon and after having a look around we fell in love with the place! Such a beautiful town and if you are on route towards Astorga you will not be disappointed - it is worth the uphill last bit of the walk.
However, Day 30 is...
Day 28 - As Glenn Frey famously sang 'the heat is on' (younger than 45, google him 🤣)!
A slightly later start to the day today, alarm went off at 05:30am, we got out of the door at about 06:45am....it was following a hot night that we felt a little sluggish this morning. Anyway, we got to our...
Day 27 - Mark is back on the trail...
To say that we were nervous about Mark being able to complete todays stage was an understatement! As a family we were all concerned that this might be it, Camino OVER! However, great news, we got to Villadongos with minimal drama.
We left our amazing...
Day 27....and it looks like we are hitting the road tomorrow!
We are all very excited to be heading back on the trail tomorrow morning. Marks foot is so much better after the rest and with the gel insoles he feels like he is ready for anything.
So at around 06:00am tomorrow morning (to beat...
Hey...thank you, that is very kind of you to say. We have more videos lined up to be released so hopefully these will live up to the previous 😃. And yes, we dipped our feet into the river 👣
