    Who packed vitamins?

    I took some vitamins and pills with me. I only walked for a week though. I brought a multivitamin, because I know I don't eat well enough to get it all through the food, I also brought probiotics which I always take when I travel. I also took pills with turmeric, as that's a natural...

    Photos from my Camino (Pamplona - Logroño)

    Thank you so much :) It was a wonderful time of year to walk, the temperatures were perfect and not too many people, as you can see from my photos. =)

    A few photos btw. Roncesvalles and Astorga - Now to Santiago

    Many more gorgeous photos! My favourite was XIMG_5661.jpg - the early morning street view. It's a lovely shot. It looks like it was worth the cold, rain and fog. =) Hilda

    DSLR-camera on the camino

    I walked Pamplona to Logroño in September last year and brought a DSLR with me. A Nikon D90 with the 18-105mm kit lens, to be exact. And I was very glad I took it with me as I got some great shots with it. But, I also didn't carry all my gear on my back, I sent some ahead. Otherwise I'm not sure...

    Photos from my Camino (Pamplona - Logroño)

    Thank you all for your wonderful comments. My family started to wonder if I'd been completely alone when they saw the photos. But, like you, I prefer to keep people out of the photos. =) Hilda

    Photos from my Camino (Pamplona - Logroño)

    Thank you, Lillian. I took a point and shoot on my first camino-attempt and I was quite disappointed with the results when I got back home. So, this time I opted to have my luggage transported from place to place and only carry a daypack. So, the weight didn't bother me. I actually had the...

    Photos from my Camino (Pamplona - Logroño)

    Thank you so much Laurie. I was fortunate to have good weather for the duration of my walk. About the sky; I took a picture last year at home (in Sweden) that I think comes pretty close to the colour of the sky in Spain. A very intense and gorgeous blue. I'll let you be the judge if you...

    St Jean to Santiago seen by an atheist

    I love your photos! They're stunning. The lighting is really good. The ones from St Jean Pied de Port to Roncesvalles are my favourites. And I also really like the one with the tractor in the field. I was about to ask what camera you used, but when I scrolled all the way down among the photos...

    Photos from my Camino (Pamplona - Logroño)

    Hi, I noticed I've forgotten to add my album of Camino photos in this forum. I'm currently uploading some more photos to it. These were taken late-September to October 2010 when I went on my mini-Camino. I started in Pamplona and ended the walk in Logroño. Here's the link to the album on...

    A few photos btw. Roncesvalles and Astorga - Now to Santiago

    Re: A few photos between Roncesvalles and Astorga Lots of gorgeous photos! I agree with a previous poster, the light was very good in your pictures. Hilda

    Fear

    I'm also a person who wants to be in control all the time, and it's very difficult to let go of that control. I certainly didn't manage when I was doing the camino, but I tried, and I think that's important. My fear didn't really go away at any time during my camino, but it did become more...

    Members Photos

    Hi all, Since I've now walked at least a portion of the Camino Frances, I felt I could add my photo here. I took this outside of Puente la Reina, after the first steep climb of the day. I actually took it just to make sure I didn't look like I was about to faint or die, both of which I felt...

    Fear

    Thank you Kim. I had many moments, particularly the first few days when I though "screw this, I'm going home!" But, my mum helped convince me it'd probably be pretty bad for my self-esteem if I gave up again. So, I stayed. And I'm glad I did, because I had some good times, and lots of good...

    Fear

    stpatricksbhoy and Valerie, thank you. =) Valerie, I have no plans of leaving the forum. Maybe, instead of a camino, I'll plan a photo-journey along the camino next time. I think that's more my kind of journey. Hilda

    Fear

    Carole, Karin and Suzie, thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoy them. (Just posted a few more...). I still have 1200 photos - that's after throwing out about 600. Have to toss out another 300-400 or so. Since I take so many, I try to get rid of at least half. =) Karin, thanks for the link to...

    Fear

    Thank you Margaret. I am actually in the process of uploading more as we speak (or type). True. I don't actually have to do the Camino right now. I have years to do it, if I decide I want to. Hilda

    Fear

    Well, I'm back home. =) And I'm very happy about that. This post is going to be a little random... The second half of the trip wasn't at all as bad as the first. I accepted the situation for what it was and pushed through. And I made it. But, I also made the trip easier on myself. I took the...

    Fear

    Thank you all for your sweet replies. Today I am in Los Arcos and am going to Viana tomorrow. I am feeling better and calmer now, but still homesick. Have just had dinner; good salmon with the ever-present chips, and some melon for desert. Am now going to look over the photos I've taken today...
