    Thirteen More Sleeps and I'll See You THERE!

    Hi Annie. I wept when I read your link. My mother died almost a year ago, I haven’t shed a tear until now. It was also a difficult relationship and the three years looking after her nearly killed my spirit. I now know I need to get back on the Camino to heal myself. New Zealand had been closed...

    Photo album) This is The Way. El Camino de Santiago, 32 day's Story To The End of the World by Photos. Piano Song

    Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. It is the middle of the night down here in New Zealand. I lay awake wondering when I can do my next Camino. Your photos and the music fill my heart with hope.

    Thinking of you NZ

    Thank you for your kind words. I am shocked and overwhelmed that terrorism has reached us, so far down here at the bottom of the world. It has shaken us to the core. So many of the people who have been targeted came to NZ to live a safe and peaceful life without persecution. I feel deeply...

    Camino end of day/shower sandals —-good potential

    Love your pink sandals. Will have to see if I can get them in New Zealand. No chance of leaving them behind in the Albergue.

    Recommended Strategy for Night One out of Lisbon

    The Albergure in Alpriate is lovely, small and quiet but the walk from Lisbon is mostly unpleasant. Very achievable distance on day one. Cafe in the village.

    Weight Loss

    I lost 8kg on the Camino FRANCES over 6 weeks, 62kg down to 54kg, despite eating a chocolate croissant every morning and a snickers bar every afternoon. Had to knock that habit on the head as soon as I got home.

    The "ultimate" backpack for the Pyrenees or winter Caminos..."

    It is 2:40am in New Zealand, and I can’t sleep. Thought I would check my daily Camino Forum email. I laughed so much, I woke my husband. Thank you for such a great YouTube video.

    Warning to Women Walking Solo

    I am sorry to hear of your unpleasant experience. Last September I was walking from Aqueda to Albergaria A-Velha. After Serem de Cina there is a 3.1km stretch or eucalyptis forest (signposted). A small white vehicle was sitting close to the entrance. I certainly felt uneasy as there was...

    RYAN AIR Check-in Beware

    Yes, as a non-Eu passport holder you do need to print your boarding pass 48hrs in advance. The problem was, Ryan Air wouldn't issue a boarding pass, making it impossible to print it. Oh, the joys of living down under.

    RYAN AIR Check-in Beware

    Hi Paintboy2. I had problems with Ryan Air two year ago. Was flying out of Santiago. They would not issue me with a boarding pass electronically. The Help Desk told me that as I had a New Zealand Passport, not a Euro Passport, I would have to go to the Airport the day before and pay to get a...

    For Aussies....Heading to the "Saturday, Let's Get Stuff for the Camino" ALDI Sale

    That is so funny. If I had read it earlier, I would have hopped on a grab-a-seat flight from Auckland just to come and watch your performance. What a shopper. It made my day.

    Post Camino Slump -- anyone else?

    I can relate well to your Camino Blues. I completed my Camino in October 2015. 800kms from St. Jean to Santiago. I went alone. I have never felt such joy and such freedom at any other time in my life. No responsibility. For 6 weeks I was nobody's wife, mother, nana, sister. I had a break...
