vacajoe - I love your quote: traded in my workboots for hiking boots. Well done you mate!
Thank you for information about Appletree hill gites We will surely check this out. Thank you.
Roving Rufus … That sounds absolutely Devine -I almost wish our trip could have included the trip from Cherbourg, to Mont Saint Michel and on to Santiago de Compostela. How long would you think this will take? That trip would be more than 1750 km at a guess … that is unimaginable! Would love to...
Thank you Ozay! Indeed I did not say about our start finish as I had not planned nor even thought about a further camino. Our trip planning includes Iceland, UK, Netherlands as well as Normandy and Belgium from Australia. I had merely planned to include MSM as a place I had never visited that...
We are planning to visit Les Chemi s du Mont Saint-Michel in the summer of 2022.
I have just come across this beautiful picture book ‘pilgrimage - Derry Brabbs) that mentions pilgrim routes of Britain and Europe and writes about the 330 or 160 km route to Saint-Michel. Little did I know about...
We have been in lockdown internationally since March 2020. No international flights for recreational or private purposes …
All our plans have been cancelled multiple times.
I know just how you feel - planning anything has no appeal whatsoever. Commiserations… 😷🥲
We have curfews, and just this...
The
Parador is a lovely place. We were very fortunate to belong to the first 20? Getting their Camino certificate in 2019, and were given passes for camino lunch at the Parador. An ancient custom apparently to look after those that completed their camino. Unforgettable experience and lovely lunch.
What a lovely story camino07..I hope to get to WA sometime. Thank you so much for your inspiration, what a lovely trip you still had! We hope to also sometime soon have that opportunity.
Thank you for that information Dancing Rain! i preesume you must live in WA? We hope to get to WA maybe later this year. We have bought a camper trailer, awaiting delivery, and providing birders are open, may get to WA instead of travelling overseas. Thank you for enlightening us! Corry
Hello Dancing rain and camino07, thank you for your post. Learnt something new again! I was not aware there was a camino in West Australia. While we are far away in Melbourne, the borders are currently open, so we could actually plan that trip if safe. But what is the background, what do we know...
That sounds like an interesting book. I will endeavour to order it from my library and read it too. Sounds lije a very interesting custom. Many tganks Corry
There appears to be a lot written about it and the ‘organisation’ has support for each area. I have never been to this part of Italy, no idea about costing, accommodation. Wondering even if this is purely walking on very steep terrain... is there road infra structure or many towns along the way...
I received an interesting email from insight.com this morning about a totally unknown (to me) camino, in Italy, in the ‘toes of the boot’ of Italy. I have been looking at this trip, elevation, distances and remoteness appears immense.
There is an app on offer with free download and elevation...
Hello and good morning Ivar from Australia,
It was beautiful and amazing and emotional to see this lovely video you made at the cathedral. Thank thank you! We have gone thru s very difficult period. The camino experience seems so far removed from our current life and just so lovely to see...
I wish someone could brighten up our day by giving us an update on the cathedral renovations as at Oct/Nov 2020, the above report dates to Jan 2020, but the world has changed permanently and drastically since then. Maybe a little video, that would be fantastic.
I would think that for many it...
I enquired direct with Correos for a 15 kg suitcase from Barcelona to Santiago and was quoted €20 incl 15 days in Santiago which suits me perfectly as we will be doing CP from Porto and have not booked luggage for flight Barcelona to Porto. My backpack will be my camino gear and is hand luggage...
