    The Camino Will Provide

    My sentiments precisely good_old_shoes, and wonderful pic anniesantiago! Yes, the Camino will provide, if you remain open to the possibilities. Remember, "Life is like a box of chocolates, ........." Buen Camino. 🚶‍♂️

    Lessons learnt on my first Camino

    I reckon that sneaky little climb up to Alto del Perdón (and the rocky descent on the other side) catches a lot of people out. Good for you for planning to return to the Camino. May I suggest, if you haven't already, buy yourself a good set of walking sticks and learn to use them properly. Buen...

    Tell me what I need to know

    It will most likely be hot on the CF in June. Make sure you have a good hat and sunglasses (and maybe a buff if like me you are light on top). Consider buying some good quality walking sticks and learn how to use them properly. Have a good strategy for blister prevention. Don't overthink it and...

    At 62 thinking of getting my first tattoo, A Tau Cross?

    If it means something special to you, then why not? I got my first, and only, tattoo at 60 in Lisbon after my second Camino Frances. Make sure your tattooist uses high quality black ink, ask to see the brand new needle(s) taken out of the packaging, and follow the instructions for skin care in...

    Camino Tattoos

    Inside right wrist. First and only tattoo (so far). Got it after my second Camino. Good luck. 🚶‍♂️

    Heavy burden to carry

    I know exactly how you feel. My elderly Mum was in aged care when I left for my first Camino in 2015. She faded badly while I was in Spain and I was prepared to head home at any moment. As I was leaving Sarria I got a call to say that Mum had rallied so I continued on to SdC and flew home...

    Tap Water or Bottled Water?

    Please note, if you see a sign on a fuente that says "Agua non potable" that means the water is not safe to drink. Buen Camino. 🚶‍♂️

    On the Camino, on this date in May...

    May 16, 2016. Hugging that 0km marker in Fisterra for the first time at the completion of my journey from SJPdP. Oh, what a feeling! :)🚶‍♂️

    What to see and do, or eat, for a few hours in Madrid?

    Ah, Madrid! I concur with many of the above suggestions. La Mallorquina on Sol is a must! And maybe a quick look at the Almudena Catedral if you have time / interest. 🚶‍♂️

    On the Camino, on this date in May...

    May 4, 2015 on The Camino Frances. It's very foggy here in Brisbane this morning. It was also very foggy and wet on this morning 6 years ago when I realised I was lost, having taken the wrong track up the mountain to O'Cebriero. My only walking companions were these cattle and their handlers...
