    Are you 70+ and still walking Caminos?

    Not quite sure where to post this and the question! Do these steps lead to Pamplona? I reached this part after crossing the bridge and having coffee at the Cafe immediately after the bridge. I think my brains were surely cooked as it was a stinking hot day. All I really noticed was the sign at...

    Are you 70+ and still walking Caminos?

    I walked the SJPDP Camino two months ago. I turned 78 years on the day I flew home after Santiago. Apart from breaking wrist bone on the second day of the Camino, I did just fine as I'm pretty sure so will you when you arrive at this same age. SO JUST KEEP ON KEEPING ON WITH THE WALKING. Buen...

    Strange figures.

    OH? I saw bars and thought, perhaps a prison? Thanks for the explanation. I had asked Pilgrims about it and not answer was forthcoming. Even the manager of the Albergue where I stayed did not know. So thanks for putting me straight.

    Strange figures.

    Yes, you probably did. The street is the same one I walked from what I recall. . But there were so many tourists just after this sculpture that I walked back the way I'd come.

    Do ladies pee in the woods? I think we know the answer.

    Speaking of PEEING IN THE WOODS. I never realized that "wanting to use a toilet" in the middle of nowhere, (until I was on Camino) would be so difficult and that when you did get a very small gap(the Pilgrims ahead of you who seemed to be moving so slowly and the Pilgrims behind you were moving...

    Cairns/stacking stones.

    I have also come across some cairns(actually pointed out by our guide) while on the Drakensberg, South Africa. These apparently put in place by Bushmen as grave markers.

    Cairns/stacking stones.

    Some of my fellow pilgrims were very surprised I had not added even a single stone to any of the piles already in existence, really too tired and feel for sure I would have fallen over trying to pick up a pebble, especially when I had no idea why I should do so. I did stop to read notes...

    Strange figures.

    Really did not look like a church building to me. The building has a small barred window too, and my first thought was, Aha, an old-time jail?

    Strange figures.

    While in Pamplona (September 2018)I did a bit of sightseeing. Just past the Catedral Santa Maria, there's a park with benches, fountains etc. Just beyond the park I came across a short lane and this image. Anyone know what this figure and the writing mean?

    Cairns/stacking stones.

    I'm not sure if any. R actually stops to read some of the messages/notes left by Pilgrims as they pass these pikes of stones. Not too far out of Orisson, I stopped to have a look at dome of the notes and was so touched by those in the English language. (Rest are French and Spanish) The pain and...

    Do you think trip insurance is necessary?

    Definitely! I fell just before I reached that gate thingie as you exit the forest to enter Reconsevalles - just before the river. I had to go Pamplona hospital for x-rays and treatment, which did not come cheap. So, I can only say thank heaven for travel insurance.

    What to do before you go to church .

    Another silly question. I start camino(SJP) on the19th September. Would I be able to go to Lourdes and still start my camino on the same day. I'd really love to see Lourdes. And I think this will be my only chance to see it.
