    What’s going on?

    I’m on the Camino now and there has been plenty of walk in accommodation available. Our problem areas were Pamplona (San Fermin) and Portomarin was pretty crazy but we did prebook there. Stay off the main towns from Sarria. At Cee now and still plenty on offer.

    Lord, give me a blister

    Lord let my boots be missing, As I grope in predawn light. Let the queues for my compostela, Be round the corner, out of sight. Let the long awaited albergue Have a sign saying, "completo", Because only then will I smile, I'm back on my camino.

Spring had the most amazing wildflowers and the snow on the mountains was spectacular. Autumn saw variations...
