I struggled at first with all the new pilgrims setting off from Sarria, with there bouncy attitude, clean clothes, lack of backpacks, filling the cafes and constant chattering.
I had to sort out my thoughts and feelings quickly cause I realised I was the one dampening my camino not them. They...
I'm also in Santo Domingo today and happily paid the 3 euro for entrance. Twas truly amazing. As for the toilet roll sign I'm walking with someone for the last couple of days who openly admitted to taking the whole toilet roll from the golf course today. It made me feel very uncomfortable and I...
I had the smoothest booking experience with Jean-Jacques at the beginning of February.
He contacted me when he received the payment and another email to say he was looking forward to seeing me in April this year, very kind.
It took all of 3 days to finalize it all. Sweet :D
On the 30th Jan I booked a night at Orisson and received a confirmation email and a Paypal invoice by the 2nd February, how quick was that :)
I was worried I'd have trouble with the booking or I had left it too late but all is well. Happy days.

Hi Angela,
thanks for your beautiful words. I've seen your questions and posts over time and you seem like you're a very gentle soul. I'm not surprised you have inspired others to walk The Way.
I too have yet to walk the Camino and although I haven't inspired anyone to actually walk I've had...
Thank you so much Margaret, it's exactly what I've been looking for. The site is great and have printed out a copy of the mass times to peruse.
Buen Camino

We get 4 weeks a year(very fortunate), I haven't had holidays since 2010 and now have plenty of leave to take. (it's hard to get away from my boss, he doesn't even believe in public holidays.
Getting the boss use to the idea of me not being here for 6 to 8 weeks has taken him awhile to get use...
