    A few lingering questions

    Hi Barry, there are no stupid questions, this is what the forum is for. And you will not be considered a cheat by starting in Pamplona, you will still receive all the respect as a fellow pilgrim, that is your Camino... cheats ride taxis or busses in the last 100 km and collect stamps without...

    My Conclusion of walking the Camino in 2011

    Thanks Alex! That is one thing, if the Camino bites you, it will never let go. It has been two months since I returned, going on three, and already I am starting to think how I would be able to afford going back, doing the whole French Way... Buen Camino to you!

    My Conclusion of walking the Camino in 2011

    Hi Sharni! Like my friend Petro said from our neighbouring town (she has done 2 complete Camino Frances 's!) not a day goes by without thinking of the experience... It is still growing inside me, and already the wish was born to do another Camino... Buen Camino to you too!

    My Conclusion of walking the Camino in 2011

    I am so happy that it has meant something to you! Enjoy your Camino- it will be hard sometimes, as anything worth doing will be. But it will also be one of the best things you have ever done, if you let it... Just really pack lite, make sure your shoes are right (light and walked in...) and...

    My Conclusion of walking the Camino in 2011

    Baie dankie! Nee, ek het my hoed maar vir die Camino geskenk, en vertroetel die gedagte van hom terwyl ek snikkend sy foto vashou... :roll: Sal maar weer 'n ander een by Trappers moet gaan koop. Buen Camino daar by jou!

    My Conclusion of walking the Camino in 2011

    Dear friends on the Forum- I have written over 50 blog entries on ewaldschmidt.blogspot.com about my camino experience, with over 130 photos published. But it is in Afrikaans, and the translation function doesn't always work very good. So, for an American friend, I translated my conclusion of my...

    Hi CAminando- are you one of those legendary people I just heard about, walking the Camino naked? No possessions? :lol:

    How do I get my hat back

    Hi Gilbert, thanks for a very good contribution to my question, and you are completely right. You just put it in perspective again, and thanks for that. I am sorry for your loss, but it seems that you also have discovered some healing along the way?

    How busy is the Camino Frances at the moment?

    I am back home, and I can truly say that I did not ever have one night of not finding good accommodation along the way. Even if it is busy, it never was impossible. I think that is the lesson I learned on the Camino- just keep on walking, and everything will eventually turn out right!

    Thank you! The Camino of life continues...

    I have walked the Camino from Leon to Santiago from 30 May to 17 June. Some days it went really well, other days my feet killed me, with blisters and cramps. Some days I could follow John Brierley's days in his guide, some days I only did 8.5 km. But I met some wonderful people along the way...

    LIVE from the Camino Remember to take water with from Foncebadon!

    Remember to fill up with lots of water at Foncebadon, there were no water available pass the Iron Cross to El Aciebo on the other side- difficult terrain and on a hot day you will need water!
