Delighted to hear from you Kirkie. I fly to porto on the 18th and I plan to set off early doors the following day. I'm hoping it'll take me 11 days or so,I've got to be back in porto for the 2nd of July as I fly back home then. And I'm really conscious that the 2 weeks away will fly in so I'm...
Massive respect to both of you. I met a fantastic guy from Holland on the cf, somewhere near Ages. He walked from his home and was about 77 days into his camino. He was keeping a blog of his travels and it was amazing to see his progress and beautiful photographs while he walked through...
I'm exhausted but my mind is already in porto so sleep might be quite elusive today bit I'm sure I'll survive. Oh and one more excuse for the typo's, its this pesky predictive text😅. Clearly my spelling and grammar are of excellent standard. Honestly 🤣
You walked from Switzerland?? Fantastic stuff what an achievement. I can't wait to walk the cp but I'm aware it's only 10 days or so of walking so I'm going to slow my pace right down so that I can savour as much as possible. And I have no expectations but I've no doubt that I'll meeting...
Hola AJ, I hope you're well and thanks for reading my camino story. But you're far from ignorant my friend as there's no such thing as a bad question
The "Queensland prophecy " is basically paying tribute a bit to the Aussie fella David (who was from Queensland) and he really quite accurately...
Hi Barbara, unfortunately I don't have any great pearls of wisdom to offer, only my own experience of the cf and nearly 3 years to reflect. I can be a bit of a social butterfly and was pleasantly surprised to find that the camino was much more sociable than I expected, even though my initial...
I'm delighted for you mate, and not to mention a little jealous😅. I've got another 4 weeks to go until I walk the caminho portuguese but walking the cf again is definitely on the bucket list. Buen camino
Thanks for your message Tony I love hearing about people who managed to get well and you're right that it doesn't matter how a person does it as I massively respect anyone who does it as we're all miracles. I hope you and your wife are well and that you are able to walk the full thing next...
Please read "prophetic and beautiful prediction 2". I mistakingly hit the "post button" before finishing what I meant to write. Thank you xx
Cheers kirkie, it's well appreciated mate. And I know your hometown, as you say, the names a bit of a giveaway 😅
( see prophetic and beautiful prediction before reading if you can).
For the first time in my adult life I felt true peace within. My mind finally felt still and calm. I was 40 at the time and had tried virtually everything that I was aware of to come to terms with who I was and things I had...
On my first camino Frances ( my only one til I walk the portuguese in june) I met a lovely Australian couple, David and Lynn over dinner in roncevalles on my first evening proper. They had previously walked the cf so had a bit of knowledge regarding what I should expect.
I told them my life...
