Hi dear colleagues,
Me and my wife entered SDC today about 18:00 hrs local time. We have received our Compostelas and checked in the oldest pilgrim's hospital since 1499. Tomorrow we'll visit traditional twelve hours Pilgrim's mass and pray for all good people. Bien Camino!
Sincerely...
Today we were marching between the areas affected by the rains. Fortunately we left dry and clean and reached Caldas de Reis. According to http://www.intellicast.com and local sources the weather is going to be improved on Monday. But it will be no so hot as in North Australia. Local people are...
Hi,
Sorry, but sinse I'm marching together with my wife we are staying in the hotels not in albergues. That's why I'm absolutely useless as the expert on that theme. Signs and markings of the way are better in Portugal. Nature, landscapes and architecture are excellent in both countries. The...
Hi,
Me and my wife are going to leave for Porto through Frankfurt on Main in fifteen hours. In thirty five hours we are supposed to start our march to Santiago from Porto!
God bless all of you and I hope you would wish us the same.
Sincerely,
Oleg and Svetlana
Don’t worry Bene. God and Saint James will save you if you show the behavior of a Good Christian! Age is not important. Some guys were already the Regimental Commanders at the age of 18 and Joan of Arc was the Commander in Chief at the same age. So, don’t worry and follow the yellow arrows...
orlaithballach,
That’s the good idea. In fact you are no first and no last who is thinking about that and who just accomplished it. Just do it. The easiest thing is just to put on medieval doublet, houses, boots or pilgrim’s robe. It will be just the colorful show. The most important think is...
Hi all former, present and future Las Peregrinas and Los Peregrinos,
Oleg is here back on the wagon again! Since I cannot afford thirty days of vacation this year and cannot accomplish Camino Frances again or Camino del Norte I’m going to accomplish Camino Portuguese. All flights have been...
Hi,
Yes, there are Roman Catholic churches in Roncesvalles, Bizkarette and Zubiri. You can attend special mass for pilgrims in the Collegiate Church of Roncesvalles every day at 20:00 hrs. Regarding to Bizkarette and Zubiri the problem is that they have churches but I’m not sure they have...
Hi Pilgrims,
I’d accomplished Camino Frances this year. Since I will no have thirty days to walk Camino Del Norte or La Plata in 2013 I’m planning to march Camino Portuguese. I hope I shall be able to start about May 11, 2013.
So, see some of you next year.
Sincerely,
Oleg
OK. I’ve been there! I’ve done that! Started at Saint Jean Pied De Port on April 30 and arrived to Santiago de Campostela on May 29. Then I continued to Muxia and Finisterra. Wonderful! Now I need some short period to resume normal flow of civilized life.
God bless you all and buen camino!
Oleg
Hi,
Disregard my last message I sent on March 16. Due to changes and corrections in our schedule we are planning to start on April 30, 2012 from SJPDP not on May 1, as we planned from the very beginning.
Sincerely,
Oleg
Dear Colleagues,
At last I’ve bought my flight from Helsinki, Finland to Madrid, Spain and back I supposed to arrive to Madrid on April 29 and I plan to get Saint Jean Pied De Port on the next day. That means I shall be able to start my Camino on May 1 early morning marching from Rue de Citadel...
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
