After all the planning and preparing, here we go! Leave in 48 hours at 9am Queensland time this Saturday. If you start your Camino at your front door, I have a really long Camino. 2 hours on the bus from Toowoomba to Brisbane, 8 hours to Singapore, 13 hours to Paris, fly to Biarritz and then train to SJPDP. And then off we go!
First Camino. Lots of excitement, bit of anxiety. Mainly about the weather. Almost summer here so coming out of 30 degree heat. I see Roncesvalles was minus 4 last night.....brrrrr.
But have the layers and appropriate gear, not walking alone, and will take heed of advice along the Way from the locals. Don't mind a bit of snow but not going to be stupid about it. Have strict instructions from my wife to return home in one piece!
Lastly thank you to all who contribute to this Forum. I started out knowing nothing about the Camino, and found most of the information I needed here. It has been invaluable. I will report later to Forum members what my Winter Camino was like.
