Tomorrow I fly out from Stansted (UK) to Biarritz, then Friday morning I’ll be taking my first steps on the Camino from St Jean. (This is my third Camino and I can’t wait!).

My bag is packed (I really should give my pack a name as it’s full of personality!), and I’m ready to rock n roll!

Just skimming through posts whilst I prepare for work tomorrow and happen upon this post of yours. Delighted for you ... but highly envious that I am not embarking upon my next leg right now! Buen Camino
