Goodbye to my walking friends

Hi all

I’ve just got back from Santiago after walking the Camino francés.

The people I met were just wonderful and were the highlight of the Camino for me.

Despite the Camino rush phenomenon and my last 100km coinciding with the busy 12 Oct Spanish public holiday, I was really impressed by just how much people helped one another.

To all the people I met and didn’t get a chance to say goodbye to, I hope you read this. My heartfelt thanks to all of you for being part of my journey. I hope that I also contributed something valuable to your Camino.

Buen camino.
John
