- Time of past OR future Camino
- (2013)
Well it's time... I'm off to the Camino Frances.
This is how I'm going...
Sorry... keep losing the connection on this wretched mini ipad!
I didn't want to fly... so I have decided to go by an overnight Megabus from London to Paris, take a connecting train to Biarritz via Dax and then stay in the Youth Hostel overnight. Hopefully I can start early for Bayonne and the train to St Jean.
Reasons? Two nights of rest (I sleep well on modern coaches).. arrival in St Jean early enough to prepare for the following day.
Previously I was going to walk from Lourdes or even somewhere further afield. However just for once, I'm going to try and 'fit in', and do what other folk do. It is, I believe, part of what I need to learn... more humility. (Check out my website www.vikingway.wordpress.com and you'll see what I mean!)
I have always been a bit on the eccentric side but maybe the Camino can help me fit in more?
Who knows...
I'm more scared of what my mind will experience rather than the physical. My preparation has been quite intense, but the spiritual/mental? I shudder to think.
