Robert, from Germany, was in our albergue days ago (3 dec.).
I just received this email, and I like to share it with other pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago.
His sympathy, his strength and his intelligence have given life to our hostel, and others, for a few hours.
El Camino still exists, survives and will be reborn as before, or better.

Almost 4000 km... In this period of darkness, it gives light to the Camino

Thank you for sharing Roberts e-mail.
Congratulations to Robert for completing his long walk. It must have been a very hard walk but also very rewarding to reach Santiago.
Is Robert a member of the Forum, it would be great to hear his thoughts about his trip.

In case he stumbles upon this thread:
Meine herzlichsten Glückwünsche für diese herausragende Leistung!

Seriously, that's a huuuuge achievement. Especially in crazy times like these.
I live around 100km from where he started and dream about doing the way from my doorstep one day, but thats gonna have to be a couple of years in the future.

Congrats again!

Such a massive achievement. Congratulations to Robert. Giving hope for our future. So few can do this in these difficult times. There must be a very special story here. Please tell us about it sometime. Feliz Navidad Robert

Congratulations! About 2100 miles in 136 days (assuming no rest days). Quite an achievement.
