Yes, I have heard about that and considered it. But (in life there seems always to be a "but"): leaving place A to walk to place B and have your stuff delivered to place B means, you have to know in advance whereabouts in place B you will stay that night (and of course whereabouts exactly this place B will be) - or wait untill you're arrived at place B and than have your lugagge brought by taxi from place A - most likely hours after you arrived, in dire need of new underwear, a dry shirt, a shower with change of cloth, your personal "things" (pills, salves, pomade, new batteries for the pacemaker, second set of dentures etc. etc.) or whatever from your bags you want. Not practible, I'm afraid. One could as well (as I will most likely do) prebook the whole caboodle, accomodation and all, lugagge transport included. End of problem.... many pilgrims use local taxis to cart their backpacks for them at a very reasonable rate ...
Riding a bike? Me? I would rather walk the Camino on my hands while blowing a bagpipe with my ar--, sorry... I have heard about donkeys, horses and carts. The choice of accommodation will be a wee bit limited with Mr Big Ears, though. Don't you think?... alternatives to wearing a backpack. What about biking? Also, I don't know much about this, but I know there are people who walk with a donkey ...
It's not that I'm not walking at all. I'm on my feet all day long. Going up and down Wainui beach in Raglan is quiete a few kilometers and I just love that. What I was concerned about is the grade of inclinations, in particular the very first one right after SJPdP. But yesterday I found a website full of pictures exactly about that issue and it's half as bad as it seemed to be. I can manage that. More: I permanently use two pair of trekking shoes, well worn and well broken in. So shoes won't be a problem at all.... My advice is - get out and walk about a bit. It will certainly help with stamina ...
Now, that might become a major problem because I drink only Speights Old Dark and only from jugs. So where the blimmin' heck will I get that heavenly elexir on the Camino?... A few Speights may help there ...
I agree. A beckoning. Without any of this spiritual or esoteric stuff. But wait: how can the one be without the other... Hm. To repeat myself: "buggered if I know...".... am one of those that thinks that the Camino is "a call" ...
Nice. Shouldn't that be a full stop - instead of the comma? Not for punctuation - but for the deeper meaning. First things first?buena! said:you will love the camino, and the camino will love you
