I am in Peduoso and walking into SdC tomorrow (God willing). I started in Astorga on July 3. What a beautiful experience it has been! Notes: 1) Most albergues and bars open, especially in Galicia. But do carry some nuts, fruit, energy bar to be a meal just in case of unexpected bar closure. 2) Walked alone most days and only two pilgrims at a couple of albergues. 3) Found lively company several times, though no communal meals (kitchens are closed). 4) Walked within sight of other pilgrims only today (Arzua to O Pedruozo). Two school groups went by. 5) Most fellow pilgrims are French and Spanish, with a few other Europeans. I am one of only 5 from USA that I met. No Brits or Aussies crossed my path —wait, maybe one? 6) Wayside churches are closed.
Enjoying every step!

Buen Camino.
May you enjoy your last day.

I doubt you will find many Aussies.
International travel not possible for us yet.

What a weird world it has become; Aussies at home wanting to get out & Aussies abroad wanting to get in and neither can get in or out.
We call this ‘stasis,’ from which we derive, in English, the word ‘static.’
You can’t help wondering, when oh when will we be doing our next Camino.
Commiserations to my fellow citizens and hopeful pilgrims in Aussie land.
Full of envy Rebequa that you are there, now, with whoever is there with you.
Say hello to Santiago from all of us down under!!
