Dear fellow pilgrims,
I've just checked in online, so I guess you could say I've started my trip now!
Feels like that! I'm very excited.
Today I will drive from my house in the countryside to the flat in Stockholm, 2-3 hours something.
And I will start walking tomorrow morning at perhaps 04.00 down to the bus station in Stockholms city.
From there take the bus to Arlanda. I'm flying with SAS this time, as I managed to get a "fairly" cheap ticket which is nonstop Stockholm - Madrid. (And I even got a seat next to the emergency exit = no chair in front of me, i hope!) So only 3 hours 50 minutes to fly, and no change of flights!
There I will hop on a bus (I quite like travelling with bus in Spain) to Leon, where I hope I will arrive at 18.30!
Will now go and pack my bag.
And I will, of course, post reports (and pics!) about my walk in this thread, if my phone and wifi/3G let's me!
Buen Camino!
Susanna
I hope there will be 3G in Poladura de Tercia and/or Pajares, I didn't pay attention a month ago.
Beautiful!View attachment 6141Right now pic ...
Good choice. I remember locals were saying that the fuente close to the church has a better quality then the fuente a little bit further.
Don't forget to give some food to the small gold fish you will meat in the fuente between San Miguel del Rio and Santa Marina.
There is also turtle food but we didn't find turtles.
Greetings.
hooray! Mystery solved. I think I will stick with the tried-and-true path, across the road from the runaway truck exit.

Here is a pic of Otto at the cross yesterday!
Ok, tomorrow we will go back to the church and start walking from there! More then
Yes, but now the dilemma is whether to take the off-road path on the right that goes up and through barbed wire and near bulls and then back down to the runaway truck exit. OR to walk alongside the highway for those 500 m to the runaway truck exit. Neither one of those options is too appetizing, Reb, which will you do???
buen camino, Laurie

Hola a todos, espero que Laurie o Amancio traduzcan mis mensajes ya que no se inglés. Muchas gracias y un saludo a todos, Buen camino.
Este mensaje es para Susannafromsweden: Pasado el pueblo de Olloniego cruzaras el puente y te encontrarás en el Portazgo, allí hay un antiguo leguario que indica a: Oviedo 1 ½ leguas búscalo al lado de la carretera un poco antes de la subida por el camino, una piedra grande que estará un poco tapada por la maleza, si la encuentras pon la foto y tendrás premio
Un saludo y disfruta del camino
Susanna, I don't know what the prize is or how you would get it, but I know that Ender is a man of his word.
Buen camino, Laurie
Hee hee, I found it and took a picture and I wonder if the prize was the blackberry bushes it was covered with as they were one of the nicest things I'd eaten that day.
Does anyone know the history of Portazgo? I assumed it was a toll bridge for road traffic but Laurie says "leagues by water". As the waterway has now vanished was this once a canal route or something to Oviedo?
Ok. Muy bien, lo has encontrado. Espero darte tu premio en Oviedo.
Disfruta del camino.

I'm here now!
And I have just checked in to a one star hotel not far from the cathedral, where I got My own double room and My Own bathroom (with a tiny bathtub) for 33 euros a nightHow I've been longing for this!
Now I'm going to take a bath and wash all my things. Later I'm going to find the place where I get my diploma. And I need a new credential for camino Primitivo.
