So yes, I'm apprehensive.
That won't be easy in Galicia! It's a home from home for you.Forget where you came from
So on Wednesday next, the 31st, I fly from Dublin into Santiago. Hopefully I'll catch a bus to Ferrol.
I have a hotel booked there for 1 night. Then to the Camino I venture. Although I feel that a journey has somehow already begun for me, I look forward to carrying it on with sincerity and gratitude along this sacred route.
So yes, I'm apprehensive. Can I really walk 30km on my first day to Pontedeume? What if I meet noone else on the route? What if I meet someone on the route? Can I get from Ferrol to Santiago de Compostela by Monday, the 5th, so I can make my hotel reservation?
And on the other hand, I'm excited. Adventure waits and I look forward to seeing what El Camino has in store for me. I've read so many posts on this site, from what shoes to wear to whether to bring a sleeping bag, or whether to phone ahead for a reservation. I want to thank every person here for making me feel that I can do this. I'm excited. I can do this. I hope
If anyone sees a skinny Irish guy in his mid 30's walking along with a blue bag, feel free to say "Hey!" and "Buen Camino!"
This is priceless!What if I meet noone else on the route? What if I meet someone on the route?

It's so nice that you have reported back on the forum!I'm home and quite honestly I had an amazing journey.
You can safety strike out the "maybe."People asked me when I was doing my next one? My answer will be maybe after I reflect on this one. I'm so glad I did it though and so will you too.
On Tuesday I hope to fly out from Virginia into Rota Spain and onward to Ferrol to begin my journey. I am planning on 12 days to do the Camino Ingles. I am excited and am literally leaving my journey in God's hands.We are four of us from Dublin, just behind you, into Ferrol on the 1st June. Maybe see you in SDC! Buen Camino!
