Impressive! But too many miles a day for my old bones. I shoot for 10-15 a day. My soon to be 70 years old knees won't tolerate much more. Bom Camino.

Hi!Thank you for this, as I am hoping that in September 2015 I will be able to maintain a similar pace. I have a few questions, 1. Keeping this pace, were you able to see the recommended sites in the different places? 2. How long did you take to do your average 40Km? 3. Do you have alternative suggested accommodation for the places that you did not like or were just average? 4. i see that you have completed the stages from Santiago de Compostella to Finisterre, do you recall your stages and accommodation?
Well I do have a lot of energy and I like to walk.I know it is not a race but really energetic schedule , well done
Great, definitely doable, i am going with the flow and do not have a return ticket booked - at least i have finally decided to do the camino walk/ run - i couldn't even make up my mind as to whether to cycle or walk/ run - i am much more of a runner than a walker - i have tried to train walking but end up running every time. i understand that the camino experience is unique for everyone but it was great to see your post and your times.Well I do have a lot of energy and I like to walk.
I don't really care so much what the guide book says you must visit. I don't like cities with a lot of people when I'm on the camino so I just passed some bigger places.
You don't have to sleep there to buy stuffWell done
I also cross big cities very fast but it's sometime useful to replace lost/broken stuffs like walking shoes, cameras and so on
Indeed, and moreover amongst the people of big cities, we look like aliensYou don't have to sleep there to buy stuff

Hi!Hello. How much did you spent
Hello. How much did you spent ?
Lisboa-Porto isn't the most beautiful part but I had some great days there as well. I have a blog in Swedish (https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=sv&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http://beastankar.blogspot.se/2015/07/dag-206-camino2015-dag-1-lissabon.html&edit-text=&act=url this is day one so just hit newer posts in the bottom for the next) but it translates via Google translate so it is more or less understandable. Unfortunately I haven't had the time to add the photos yet but they can be found here: Mobile photos https://photos.google.com/album/AF1QipMjdrNix2hJ74yHv4SN1mSYCpctHIpzLnVXYg8 camera photos: <to be uploaded there has been some f*uck up with the gallery so all pics are gone> and with the date stamp on the photos you can see which ones are taken between Lisboa and Porto where there is no geopositions (most pics has that).I am planning my CP as we speak, and debating a start from Porto or Santiago. I can handle longer days, so this might just inspire me to start in Lisbon
I'll take a look at your blog. I live in Sweden nowadays, so I'll try and read it before I translateLisbo-Porto isn't the most beautiful part but I had some great days there as well.

Aha Good luck! One day the pics will be added as well. Found the pictures on my hard drive so now I just have to add them to the online gallery when the kids aren't playing online games.I'll take a look at your blog. I live in Sweden nowadays, so I'll try and read it before I translate

I have my own computer but 3 people (the kids and their father) playing online games here and they do not like it when I hog all of the network for picture upload. In the meanwhile you have all my mobile pics at https://photos.google.com/album/AF1QipMjdrNix2hJ74yHv4SN1mSYCpctHIpzLnVXYg8 but they are a mess as they are both original pics and Instagram versions of the same pics. The Instagram account has them all with captions found here https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/beascamino2015/ scroll back 601 pics to the start.Get the kids off YOUR computer and assert yourself as bad alpha mommy ;-) Looking forward to your pictures, SY

Thanks!Stunning pictures! Love especially the one with all the umbrellas!
