Overwhelmed, grateful, still slightly dazed….

[Fortyforward]

Our Camino went by too quickly and I can‘t believe the me that was asking for help and advice such a short time ago is home on the other side of the experience .

Thank you so much to everyone who have helped and supported us and others on this forum, you are all amazing.

We started our walk at Laguna de Castillo and because I am, well, me - we came in from the east/south east because I didn’t want our walk to go through anywhere the bus had already driven us through on our way to our start point. On reflection - it probably wouldn‘t have been a big thing (but I’m still pleased with our approach).

Every day was perfect. Our shortest day was a little under 19 km, our longest was about 34.5. We loved every moment and we are missing getting up and walking….. there is something very special about the Way - not sure we have got it out of our system yet…. Best wishes to all and many thanks to everyone who offered support and advice for our journey, and everyone who wished us well .

Sounds like you had a wonderful Camino
Where is Laguna de Castillo? Near Leon?

When is your next one?

Near O Cebreiro but in Leon province.
Is Laguna de Castilla. Strange name because this village is not in Castilla.

Sorry but it isn't something that gets out of your system easily. Can't wait for number 3 starting in 10 days

Your title caught my attention and my current state. I am writing from A Salceda, preparing (perhaps more so emotionally than physically) to finish our Camino tomorrow in Santiago after beginning on the 15th in Astorga. Soooo many feelings: can’t believe it’s almost over, my feet are grateful it’s almost over, this is only the beginning…
Buen Camino proximo!

I completed my first CF in April this year. I duly returned home and washed it out of my system. Or so I had thought.

Then, the urge to go again appeared. On my first CF, I missed the initial SJPP to Pamplona section, some bits before and after Leon, and the dreaded entry into Burgos because of time constraints. Now I feel compelled to complete it all and am booked for late October.

I’m working on a book about it for the Japanese market. Yes, it gets under your skin.
