Camino Frances (2018)
A year ago today we started our Camino. It had been calling me for over twenty-five years and now we were in SJPP. At the last minute I'd left all sorts of things on our hotel bed that I decided I didn't need after all. Unexpectedly, my dearly beloved had decided to come too. He found climbing up toward Orisson very challenging with the 16kg pack he insisted on bringing. I realised as his lips turned blue and walking that 8 km took over four hours, that this was going to be a very different camino to the one I had imagined.
We stumbled into the bar at Orisson, and started the connecting with others that I had hoped for. What a relief we had a bed for the night at Kayola, even though we had to backtrack 1 km. Having had our dinner we were the last ones to stake a claim to beds. Top bunks of course, which creaked with every turn, and created an earthquake every time nature called. With hindsight I think that's where I got my first bedbug bites, but I had a lot to learn about them ahead. Then my beloved starting snoring loudly in this room full of strangers!
