Vézelay Blog

[john newman]

Tena koutou and Hi
I’m at Limoges now, started at Vézelay on 8th April. I’m hoping to make it to Santiago de Compostela. I’ve been walking with a mate but he’s gone on ahead while I go slower with family.
I’m doing a blog, if anyone is interested. I’m focusing on a bit of the detail of the experience rather than just a list of villages or distances. About 6 pics per day. One post per day. Just go to the menu and take the Vézelay option.

Hi John,
Nice to hear from pilgrim on la Voie de Vèzelay!
Enjoy the loneliness up to St-Palais, afterwards, you will meet the crowds coming of le Puy...
Buen Camino,
Jacques-D.

PS: a lot of pictures on your blog are not correctly rotated...

I’m sorry about the rotated pics. They’re not rotated on mine so I can’t fix it other than by using a different installation procedure, which I’m doing now. Hope it works. Thanks for the feedback. John

I’ll look at it John! And a very ‘bon chemin’.
I nearly walked the way of Vezelay last year, never say never!

Thanks for the blog John.
It reminds me so fond memories!
I see that you meet a lot a friendly hospitaleros on your way, people I already met 2 years ago: in la Petite Preugne, for example, there was 9 (!) different home made marmalades on the table...
Buen Camino,
Jacques-D.

Tena koutou, John!
I'll have a look. Nice to see a fellow Kiwi out there.

Thanks for all the interest.
I’m having difficulty loading pictures at present but I hope that’s a temporary problem.

@john newman
Very happy to have found your blog (referenced in another thread). I’ve solo-walked the Camino Frances (Sept 2017) and via Podiensis/Le Puy (Aug 2018) and looking for another long-distance Camino wall next year, with voie Vezelay one of the options.
Thank you!

Hi
I loved the Way from Vézelay. It was easy through France and then more difficult in Northern Spain and the Primitivo.
The Vézelay Way is pretty quiet compared with the Le Puy but there is a steady trickle of mostly long distance walkers. Not many are anglophones, although many of the Belgians and Germans spoke some English.
I’m sorry about the pictures in the blog being upside down in places, I’m trying to fix that. But they are right way up on an iPhone.

Haven’t read through enough to see the mis-rotated pics. Will look forward to reading in the evenings.

Likely you have your iPhone set to “auto-rotate”, so it will display properly (on *your* phone), but when you share your photos they are oriented in their native mode.
