Mixed feelings,...
It may surprise some of you - those who haven’t walked it in July - but it was VERY empty. Walked on my own but for a few people I encountered (2!). Both lovely.
By Belorado I thought ,this is me done, I am off! I must add it was raining most afternoons, after I had arrived.
As things happened, it wasn’t the end. To cut a long story short, I met with my walking mate in Burgos and off we went on....
Arrived in Santiago with a few days to spare and instead of the usual finish (Fisterra/Muxía) decided to go for the Inglés Camino.
It was a needed respite after the crowds from Sarria. Apparently it was worse than during the Holy Year.... I had never experienced so many people.... There were times when you just couldn’t walk past people, there were so many!
But I am glad I went on, it gave me time to think.... It wasn’t the blissful, perfect Camino I experienced only two years ago, it was just ...different.
And I am thankful for every step I made.
I am back home now and reflecting...
Nothing happens by chance....
In Santiago I made the effort and was rewarded to meet a wonderful lady (from this forum).
Thank you and God bless you
That’s all from me tonight!
