Hi, just received some photos of the Camino Frances taken only a couple of days ago - it certainly IS crowded this year.

First photo is the little train from Biarritz to St Jean, the second is the refugio swimming pool at Puente la Reina, and the last one is of the Santiago Cathedral plaza!

Could we name the image of the Santiago Cathedral Plaza Where's Ivar?

I read the thread title and bit the hook.
And then things got much more fun.
Thank you David.

Oh my word. Too funny, David! Your brain cracks me up.

Hilarious, David! And, what’s more, in the first two photos they all appear to be having a fantastic time. I notice, however, that they have sobered up somewhat by the time they get to Santiago. Yeah, that sounds about right . . . .

Photo #2 reminds me of the Songkran festival in Thailand.

The Scandinavian pilgrims don't bother with swimming costumes!

Fantastic, David!

I went from "Oh Oh?" when I read the heading, to "Ha, ha, ha" (and more!) when I read the post!

Cheers and thanks for the laughs!

Good one David, having spent 3 months each year in India since 2006, I can attest to these crowd....nice to see you back.

 

[Cayou]

Yeah, but that last stretch from Sarria was pretty crowded last year

Another great tongue in cheek thread. Love it!!!

This made me spurt my morning coffee out through my nose. Still tittering.

Nicely done David! I especially like the perspective, "so many people to meet!"

 

[MaxfromMO]

That is just too, too funny.
