Follow My Life Changing Camino Travels
The clocks turned back an hour so we took our time leaving. The morning mist is so beautiful but we didn't see the sun rise because the mountains were in the way It was a gentle walk today, mostly on flat land but we felt a little nervous as we could hear shotgun blasts in …
OCTOBER 28,2016 I lost this post somewhere as there was no internet access. It was 2 days ago There was no internet access last night so I’m late posting my blogs. We went back to the bar this morning, to find that mumma had risen early and prepared breakfast just for us! All that effort …
There was no internet access last night so I'm late posting my blogs. We went back to the bar this morning, to find that mumma had risen early and prepared breakfast just for us! All that effort for just a few euros. What a lovely woman! We knew that today was going to be tough …
Posting this because I can't work out how to get to yesterday's that I 'stored'. I'll send yesterday's if I can work it out but for now, here is today's. I ate so much yesterday that I couldn't eat dinner. Chris cooked up some chestnuts again and we went to the bar for a drink …

It's still raining but I'm used to it now and we had so much beauty around us as we climbed the mountain today. I have to say that the Sanabrese is absolutely breath taking, stunning and so beautiful. The Autumn colours are just incredible, the smell of the pine needles and the fresh mountain air …
Today was miserable!!! It poured rain all day. There was a HUGE storm last night and today we trudged through mud, large puddles and slipped and slid through more mud. It was not fun! We only had a short way to go (15kms) but it was the longest walk I've ever done. There was no …
WARNING.... Do not read if easily offended by smutty humour..... We had a rip roaring night last night after being starved of company for the last 3 days. We all wandered over to the restaurant again for dinner and had more magnificent culinary delights. The chef is very entertaining and his food equals that of …
