Follow My Life Changing Camino Travels
I spent a fabulous 3 days in Santiago and it still wasn't enough. I love that place so much with its little laneways and tapas bars, but mostly love the energy of the town. It is a happy place. I really enjoy walking around at night and it feels so safe. This time I was …
I've been too speechless and emotional to write my blog for the past two days. As we walked the last 16 kms into Santiago, we were quiet and thoughtful, reminiscing about all we have been through. I fought back tears all morning, just consumed with emotion. Whether it was exhaustion, joy, sadness...I don't know, but …
I took today as a rest day to gather my thoughts. I find myself avoiding people and have spent most of the day just wandering around the foreshore and resting in my room. This town is so beautiful and I feel as if I am in Cornwall with its stone walls and fishing boats bobbing …

When we got back last night, everyone else had gone out and were at the other bar in town. We had dined on beautiful home cooked fare, drunk too much wine, and were in bed by 8.45. I pretended to be asleep when they came in, and they were telling Colleen what a great meal …
Each day we sing songs as we walk. They get stuck in our heads and after seeing a lonely little petunia about a week ago, I've had that song stuck in my head. "Im a lonely little petunia in an onion patch,An onion patch, yes, an onion patch. I'm a lonely little petunia in an …
I kept singing this to myself today as I wandered along more leafy laneways. 4 days of walking left and we will arrive in Santiago on Saturday about lunchtime! Cannot believe that it is nearly done and that we are on the countdown now. Tonight we are in Castro Dozon in a large albergue high …
We saw some strange things today. Perhaps the most bizarre was the tiny town of Bouzas in which we found a garden full of life sized fake people. It was so creepy!we also came across a chair along the side of the path (perhaps an old car seat)and this! A home made something or rather …
