Today was Brutal

All I can think of to say is STRUTH!! Is it just me, or do people do stupid things and not tell anyone....last night I organized to have my pack sent forward knowing I had a BIG day ahead today. I was so tired that I told them to send it to the wrong place! …

The Camino Ingles

A road less travelled, I heard, and yes I have been quite alone. So far I have seen a group of 10 in the distance and I've spoken to 4 others. So it started in Santiago where my handsome taxi driver took me out for lunch and then to the bus station and even got …

So Full of Thoughts

I have packed so much into this trip. I came with absolutely no expectations but I knew it would be ok, an adventure, because nothing was organized. It filled my daughter with anguish as she is the total opposite to me and is super organized with plans set in concrete before she does anything. All …

Lost Track of Time!

Where I left off was the beginning of an absolutely wonderful adventure with the handsome Spanish taxi driver. We went everywhere, ending each day at nearly midnight!

My Feet Hurt

Caldas de Reis to Padron I'm so behind and haven't felt like blogging on this Camino. This day was quite a long walk with my ankle still not right, and I still want to amputate my little toe. I hate the thing. It always gives me grief but this time is worse. The walk was …

I rested in my crappy room for a while and had to go in search of wifi as this place doesn't have any even though it was advertised. Found myself down by the river and walked through the botanical gardens in the sunshine. So pretty here. I've just had dinner with another Aussie from Dubbo …

Chance Encounters

After the bed bug affair, I decided to stay in an apartment, thinking that whoever slept in the bed/s I abandoned, would now be carrying bugs! I found a really nice place, and after showering, I went into town for a feed. I was just putting the key in the lock on my return, when …
