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 …
Aghhhh
I've written a blog twice now and even added photos but I keep deleting it by mistake!
The Unexpected Things are the Best
Today was absolutely wonderful. It began with the taxi driver coming by. He took me out for breakfast before dropping me off at the cathedral to start walking. What a lovely man. I complained yesterday about having to pay in the cathedral but I am humbled and ashamed by that, as the Camino obviously sent …
Ahhhhh….Spain!
There is something about Spain and it's people that is unequalled. I felt myself sigh with pleasure as I crossed the bridge to Tui this afternoon. What a beautiful little town it is with its enormous Cathedral that you have to pay to enter. No, I didn't pay. I refuse. I just got my stamp …
Time to think
I've decided to take a rest day and explore the town. This trip was never really about wanting to achieve anything. I've done the Camino thing before and I think I probably just wanted to have a holiday. I often find it disappointing that you arrive in a beautiful town and don't have time to …
Im so embarrassed
Morning sounds He started at 4am and didn't stop. Should see the size of him. Looks like that Disney rooster (Foghorn Leghorn) Now, my friends are going to laugh at this, and I'm ok with that.... you may or may not know that I'm almost legally blind and can't see a thing further than an …
Ready To Start
At breakfast this morning, I happened across a Canadian guy (Dan) looking quite lost and a bit nervous. This is his first Camino so we sat and chatted a while. I bought my train ticket yesterday to where I want to start walking, so as I knew where to go, I offered to walk him …
Porto
I'm a bit slow this time with blogs because I've been doing little movies instead, and actually, I don't have much to report about the last two days. I'm in Portugal now and gosh it's hard if you don't have the language skills. Just lucky so far that most people seem to know a bit …
