Alert to bunions

I am trying out this travel blog to document our
travels on the Frances Camino which we begin on the 13th September.
Hopefully after each day I am not too tired to write up the day!
I am sure it will be an adventure for better or worse. At present we are trying to do as much walking as we can but life has a habit of getting in the way! Most days on the Camino we walk an average of 25 km so its not a doddle for our aging feet, knees and hips.
So how did I talk Brian into this adventure! After years of a bad knee Brian finally had the knee replacement which has been hugely successful so hopefully the knee not a problem. Then this year after 45 years of Optometry Brian retired so after hearing about our good friends Jane and Lee were doing it this September, we thought lets do this! Are we crazy , well possibly . But one thing we sadly learnt last year with the loss of our Jack ,is that you never know what life will throw at you.
Its not long now and lets hope the heat waves and the fires in Europe are well over.
I havent used a travel blog site before so this is a dummy run but if anyone out there is interested in following us on the way then this is the platform I will be using. Today it is blowing a gale in Waikanae and we were to walk Hemi Matenga but the weather was so atrocious I came home and made chocolate self saucing pudding! A great alternative occupation.Read more
