Today is my least favorite aspect of travelling.....flying home.
It is not that I don't want to see my wonderful family, it is the 10 hour flight 😱

I am not a very cooperative passenger . I push the rules as much as I can. Like leaving my window covering up....I was told to lower it🤔 Not staying in one's seat....wandering up and down the aisles to stretch the ol' legs. 😂

But honestly the absolute worst part is when you arrive and you have to patiently wait your turn to exit the plane......YIKES!!!
SHEER AGONY!!!

But today I will try and be an adult,😇,.....but it will be difficult because I am hangry and exhausted 😡🍀🤞😷

I actually had a delightful flight as the guy next to me said absolutely nothing for the entire time. I was also given a full can of Diet Coke each time I asked😁 with ice!!!

I downloaded the US Customs app and swiftly went through Customs.

I then followed the arrows ( just like the Camino) to the light transit and hopped aboard to go to the Amtrak Station in downtown Seattle. It was a 30 minute ride.

When I arrived there I asked the lady about my ticket and she told me to go outside as the earlier bus had not left yet😃
It was just pulling away when I tapped on the door and hopped on. How cool is that!!! Talk about smooth connections 😍
The funny thing is that I thought I was taking the train....but that's OK.

So now I am on the bus for Vancouver arriving 3 hours earlier than my expected time.

My journey has ended but more adventures are coming soon....TBC🤗💕💕

Thank-you all so much for following me😉👍もっと詳しく

Day 46 ♥️Burgos♥️ - Bilbao
2023年11月6日, スペイン ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
My opportunities to enjoy tortilla de patata and cafe con leche are coming to a close😥
I so enjoyed them both this morning🤗

I wished the young Russian girl "Buen Camino" this morning. She gave me a small chocolate famous in Russia as a gift 😍 So sweet💕

I am on the bus 😷 at present to Bilbao. The sun is shining and the clouds are so beautiful. I love the diversity of the Spanish landscape from fairly flat to mountainous.
The lady I am sitting beside is from Sartuce which is very close to Bilbao. We have conversed a small amount ..... I really need to learn Spanish🥺 She gave me a tasty candy😉💖

I arrived at the bus depot and bought a ticket to the airport. The Hotel I am staying at sent over a courtesy van to take me there. I was joined by another couple whose flight to Brussels had been delayed due to overbooking. They were very annoyed as the Airline made no apology at all.

I went for a walk to a nearby village and bought a few things for dinner. I enjoyed the sun and warmth immensely😎

I enjoyed the best shower in such a long time!!! Hot water! Towels! AND I don't have to share with anyone😉
I feel like a 👸 for sure.

My ride to the airport tomorrow is at 5:20 am with my flight to Amsterdam at 6:50. It will be a very long day but I have been prepared for that with this trip😉 Here's to Connections working out🤠👍🍀🙏もっと詳しく

Nothing can spoil your day when you start it with freshly made CHURROS 😍 By chance I found a stand. OMG they were crispy and DELICIOUS🤗💕

My one bunkmate from Japan has ended her Camino in Burgos. She literally collapsed while walking because she was so tired and cold. She said a Spanish man picked her up and drove her to ,Burgos. She flies today to London to see the musical Phantom of the Opera. She says the musicals in Japan are just not the same.

My other bunkmate was in a terrible way with extreme back pain. She could barely move. She did see a Dr. but the pain pills they gave her were not working at all. I hope she will be OK.

I checked out of my Hostel at 11 and put my pack into a locker that they had at the Cathedral. It did mean that I had to pay for another admission but I could not rationalize packing my pack for 4 hours. My check in time was 3 pm at the other place.

Windy and cold today but no rain 👍

I walked the path along the river. Very beautiful with all of the fall colours. Many branches were on the ground due to the high winds that have been occurring.

I am settled in my new Hostel. I had to laugh because the young girl who checked me in said that she loved Canada because she loved Justin Bieber!!!

My bus leaves for Bilbao tomorrow at 1030.

Two more sleeps until I leave. Where has the time gone 🤔 Hmmmmm.......もっと詳しく

Had a terrific sleep! My bunkmate loves sleeping with the window open👍

Out the door by 7. I am trying to leave earlier to beat the he.at.

Beautiful stars this morning. I even saw a shooting star.

Lovely walking although very steep inclines and declines. I used my walking backward down the hills to save my knees and give my quads a break.

Had breakfast with Camilla from Hungary at a bar. Anne Marie joined us. Freshly squeezed OJ and tortilla.

It got very hot once the sun came out. However most of the walking was in shade and lovely forested roads.

Much nicer conditions today and eventually we got back to the ocean.

Lovely hostel. We have cubed beds which offer curtains for privacy.

Went and got groceries for tomorrow

Had quite a pivotal moment when I had trouble with my pack transport. Long story short.... I am taking the train to Oviedo tomorrow and starting the Primitivo route Monday morning.

I decided to switch a bit earlier than planned......but so it goes.

I have felt very frustrated with this walk ever since Bilbao. I think the best part was Irun to Bilbao.

The change in plans took awhile to do tonight so I am keeping this short.もっと詳しく

Had a lovely breakfast at 7. Left for the train station. We had to take the train to the next stop for safety reasons.

Got off. Very cool and misty walking. Very peaceful listening to the birds.

Love seeing the livestock. Seeing the burros just made my day!!

I also saw my first pig but the picture didn't turn out well

Long stretches of pavement but this place is so cool!!
The convent is so nice. I can't wait for the Pilgrim:s blessing and supper tonight.

Everyone is here from the Albergue in Boo. Nice to see familiar faces for sure.

The shower was the best by far on the Camino to date.

Chris and her group from Alaska shared their pizza and salad with me for lunch. Amazing what good food can do to boost your spirits.

The heat reminds me of the Meseta last year....very weird for coastal walking I think.もっと詳しく

2023年10月5日, スペイン ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
Woke up at 530. Bunk mate from China was up as well. She was taking the train to Madrid. She completed the Del Norte from Irun to Santander. She will come back next year to do more.

This place had a freshly ground coffee machine which was FREE.
I had a few cups after I got it to work. They had a timer on it set for 830.....

Set off and met a few pilgrims . Apparently the main Albergue in Santander was closed for some reason so people were struggling for accommodation last night

Walked to Boo today. 15 km the stage was 38 km in total. Way too far for me.

I have never seen as many arrows as I did today?? Why ??

My Albergue doesn't open until 230 so I am having tortilla at a bar with a mini Coke Zero.

I will rest and plan some more. So much road walking again...I miss the dirt trails at the beginning🙄

Very pretty countryside. I saw my black cat for the day👍🤗

Not a spectacular day at all. Very hot! at 111 in the morning.もっと詳しく

Great sleep although I was up late looking at the upcoming stages I am thinking of going down the Primitivo way. There is a lot of road walking lately which I would prefer to be hiking more
I will go to Oviedo and decide there I think

Started walking in the dark on a narrow road with no shoulder. I had my headlamp on but it was not very good 😳
I thought the road would improve but it did not all the way until we were closer to the ocean This is what I am not to keen on.

My pictures will show how narrow the road was....buses and big trucks are on it. Not Pilgrim safe at all🥺

I have a pic of an elderly gent walking and who was listening to Opera....

The countryside really is stunning.

I had the best tortilla ever for breakfast! With fresh orange juice 🥰👏

The views of the ocean from the path along the cliff were Spectacular!!!

Huge beach. It must have been a couple km long for sure. It reminded me of the West Coast trail beach walking.

I used my GPS to navigate where I was to go after it.....and almost missed the tiniest sign that said 'ferry".

There were delightful people from Italy, Nomads from the USA they have an address in South Dakota....it's a long story ...and a guy and his wife from Victoria Lex and Peter. She is suffering with a leg compartment syndrome😥but is improving.

Took the awesome ferry over to Santander. A pirate ship was docked close to where we got off. 3.30 Euros for the ride.

Found my hostel. Very nice indeed.

My watch wasn't charged enough and turned off early. I clocked 25 km today. Sunny and very warm😎もっと詳しく

Had a terrific sleep. Left by 7 am.
I am only walking 20 km today. So not completing the 28 km stage

Overcast with light rain. I packed my raincoat.

Started with a 5 km walk to a point where a ferry would bring us over to Sonoma.

All of a sudden pilgrims started appearing including Victoria !
I was so happy to see her again.

We had cafe con leche after we crossed. Vibram guy was with us on the ferry as well.

While we had our coffee a dozen pilgrims passed😱 it was the most I have seen all trip. Yesterday I saw 3 pilgrims in total during the day.

Victoria mentioned how she had suffered with the heat yesterday I guess a pilgrim was airlifted by helicopter off of a ridge ....heat exhaustion/ collapse.....very scary.

So many varied ways today. Victoria is going a different way than me. We parted ways....

Beautiful peaceful walking.
Quiet countryside. It did rain a bit but no bother.

Arrived at my destination early before 2 pm. 🙄
Had Bacalou fish for lunch
Very tasty after I removed the batter and skin.

Very wonderful hostel. Immaculate and Fantastic shower.

I have a long day tomorrow as I am going to Santander. Another ferry ride I am told. Yahoo!もっと詳しく

Had a great sleep. Left later than usual 7:00am

Very nice beginning to the day but starting at 20 C is tough.

As you can see the scenery is stunning. However I thought I could handle the distance but the heat made it extremely challenging.

I was fine until Liendo. As you can see looking at the map there are tons of alternative routes. I thought the one I chose was the shortest.....30 km later😱

But the big roadblock was that MY PHONE DIED !!!!

Yup. I know it overheated....battery fried!

So I had no way to navigate my way when I arrived at Laredo.
I had no address or phone number of the place. Luckily I remembered its name.

I looked at a map at the Church of Santa Maria run by 2 Nuns in habits. But trying to find the signage on buildings is tricky. 2 people told me to go the Policia for help.

By some miracle I found the place.....it was 530 at night!!!

Then I was sooooo fortunate to find a phone place (same company that I bought my SIM card from) and bought a NEW PHONE

I am the proud owner of a Samsung Galaxy A14 5G😂
The lady spoke excellent English. I was also able to go to a shop to get the screen protector and case.

Needless to say I was a wee bit weary....もっと詳しく

2023年10月1日, スペイン ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
Woke up at 430 am to the sound of a lot of talking. I believe it was Korea n? I know they like to start early......

Anyway, Anja is going to walk with me. Victoria from Florida lent her a day pack. She is sending her luggage ahead and has booked a place before my destination. She is unsure how many km she can do.

We set off not on the original Camino but an alternative that Victoria told us about. By the ocean more and no senseless climbs in the mountains.

Beautiful and stunning path today.
The town of Verbenia had a German feel to it with the house style Bavarian looking.

My pace was quite slow as I accommodated Anja. After La Arena I parted ways with her as I had about 10 kms more to do than her.

It was sooooo hot But the path passed a Bar at the top with a view of the ocean😍 Topped up with Gatorade and CocaCola Zero .

Passed a pilgrim wearing VIBRAMS. Barefoot alternative.
He was walking on pavement!!! Yikes!!!

Today I leave the Basque country and enter into Cantabria.もっと詳しく

Day 8 Reat Day - Portugalete
2023年9月29日, スペイン ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
Had a great sleep. Woke up early to say goodbye to Bernadette and Anna

Anja decided to stay an extra night. We went out for a delicious lunch I had Sea Bass !
Lots of bones so had to be careful.

I met Anja in Bilbao. She was carrying so much stuff that a homeless person saluted her😅

She bought a new backpack there and walked 10 km. She Stopped and decided to take the bus. She didn't know how so asked a garbage collector who in turn led her to the warehouse where about 50 men were gathered. No one aspoke English and only one spoke German. He was able to help her👍

Today I helped her arrange her luggage transfer. She will do less km tomorrow than I.
We will set out at 7 at the latest It looks like another scorching hot day.

I must mention this Viscaya hanging bridge thing it transports people and vehicles over the channel in a suspended team for 50 Euros.....or you can pay 8.5 Euros to walk across the top of it!!! I could have taken it but didn't realize what it was. I thought it was just an ugly crane like structure Anja took it and had a blast😅

There is an alternative route for tomorrow by the water so we will take that . I don't know how it will affect my kms for the day.

A man in our Albergue got lost just trying to find this place. So many pilgrims go off track The Camino is very poorly marked and there are so many other trails as well. The GR trail is one marked by red and white stripes . It is used all over Europe. At this point I am navigating with a screenshot of a map/ downloaded map from All Trails app Google Maps, and the Wise Pilgrim app. I will be a pro with navigation after this experience for sure😉😅💪もっと詳しく

You have certainly met some interesting people - you are not as alone as I had thought you would be - very nice! Getting to be a good navigator is awesome!

2023年9月29日, スペイン ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
Oh my goodness! So hot today! It is supposed to stay this way for 10 days or so.

Met a lovely girl from Winchester as a bunk mate. Her name is Julie and she was hilarious. I had the buffet breakfast at our hostel this morning with her. Then we walked together to the museum and parted ways She had been on a 5 day kayaking/hiking vacation with 12 of her friends. They were close to Santander a place called Llanes.

Very dull walk today. Not many pics. I have been spoiled. A lot of people skip this part🙄

I rode another Pickle boat. A guy on the boat tried scamming me for 50 Euros😳 Then the driver of the boat got into a shouting match with him. I had thought I was to pay him to go across but he was keeping the mone y. The Spanish get very excited when provoked😱

Took my time walking today I stopped for lunch and bought a belt to keep my shorts from falling down.

Love the Albergue here. Very nice Pilgrims. One of the ladies started from Holland 2 months ago Bernadette.

I met a new friend Anja from Germany. I will tell you more about her later.

Oh yes check out the guy with the 12 foot rod. I wish I knew what kind of fish was trying to catch.

Going to bed now😔

This was a day of very rough trail conditions ....mud and rocks!

Before I explain I want to let you know that every day I see a black cat🥺 Today it was a ceramic one in a shop I passed this am....Harley's spirit♥️

Great day and only saw maybe 6 pilgrims total.
I have taken shots of the different trail surfaces to give you an idea of what we walk on.
We went through a forest that had used heavy equipment.

Trees today were eucalyptus and pine. Some pine trees are dying and I wonder if they have pine beetle here??

We didn't go thru any towns.
About 12 km in A lady had a stand by the edge of the road with fresh fruit, nuts ( freshly roasted off their trees) .What a treat!!!

I also saw my first fig tree today!
Very hot High 20's.

I have added on a better map of the stage I walked as the one on my Garmin isn't great.

Took the train to Bilbao from Lemaza as there was no place to stay there or on the next stage.

Oh and I tried my first pinxto. They are like tappas.

I lost my sunglasses but got another pair luckily🤗もっと詳しく

Wonderful sleep even though the woman beside me snored like a .....Had breakfast and merrily set out.

Glorious sunrise. Beautiful countryside and forest hiking..
I was super delighted to catch up with Tricia and Kira. They are a Mom and daughter pair from Gallway Ireland. Kira wanted to go by herself and her mom said "Can I come?" Tricia was such a trooper!! I told her how awesome she was doing. Not easy at all for her. They fly home Saturday.

Rianne sent me a funny voice message....she said "I want to be kind to my body ( she had a previous Achilles SX,) so I will only do 22 km today not the ,30 I had planned! " I never did meet up with her I think I passed her somehow. 😢

Then came the Burros. I was in heaven. I petted the little guy for a long time. I loved his bangs!!!

I went off track again. There were even arrows pointing that way....very confusing for people.

I am slowly getting the hang of GPS trail walking.....Very sketchy signage in a lot of places.もっと詳しく

Up at 5 am and caught the 620 bus back to Deba. I learned to never trust your memory in Spain for locations use Google Maps. I almost missed the bus 🙄

Spectacular day. Beautiful scenery. mostly forest trails. I maybe saw 8 Pilgrims in total.

I saw Lauren from Glasgow. She has the coolest accent.

A lot of people are finishing in Bilbao. Many just walking for a week.

This is my favorite Camino so far. It is very similar to walking between Muxia and Finisterre.

The Albergue is very nice. There are 18 beds altogether in a loft. We will see how much sleep I get tonight🤞🍀もっと詳しく

旅行者Hi Vicki It is gorgeous and pictures do not do justice to the beauty here. Sleep is tough to get. Right now I am doing this and it's 11:20pm I hope to sleep to 7 tomorrow as I have a short day. So happy you are enjoying my ramblings 💕

I actually took advantage of staying in my hostel 2 nights so slept in!!

I left around 730.
The first part was walking on the sea wall for 4 km. Beautiful sunrise.

Cafe con leche in Gitaria.

I didn't see Rianne . She is 2 stages ahead of me now. I won't see her again which is so sad.
I also didn't.'t see Gavin either. He had a late start and no room booked for tonight poor guy.
We keep in touch with What's App 🤗

I had to travel by train from Deba when I arrived back to Zarautz because there were no beds available.

Anyway beautiful trails and scenery.

I love the Del Norte😂😍もっと詳しく

旅行者Hmmmm - my "sleep in" today was 0945. Sad to meet and like then not see again new people, but delightful that it is so easy and comfortable to connect with others on the same journey, Sorry I write so much - just so cool to hear about it all, almost in real time!

Woke up at 5 am and started walking along the sea wall for 3 km.
There were people everywhere,!!
Some bars were still even open.

Beautiful scenery. Loved being in the woods seeing lighthouses, and the views of the ocean.

I have included a few pics of what we had to walk on just to give you an idea of the wide variety of surfaces. Then add on the steepness of the terrain and that is why the difficulty is rated so high.

Many people were on the beaches because it was Saturday Hundreds of road bikes. No cute bell to let you know they are there. I will never complain ever again about how annoying they are🙄

They travel in peletons ( groups of varied numbers,) and pedal at unbelievable speeds. They terrify me. I have almost been hit a couple of times 😱

Lots of donkeys🥰😍♥️ Also sheep, cows and goats.

Absolutely loving each day. I rarely see many pilgrims. This trail ticks all the boxes except for trying to book rooms 🙄 An ongoing issue.

Wishing everyone good health🤗💖もっと詳しく

旅行者Isn't it awesome when a trip ticks all the right boxes! So delighted to hear of your journey and that you are loving each day! Love seeing the pictures - almost nothing beat absorbing new cultures, sights, sounds, odors, and ambiance! Still can't believe how early you start your morning and interesting that others are still enjoying their nights. You'll love Africa - we have to get up around 0500 to do the morning safari. Wishing you ongoing good health.

旅行者Honestly Vicki you would love the hiking each day. I mean there are some lows but overall an experience in solitude with nature. It is very peaceful. You can hear the bells clanging on the horses and cows. Lots of goats I think of you when I see them🥰 Thank-you for your good wishes and to you as well💕💕💕

I slept 10 hours last night.

Walked around the town and bought a new headlamp.
Saw Gavin and chatted for a bit.
He is waiting for his mate to arrive this afternoon.

What a great place! Old town is very quaint very much like Leon.
I didn't get any pics of it just around the church.

Tomorrow will be hot they say.もっと詳しく

旅行者Hi! Just getting the hang of this program - very cool! I can see where you are on the map and where you've been! The varied places you are walking through are fascinating - just love the trail through the grasslands and along the bluff! Glad you got a new headlampt - simply can't do without light. Enjoy tomorrow!

So....went to bed so excited for my first day of walking ....and someone started running a chainsaw at 1am - 5 am!!!!
And there was a forklift beeping.
Not a great sleep.

On the road by 630 am
Following a new GPS as my other app doesn't have one yet.
Needless to say, very little signage and I had to ask 3 different Spanish men where the trail was.!!!

I finally found it and saw a few pilgrims so was very relieved.

Very challenging
Absolutely gorgeous scenery.
Walking with a guy from Leeds Gavin) and a young Dr. from
Germany (Polo). She is studying 6 years to be a visceral surgeon.

My pics will show the terrain. You can see how the weather changes.

Delighted to walk through a herd of pregnant Mares and foals just grazing. Saw a few frail runners ( not Camino people)

I will include my Garmin stats to show elevation as well.

I lost my headlamp.

Great but exhausting day🤗
Oh and Rianne is a stage ahead of me. Very slim chance I will see her again but we're texting.もっと詳しく

I was able to sleep a bit on the plane which was good.
Lots of kids and babies.
Very tight connection in Amsterdam but they have a special line for people like me to go through customs faster
I can't wait to get to Bilbao. It is such a beautiful city.

Arrived here at SeaTac airport and passed through security without issue.
We took a train to get to our gate. The plane is packed!!
The flight is 9 hours 25 minutes, so I will have to get up and walk around when able to.
I believe the Mountain is My. Ranier?
Did not see any Northern Lights this trip.
I watched Veep (hilarious) and Succession.もっと詳しく
