Pack optimisation started long before the trip. So many decisions to make!
Finally got it to around 6kg, without water or food. I don't think I can make it any lighter.

A rough walk, almost all off-track, which was like a full body workout! Legs were perfectly fine the next day, so I think I'm ready to do the longer but easier walks of the Camino.

The countdown is on! I walked to and from the office today, and the next two weeks I'm working from home. The plan is to minimise any chance of catching covid as the departure date approaches.

I aim to eat everything in the fridge and unplug it before I go, but I still have 10 days ahead! I think I'm going through it too fast and will need to shop again 🤦🏻♀️
Traveler Prima estas ansiosa por el viaje jaja yo estaria igual. Tendrás que estoquearte en el super😃❤️
Traveler Ja ja, claro que estoy un poco ansiosa! Pero voy a ver hasta cuando me puedo arreglar con lo que hay. No quiero comprar nada que no sea imprescindible 🙂
how did the fridge challenge go? I do this before any big family holidays - it takes a surprising amount of meal planning to have enough, but not too much :) [Kelley]

Another milestone. It's starting to feel more real!
This time the computer is not staying in sleep mode: it's shut down and unplugged. This is definitely getting serious!

Almost 10pm and most shops are open - not that I'll buy anything here, but it helps pass the time.
Oh, and the toilet was interesting! 😄

It was 40°C as I was walking from the bus station to the hotel, on arrival in Madrid.
