O Pedrouzo to Santiago

An early start today 5:15 am, it was a new moon which meant the sky was dark. Walking through the forest with a head light was quite a thrill. It was very quiet except for the owls calling and water flowing through streams. Most impressive were the star’s, Orion’s Belt was on show with all its brilliance. Quite a rare experience to walk in the dark and to become aware of how the ancient pilgrims were navigating by the stars. If I were ever to come back for another Camino, it would be good to walk earlier in the morning to have this rare experience as a more regular experience. However, I’m not coming back to do another Camino at this stage. Felling very grateful to have completed and for our bodies, minds and spirits standing up to the challenge.もっと詳しく
