Ready to go

We are packed and ready to head off to the airport. So excited! Tonight we fly to Paris, via Doha, as we are flying with Qatar airlines. We will spend about a week or so in Paris where we will be joined by our friends Carole and John Petrich, and go with them to Bayonne in the south, and to St Jean Pied de Port which is the starting point of the Camino. Then we take about 50 days walking across Spain, with stops in some of the small cities. We know this route well, and are looking forward to the familiarity and to the contrasts, as this time it is spring whereas in the past it has been autumn, and after the grain crops have been harvested. So we anticipate green fields!

Anyway, this is just to start the blog. We hope that Paris is not too chaotic with the strikes and unrest at the moment! Am sure some normal life continues as well. Will report…. Only photo is of our bags - we are travelling light, just carry-on. Have been ruthlessly eliminating clothes! Next post from Paris.Leia mais
