I wish I had some beautiful news about my Sketchbook and about the weather etc.
Hola Amigos
One might say I've got stalled on the Camino Frances. In many ways this is true.
I am recovering from a bad flu. But I'm recovering and the sun is just beginning to shine in Astorga.
The locals have told me that this is their March weather... not their May weather.
Regarding my Orisson sketchbook drama. Long story short Orisson gave it to a transfer company called. LHOST. This company have now offered to send it to my Sydney address for over US$100+. (it is AU$20 item).
Longer Story short: Orisson have suggested I use a Spanish address.
Beautiful Susi (Casa Susi) has offered their address in Trabedelo and asked for their phone number. Susi or Fermin will speak to them.
It's all up in the air at the moment.
The real loss for me is are the sketches.
Ponferrada tomorrow as I make my way to Casa Susi's Albergue and eventually meet David&Steph in Sarria.Read more
TravelerThanks, Jenny. I was thrilled as I immediately recognized it as a favourite in 2025. However the Flu, chasing the pharmacy and the constant drizzle didn't help. I've bought a collapsible umbrella+ face masks etc.
