Our 3rd day, and the hottest, where we have had to walk in over 30 degree heat. Staff at the hotel said it wasn't even this hot in July! All the same, and even though I'm never good in the heat, theLes mer

Reisende Congratulations Camino on your Camino #1 where you experienced such wonderful Camino cameraderie and topping off with meeting up with some of your BMCS family. Your earlier VF of 60 days and 1220km is no mean feat, 👣 very different experiences. Well done you! x
Carmel Carlsen Thank you, Carlene. I can hardly believe that all these wonderful things have happened to me. I can't believe how lucky I am.
