TravelerYou are literally going the extra mile. It is probably a feeling different than walking the Camino. But it sounds just as beautiful. Are the accomadations like what was on the Camino?
Susan WilcoxYes but you have more options depending on whether you want privacy or not.
TravelerBe careful to listen to your body. That's my thought as I read your post. You've accomplished so so much.
