Departure
May 7, 2022 in the Netherlands ⋅ 🌧 10 °C
And so our Camino starts. We said our goodbyes to our home and took our first steps on our Camino. Ready to board our first train. It's an exciting day. We've been waiting for this moment for years and are recollecting memories from Sinterklaas 2019 when we had a lot of "gifts" that come in handy on this trip.
Buen camino!Read more

Day 1
Thalys
May 7, 2022 in Belgium ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
With a delay of several hours we are now passing through Belgium on the Thalys train. Because of some problems on the railway we had a detour with a bus from Meppel to Zwolle, causing us to get delayed one hour at Schiphol. Rebooking tickets cost more time, resulting in a 2 hour delay on Thalys. And that will finally result in a four hour delay when we arrive at our hotel in Spain later.. but all is well. Spirits are good and we just make the most of our train trip.
Next post probably somewhere in France.Read more

Sometimes a delay can be beneficial as well. We had the chance to stop in Paris and enjoy a nice terrace before we move on further south. Life is good. 🍻

Doce tribus
May 8, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
After a pretty intense day we arrived at our destination for the day. A casa of a couple in their 60s who enjoy the visits of all the people hiking El Camino.
Today was beautiful but not for the weak. We climbed up to about 570m walked over a ridge came down to sea level to cross a canal and back up 400m. But views were spectacular. I'll post some of that in separate posts.
We will stay here for the night and continue to San Sebastián tomorrow which is 2k away, where we will breakfast probably.Read more

Day 3
After 49km of walking...
May 9, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
After 2 days and 49 kilometres on our route this is what I'm feeling:
- feet: nothing, perfect condition, thank God.
- legs: only a little bit of soreness at the joints of my hip, but nothing to worry about.
- shoulders: this is where it hurts more, 8-9 kilograms (that's including water) is not something I'm used to carry up and down the mountains over long periods of time. It's all muscular so hopefully it will go away soon.
- but the worst is completely unrelated to the walking. I left Holland with a sore throat and by now it's worse and makes talking difficult. Plus I'm by now all congested, coughing and the whole works..
So in other words you never know what the Camino brings.Read more
Traveler Tranquilo... todo estará bien!!! te amo!!❤️
