      Knicks and knocks and favorite pics

      October 1, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

      There is so much to walk... There is so much to see... And there is so much to remember what we have seen so far ... And at the moment, everything of what we've experienced so far sits in a huge boiling pot mixed together ❤️. That's how I feel now, plus I don't feel my legs, and I feel my hip and my feet 😅😂. Just wanted to catch the moment while we are having coffee , cerveza and natural juice after walking for 17 km on the flat gravel road with no place to stop and sit down or pee in the privacy of the tree or a shrub 🫣. Now we are hopefully rested, for sure filled with coffeine, hops and nutrients from oranges are going to walk another 12 k. Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts and thank you for walking with us virtually 👍🥰Read more

      Day 21 - Villacazar to Calzadilla

      September 4 in Spain ⋅ 🌙 17 °C

      Good weather today, cool morning, but warmed up by the time we made it to our alberge. More trees and corn fields dotted the landscape today. Got back into the grain fields as we reached Calzadilla.

      We take a morning selfie each day, and it's usually the one I post first. Some looked refreshed other times, not so much. I guess I snored a lot last night, so Teresa's a little tired in the picture this morning.

      If you were wondering, here is our routine for a day. Wake up at 6 am, do our morning duties( brush teeth, bathroom), gather our belongings, and move from the sleeping area to a common area to get ready. Doctor our feet or muscles, eat a banana, then hit the path between 0630 and 0700.

      We walk 3 - 6 km to the next village to get coffee, OJ, and some food... hopefully. We then keep walking, around 10ish, we stop at a bar/ cafe to get a cold drink and a snack (or eat something we bought the night before). At this time, we kick off the shoes to let the feet breathe.

      We start walking again. Usually, we'll stop to take in water, stretch, and / or take pictures. We keep walking until we reach our stop for the day, usually around 130 to 230pm. We check in, take a shower, wash our clothes, hang them to dry, then get some lunch and a beer, or tinto de verona.

      After lunch, we siesta until dinner, usually around 7pm. Then buy our bananas or other snacks for the morning. We then fill our water bottles, doctor our feet, or apply muscle cream again and take some ibuprofen. We do this blog and head to bed around 9 ish.

      Then do it all over again in the morning. The life of pilgrims.      Read more

      Day 17 to Calzadilla de la Cueza

      May 23 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

      Bit of a short day... so more day drinking - a habit on the Camino it seems... walk, café con Leche, walk, eat, drink, sleep, repeat

      Nice place with pool... and hanging with 2 couples that met on the Camino... Elizabeth & Ian in 2022 when she nearly passed out and he saved her and now... it's complicated... she is!American and he is in England...

      And the other couple is Ida from Norway and Paul from Ireland. They met 7 years ago and got married last year.

      I also walked a short bit with Chuck(sp?) from Seattle...

      And John from Australia gave me a kangaroo pin... he was in the cathedral last night when they blessed the pilgrims... I cried and he was kind ...

      Said goodbye to Rob... he is going back to Netherlands... will walk the rest of the Camino next time... but the time on the road restored his faith in humanity.

      Previous night Gabbi & I chatted a bit... we had Chai tea and did not keep an eye on the time... and the next moment the nun came into the lounge area and scolded us like little children and sent us off to bed... I did not even brush my teeth! Just climbed in bed like a good girl! Gabbi left early today... did not see her but I hope I'll see her later again      Read more

      It's a Long Way to Calzadilla de la Cuez

      October 14, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

      The most boring 17K walk I'll ever do! No shade, mostly flat, I was having hallucinations by the end.😅 Thank God there was a breeze, and it was not the height of the summer!

      2 things that broke up the 4 hour monotony-- a Pilgrim traveling by
      skateboard, and a food truck that served cold, fresh squeezed orange juice.

      Happy to be in Calzadilla de la Cueza for the night. Atleast we know there is food & drink here, unlike last night when we weren't sure...learning to take nothing for granted.      Read more

      Stage 20: Carrion-Calzadilla de la Cueza

      October 4, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

      17 km/10 miles, 46°-74°, about 5.5 hours. Left Carrion a little later than planned as I found it hard to get up before 0700. Left my phone charger in the room which I was sure I was never going to do. So I may be offline until I can find another one. My next stop, Sahagún, is big enough I should be able to find one there. Was rather slow going as right lower leg was quite unhappy, on the top of the foot going up into the front of my lower leg. The muscles used to dorsiflex, or pull the toes up, are painful and the area was red and swollen when I got here. The kind bar man gave me a bag of ice, that and some naproxen are helping considerably. The hostal I'm staying in has a restaurant and serves dinner at 6:30! So I don't have to walk far to find food. It's 13.9, let's just call it 14, miles to Sahagún tomorrow, if this isn't feeling better I may take a taxi. I'm almost at the halfway point, feet don't fail me now! The expansive flat landscape of the meseta reminds me of Nebraska or Iowa, thank goodness I'm walking it in October in the 60s and 70s, it would have been unbearable in the summer.
      And now, a siesta before dinner.      Read more

      Calzadilla de la Cueza

      September 13, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 70 °F

      Started out before dark again today, was a mild day as it was cloudy and sprinkled a bit today. We walked 12 miles today with no towns in between to stop, there was a food truck in the middle of nowhere about half way. Found a few benches along the way to sit and rest for a few minutes.Read more

      Day 20

      September 12, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

      Monday again… breakfast obviously started earlier today, as I could hear lots of banging of doors and smell bacon from about 6am.. I still didn’t go down until my usual time as there was no point, I didn’t need to leave until 8.
      The forecast had changed slightly and the rain wasn’t due until this afternoon!! Result!!
      Although a bit cloudy to start today, it was actually really really warm.. it was a bit more of the same today, except it wasn’t long straight tracks and it passed through a few small villages .. amazing the difference it made.
      Just on the outskirts of Sahagún, I met a group of walker’s laughing as they wandered along, as I passed them they were all drinking from a bottle of red wine!! .. they even offered me a swig!! I politely declined, but definitely decided it was ok for me to have a beer when i got there!!
      Having had my beer ( not my first 😬 ) and my first paella snack since arriving in Spain ( I was expecting it to be every other meal!! ) I set off to find my accommodation..
      My room is lovely, super clean and bright after yesterday’s dark and gloomy one.. I put my bag down, lay down for a minute ( today was the first time my legs felt really tired ) .. and woke up 2 hours later!!!!
      Showered and sorted, I decided to go in search of a cash machine.. I got as far as the door, it was absolutely hammering down, so I joined Hazel and Yvonne for a beer.. would have been rude not to do so I thought.. it was a lovely hour talking about how we were feeling, finding it, and how quickly you loose your pride about wearing the same few outfits, hanging socks that haven’t dried on your rucksack and the joy of doing your laundry!!
      Then… In walks Rocky!! Real big trucker guy from Wisconsin, really outgoing and friendly … he’d arrived here yesterday, got a halfway certificate, then felt so guilty because he’d actually got a taxi for that stage due to blisters or something, that he’d got a taxi back this morning and hiked it today!!
      For a change ( not! ) I’m really hungry again and counting down till it’s time to eat.. 7 minutes!! I hope it’s not a disappointment 😂😂…      Read more

      30. Etappe: Calzadilla dela Cueza (38km)

      November 26, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C

      Nach einer entspannten Schnarch-Trio-Nacht und nem guten Frühstück starteten wir heute alle nach und nach in den bisher kältesten Tag. Zum ersten Mal Minus-Grade am Morgen - Zeit die Leggins unter die Wanderhose zu ziehen und schnell zu starten, um fix warm zu werden! 🥶
      Nach den vielen kleinen Etappen fühlte ich mich heute wieder bereit für eine längere und stoppte nicht schon, wie fast alle anderen Pilger nach 20 km, sondern huschte nur schnell durch Carrion de los Condes. Kurz vorher traf ich Elisabeth und Lilly wieder, wir erzählten uns von unseren Erlebnissen der letzten Tage und verabschiedeten uns dann auch schon wieder, da auch sie hier stoppten. Nach weitern 18 km ohne jeglichen Ort kehrte ich dann in einem kleinen Dorf und der einzigen offenen Herberge Camino Real ein, die praktischer Weise auch eine Bar beherbergt (und im Sommer auch nen Pool inkl. Bar!) - aber leider keine Küche. Das Essen was ich dafür extra gekauft hatte, werde ich wohl auch morgen noch einmal mit mir herumtragen 😅 Eingekehrt sind hier nur noch 2 weitere Pilger, so dass wir sehr viel Platz und Ruhe haben.

      Day 30

      Ledigos (23.2km / 390.1km)

      May 12, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

      We slept in a big dormitory room and some crazy people left at 3am?? and 4 am?? and 4.30am! Anyway, it was 3 degrees when we started and stayed cool all day. At one point we thought we were going to get wet but we stayed just ahead thankfully.
      We were really worried about the heat in the Meseta but as you can see on the weather forecast, it will be cold for the next week so we will be spared. When it is cool we probably walk at least 15% quicker.
      There was a 16km gap between the two towns this morning but a local had set up a fabulous containerised food van stop and we had a lovely cup of coffee and second breakfast after 8km.
      We caught up with an Aussie group of 3 that we met briefly on Day 1 and then about 10 days later. Nice to see them again.
      Sadly, Sally the dog is now 1 town ahead of us and we will probably not see them again. We caught up with them briefly at our lunch stop. There was also a mobile pilgrim police van checking everyone was ok. They have a section of the police which are only for pilgrims and they can be called at anytime and are often seen driving by checking if anyone needs assistance.
      We haven’t talked much about the walk because there is not much to say. It was a long, straight, flat walk. It is still pretty but in a different way. With less to look at we are supposed to think more / focus on the mental side. Towards the end of the day all we are thinking about is our feet! The rest of our bodies are strong but did I mention the feet?
      Our accommodation, Albergue la Morena, is a lovely restored property with exceptional service. There is nothing else in town - we didn’t see a single person other than Albergues. Even the church was locked and barred. The small local towns just are not financially feasible to maintain which is sad and makes our Albergues all the more impressive.
      We had a stunning dinner with a lentil and vegetable dish, pork ribs and tiramisu! We shared our table with a Canadian lady. A lovely end to the day.      Read more

      Dérouté et l'essentiel

      May 19, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

      Parti à 6h30 ce matin nous avons traversé la ville et longé la route pour un moment avec un choix de 2 options, le choix que nous avons fait était celui avec 1 km en moins, en se rendant compte que cette économie nous privaient du chemin traditionnel et que nous
      nous avons décidé de rebrousser chemin et revenir sur le chemin traditionnel.
      La Meseta est réapparue et nous avons pu constater que deux fleurs symboliques se couplaient le long du chemin pour souligner la reconnaissance de nos militaires durant les guerres mondiales.
      Le bleuet de France et le coquelicot au Canada accoupler tout les deux pour nois une formes de coencidence qui porte tout de
      même à la réflexion et une forme de message, rien pour nous ne peut être un hasard dans notre condition actuelle.

      Après ce constat l'on s'est partagé quelques chanson de Regianni, Brel et Renaud et poursuivre pendant 12 km le chemin en silence sur un rythme de marche
      rapide et constant.

      Notre heure d'arrivée fût surprenante et pour nous comme d'habitude une excellente journée.

      Nous sommes encouragés et prêt à surmonter les difficultés que le chemin nous imposera!!!      Read more
