TravelerAllan, I just realized that in the past 43 days, you have traveled 5,000 k which is 3,106 miles. That is more miles than the width of the United States. You are amazing!
TravelerHave you actually WALKED that many miles? Or does the 5000 k include your flight from the US? (Even so, that is still amazing!!)
TravelerOK, so...the 5K would indeed be the whole trip incl the flight. the app starts tracking and counting the moment you activate the trip and since I activated in EWR the ticking started... at 3100 miles it woul beat PCT...🙃. That said the total distance of Camino Frances from St.Jean to Santiago de Compostela is about 790 km. considering that I did skip some sections, I would estimate my total mileage at about 670km give or take and by the end of Finisterre extension it will be additional 90 km

Going to the west end and back to Santiago was definitely a good idea.
The first arrival at Santiago was too busy, too noisy, too confusing, too many people, all a bit overwhelming.
What a contrastRead more

Today we left for Finisterre. It was a bit bitter-sweet to leave Santiago. We both felt that we could have used another day of rest. But, we decided to have our packs shipped to the next Albergue. WeRead more

Mir gefallen besonders die Bauwerke, die damals noch für die Ewigkeit gefertigt wurden. Brücken, Häuser... in Deutschland gibt es so alte regelrechte Kunstwerke ja kaum. Die Gegend hat mir auch sehr gefallen.
Ja, ganz genau!
