      Day 21

      Tag 21 von Fromista Carrion de los Conde

      May 22, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

      Heute war ein eher kurzer Tag es war nicht mehr so warm und es ging immer ein leichtes Lüftchen. Das war nach der Hitze der letzten Tage eine richtige Wohltat. Heute habe ich mit einigen Leuten gesprochen echt super. Mein Englisch wird immer besser 😃 . Es ist halt so das auf dem ganzen Weg Englisch gesprochen wird. Hier in Carrion de los Condes gibt es 6 Kirchen und 2 sind offen aber diese sind wirklich schön. Jetzt geht's noch etwas essen und um 20 Uhr ist Feierabend. Das Laufen und die frische Luft mache ziemlich müde. Morgen sind es 26km. Besser Ausgeschlafen gehen . Um 5:30 Uhr aufstehen und um 6:00 Uhr geht's los .Read more

      Day 25

      Castrojeriz to Fromista

      May 15, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

      When I woke this morning my foot was swollen and more painful and it was obvious I wouldn’t be able to walk today. Lesley from Durham was also injured so we shared a taxi to the medical centre in Fromista.

      My foot is sprained and I have to stop walking for seven days. This is very disappointing but I was happy that I hadn’t broken anything. However the doctor said Lesley’s back injury was severe and she couldn’t keep walking and she will have to return home for treatment.

      We spent the morning looking at the churches and having a second and third breakfast while we waited to check into the albergue and for her travelling companions to arrive.

      We all then went for a long lunch and it unexpectedly ended up being a very enjoyable day.

      Day 24

      Long walk to Frómista

      May 3 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

      Another amazing day, but quite a long one…about 27 kms, though Amr’s watch says 28…but it again was sensational, except just when we had almost arrived, and were enjoying walking along the canal de Castillo there was a diversion and we had to take a long cut around some works, where it looks like they are putting a highway through…probably only an extra km but it was a bit boring!

      Otherwise it was great - we set off about 9, and it was cold but not icy, and left Castrojeriz and the first thing was a long climb - about 1.5 kms and 900 metres - which we knew from before, but this time it was a sparkling green and amazing panorama back to Castrojeriz. We had always thought wow, but in spring WOW! The you walk across the plateau and down the other side, steeper but fortunately paved so no sliding loose stones, and another great vista on the other side.

      Then it went on, always green and lovely, and undulating, but it was long. There are many wild flowers - rogue yellow rapeseed plants dotted, rosemary bushes now flowering, and we found from Rachel’s app that one rather straggly but pretty flower was “rocket salad” and looked carefully, and smelt the leaves, and it was rocket, arugula. And there are poppies, and we identified a Judas tree flowering beautifully. We stopped for a break (but to my horror they didn’t do ColaCao) and otherwise just plowed on.

      Got to the lovely canal de Castillo before reaching Frómista and stopped in a bar before even finding the hotel. Finally I had my ColaCao, and it was in a ColaCao glass!!! A first! Also, while we were sitting there an American pilgrim came up to Amr and said how much he loved the hat!! I thought all who have commented would appreciate that…Then found our hotel, all in the same one tonight, and a new one for us. A very modern ecohotel, and large modern room and such a huge bed we will lose each other. All meeting for dinner later, at a restaurant they have given us vouchers for.      Read more

      Von castrojeriz nach fromista.

      May 21, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C

      Hola buenas...selbst wenn ich wollte, könnte ich heute keine vernünftige Dokumentation des Tages schreiben, denn ich bin heute wie schon angekündigt schonenderweise nicht gepilgert, sondern mit einem Taxi zur nächsten Alberque gefahren. Nun habe ich mir überlegt, einfach mal diejenigen zu danken, welche mich immer bei der Planung und Vorbereitung auf dieses Abenteuer unterstützt haben. Dazu gehört natürlich meine Lisa, die mir immer den Rücken freigehalten hat, bei der ganzen Geschichte. MeineTochter auf die ich so stolz bin und meine Sangesbrüder und Freunde. DANKE, ICH LIEBE EUCH ALLE. Fazit des Tages: es ist wichtig im Leben, solche Menschen an seiner Seite zu wissen. Gott beschütze euch. Buen camino.Read more

      Day 20

      Tag 20 von Castrojeriz nach Frómista

      May 21, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C

      Der Tag heute begann gleich mit einem Anstieg von 200 Metern auf 1.5 Kilometer. Danach war es eher gerade. Meine Gedanken waren heute bei meiner Frau die mich seit 28 Jahren im Leben begleitet und ohne die ich nicht da wäre wo ich heute bin ! Sie hat es sicher nicht immer leicht mit mir aber irgendwie hält sie es mit mir aus. Leider kann ich es nicht immer so zeigen wie ich es gerne würde. Ich weiß das ich ohne ihre Unterstützung diesen Weg nie hätte machen können. Ich hoffe auf noch viel Glückliche und gesunde Jahre mit ihr und natürlich meinen beiden Kindern. Der Weg macht etwas mit einem obwohl man es erst garnicht so bemerkt. Alles wird irgendwie zur neben Sache nur das wichtige kommt in den Vordergrund. Auch vergisst man die Wochentage . Es gibt nur Schlafen Laufen und Essen . Die Hitze ist teilweise echt nicht mehr auszuhalten vor allem ohne Schatten. Mal schauen wie es weiter geht.Read more

      Day 23

      Day 20 Fromista to Carrion de Condes

      October 10, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 50 °F

      We had a shorter walk today, so we took our time heading out. The mornings are quite crisp now. We started out with hats, puffers and gloves. Within an hour or so we are back to shirt sleeves. We are continuing across the Maseta and took an alternate route that kept us in quiet countryside instead of near the highway. We were fortunate to find the Ermita de la Virgen del Rio church open to visit. We stopped for refreshments in Villacazar de Sirga which is home to the magnificent Knights of Templar church Santa Maria, open since the early 1300's. We ended the day in Carrion de Los Condes, where we were honored to celebrate the birthday of our new friend Ann which we met in Hornillos de Camino.Read more

      Somehow all managed to take different routes to this place but all got there in one piece!! Albeit a dead one piece for me - paid the price being too lazy to get out snax from bag for the final 5K LOL. In the eve sang w some nuns and I think Captain Stu needs to take over my captioning duties cos he said they should have been on the cross factor not X factorRead more

      Day 16

      Finaly arrived

      August 15, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C

      Today I did 35 Km in 7h (breaks incl.)! A few kilometers were next to a canal and at the end the canal fell down 30-40m- and I had to cross this reservoir bank (Staustufe) via a very small bridge! A bit scary if you are afraid of hights like me. Puh- my feed were burning but it worked out! It was actually the longest stage I did so far!
      Tomorrow there is a monster step of 18 through the Meseta with nothing (no village, no water), that‘s why everybody tries to get here- I might start early again and see how far I get afterwards! Tomorrow I will also pass the midpoint of the whole Camino, so I get closer and closer to Santiago and also ultimately to my family! 😘😍🥰      Read more

      Day 17..

      September 9, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

      Well.. I know I seem to have developed an appetite I haven’t had since I was about 15… but .. croissants 🥐.. Eeww!!! Panic at breakfast thinking that was possibly all I was going to get before a longer walk today, I held my breath and struggled through half of one!! … It wasn’t 🙄.. toast followed 😀and a dodgy cold omelette like cake 😬… but the Orange juice was amazing and I’m warming to coffee…
      Time to go… a really lovely morning with a strange low hanging mist in the distance, but much warmer than it’s been for a few days.. found my way out of town ok as I was once again staying on the route.. I hadn’t bothered looking at the route for today as I assumed it was another flat one!! Well, imagine my joy to discover after the first couple of km’s I had “Bob’s hill” only for about 2km!! 😀 Totally made my day!! I love the hills!!!
      The low hanging mist I mentioned.. mmm .. it suddenly went freezing once I was down the other side and had to walk through it.. all good and part of what turned out to be a really enjoyable stage with a bit of everything.. though I apologise if my pictures are all a bit “cloudy “ again 😬.. but seriously, the clouds ARE amazing!!
      Met the gorgeous Chloe on route again today.. I think the two ladies ( sisters ) from Vancouver must be with the same company as me, as we seem to be staying in more or less the same places .. we both love it when dinner is before 8.. imagine our giddiness to discover it was from 6.30 this evening!!!
      On my arrival here today, I was a bit too early to check in, so obviously it was an opportunity to go for a beer ( lemon 2% I might add!!! )
      Anyway, a guy that I didn’t realise I passed every day said to me when he walked in “ you drink beer and still walk straight past me!! I’m not too sure why I apologised, but I did 😬..
      Shower and Nana nap later, i went for a wander round and to check my way back to the route for the morning, it was by then seriously hot and required another ( 2%, for those thinking I may be developing a drink problem ) beer 😳😂🍻
      The meal tonight was really good, they let me have both bits off the first section which was great and what I wish I could do more often..
      Another day in the bag and I’m still ok, do all good 😊…      Read more

      Castrojeriz to Fromista

      September 15, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 57 °F

      The Meseta provided a good day on the Camino. Not sure why people pass it up. As I was drawn back into the “real world” this evening by events, I’m reminded how life often feels like there’s too much going on. A symptom of our modern complicated lives? The Camino has a way of simplifying and clarifying the necessities: Air, Water, Food, Shelter, Hospitality, Companionship… I’ll leave it at that for today.Read more
