      Another easy walk

      April 23, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

      We are now at Navarrete after an easy 13 km walk. This is a lovely little town on a hill surrounded with vineyards and the rich red Rioja soil. We walked quite slowly so as not to be too early, arrived at about 12.30, stopped for coffee and also for fresh OJ before checking in and room ready, bags here, and we have settled in!

      It was a perfect temperature for walking, coolish and quite a lot of cloud cover. It actually feels cold now, and I am wearing a fleece that I thought would never be worn again once we left the Pyrenees…weather app says 19° but it is wrong! It has now become a little drizzly, but doesn’t matter, and tomorrow should be dry and still cooler for our 17 km walk to Nájera. We walked out through the outer suburbs of Logroño- you realise it’s quite a bit city and not just the historical centre - and through a big park and bird sanctuary…very pleasant. And also passed the big bull structure high on a hill that is equivalent maybe to our big banana …. you can see it for miles in all directions…anyway, a very good and easy walk…our hotel has a pilgrim menu for dinner so all is well.

      Navarrete

      September 15, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 75 °F

      I started out the day taking a taxi to a sportswear store because I discovered last night that I had forgotten my second pair of pants at the last albergue. Geeze Amanda, get it together! At least the store was only 2 blocks from the trail.
      It was a 7 mile day. My knee is still hurting pretty bad. I've booked my night tomorrow so I'm going to send my bag ahead in the morning. That should give me a little easier time for tomorrow's 10 miles.
      I saw a guy hand feeding squirrels today. Quite the sight to see.
      The ruins are from an old hospital and church that served ancient pilgrims. It was at the entrance to Navarrete.      Read more

      Day 10 Longrono to Navarrete

      September 30, 2023 in Spain ⋅ 🌙 66 °F

      We got a later start, so we decided not to go as far. We walked through more vineyards and saw grapes being transported to wineries. There was also a nice shady walk along a reservoir where we came upon the double decker bus cafe again.
      We passed the archeological remains of a pilgrims hospital.
      We had a 360 view from the park in Naverrete. The city was alive with celebration....a special mass, church bells, music and fireworks well past midnight!      Read more

      la rioja

      October 19, 2019 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

      die pilger haben uns heute morgen geweckt. so sind auch wir früh gestartet. die stimmung war phantastisch.... wir hatten beschlossen, nicht dem pilgerweg zu folgen, sondern dem gps. im ersten teil hat uns das gps auf eine unglaublich wunderschöne route durch das bekannte rioja-gebiet beschert. der zweite teil bis nach logrono war etwas "schneller". wir landeten mal wieder auf einer schnellstrasse. die autofahrer haben aber extrem rücksicht genommen. hier in spanien sind die leute extrem hilfsbereit, zuvorkommend und kontaktfreudig. was wir alles schon an positiven erlebnissen hatten, war unblaublich. in logronos haben wir noch bremsbeläge für das vorderrad für nik gekauft und hatten eine tolle unterhaltung. der besitzer des fahrradladens hatte eine alte autogrammkarte aufgehängt von miguel indurain. nik fragte ihn dann, ob er ueli sutter kennt; ebenfalls ehemaliger radrennprofi. und siehe da: er kannte ihn. wir nahmen dann gemäss gps eine angebliche abkürzung; welche etwas sportlich wurde. zuerst durch wunderschöne olivenhaine, rebberge und sogar quittenbäume und dann das nichts. alle kinder mussten die carla von hinten schieben und nik und corinne vorne ziehen; alles natürlich von hand. wir haben es geschafft und der lohn war, dass wir uns frische trauben geklaut haben. da wir ja keine unterkunft gefunden hatten, haben wir uns die option des camping-platzes offen gelassen. der camping war wirklich noch offen und wir geniessen nun wieder einmal das camping-leben. nik musste noch einkaufen und den offiziellen stempel des camino di santiago abholen. da gibt es eigentlich mehrere möglichkeiten: touristenbüro, kirche oder hostal. touristenbüro war geschlossen und im hostal wollten sie uns ja nicht. deshalb beschlosse nik, in die kirche zugehen. es war eine wunderschöne goldene kirche und die begegnung resp. die stimmung in der kirche war unglaublich einladend für eine meditation von 30 minuten. der wetterbericht meldet für morgen eigentlich regen; obwohl es momentan noch nicht danach aussieht. wir nehmen die tage, wie sie kommen und entscheiden spontan. es ist einfach zu schön.Read more

      Getting into the rhythm

      September 2, 2019 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

      It has been a few days since I last posted an update and now I feel we are finding our camino rhythm. Get up,grab a coffee, walk,then stop for brekkie usually a potato frittata another coffee, walk some more. Eventually we reach albergue/hostal. Then first job is a shower 🛀and to wash our clothess then a Náp or rest. Then we go in search of food.🍕 .Bars And cafés offer pilgrim meals around 9-16 euros which are 3 course meals with Bread water wine. Often they can tend to be a very carby offering. They differ in quality and amount. sometimes we buy food and cook ourselves and sometimes we get a pilgrim meal.. Tonight we made egg bacon🍳(for mo)omelette(for mark)and chips.we are in santa domingo de la calzada staying in a cisteine monastery,not the cistine chapel as I first said!
      Luxury tonight as we have our own room for the princely sum of 10 euros. It was 7 for a bunk in the dorm. Its basic but at least we have it to ourselves and no one can hear us snore!💤
      We walked 15 klms to get here it was a beautiful mild day. In fact its a bit cool tonight. The landscape is fields and vineyards with mountains⛰ in the distance.blackberries, fennel,pink thistles and sweet peas Line the path. Today we had a few hills to climb but we are better at those now. Im still slower than others but i dont care,i put some music on my phone put my ear buds in and bop down the road. Im singing away and enjoying it so much. Sometimes i even dance if the song takes me.
      Today we had a discussion about happiness as we walked and what we think it is. A nice little bit of thoughtful introspection.🧠
      Since i last wrote we sampled the delights of tapas in Logroño. Theres a whole street of tapas only bars,each competing to deliver ( i didnt see any liver though,bum bum!)the tastiest morsels. So many yummy things.we got a mushroom fritters,cow cheese with berries and i had pork slice also. It was a buzzing place with familes out on friday Night. Back in our hostal we could hear the partying carrying on till the next morning, only at 6 ish did it cease. Just in time for me to catch an hours kip before we set off for Navarrete. 😪
      The path out of Logroño was through a lovely green expanse of recreation grounds so it was a walk in the park really.😂      Read more

      23. Etappe: Santo Domingo (38 km 🙈)

      November 19, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 6 °C

      Huj, war das ein langer Tag!
      Ich wusste, dass es heute wohl nix zwischen 16 und 38 km gibt und ich mich trotz schmerzenden Blasen am Ende des Tages wohl für die 36 entscheiden werde - also bin ich schon um 7 aufgestanden, hab mir das Müsli-Beutelchen, das ich beim vom Halbmarathon in Den Haag bekommen und bis jetzt mitgeschleppt hab, über meinen Kokos-Joghurt geschüttet und noch ne Banane dazu geschnibbelt - also ganz viel gute Energie für den Start 💪- und los gings (trotzdem wieder erst kurz vor halb 9, wie immer 😅).
      Heut musste ich mich erst mal warm laufen - 5 Grad, Wind und Regen von vorn, das verlangte mir schon einiges ab und die Blasen schmerzten vom ersten Meter an, so dass mein Etappenziel schon früh ins Wanken geriet. Jedoch gewöhnte ich mich schnell an die Umstände und wurde nicht so Recht warm mit Najera, so dass ich weiterzog. Außerdem gab mir Pierre, der ja ein paar Kilometer vor mir ist, die Info, dass es auch schon nach 32 km eine offene Herberge gibt - jedoch in weniger schöner Umgebung, wie er meinte. Ich musste ihm zustimmen und so entschloss ich mich dann dazu die letzten 6 km auch noch durchzuziehen. Kurz nach 5 war ich in meiner Unterkunft, der kirchlichen Herberge Cofradia del Santo. Dort erwateten mich schon jede Menge neue freundliche Pilger-Gesichter. Auch ein junger Deutscher ist dabei, der mir direkt was von seinem Essen abgibt (nie mit leerem Magen einkaufen gehen! 😉). Und ich lerne von ihm, dass man Kartoffeln auch in der Mikrowelle kochen kann. Die ist nämlich das einzige Kochgerät hier. Ein Italiener "brät" sich darin sogar ein Omelette. Wow! Ich hab die Dinger echt unterschätzt 😂
      Ich werd heut wahrscheinlich ratzefatze einschlafen so kaputt wie ich bin. Für morgen nehm ich mir dann vor, ne kleinere Etappe zu machen und nicht einem französischem Pilger zu folgen, der morgen 2 Etappen zusammenlegen und gleich 45 km am Stück laufen will 😉      Read more

      Day 13 - Logroño to Navarrete - 13km

      September 11, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

      Today is the day. I am in Navarrete and I have decided last minute to stay in the same hotel as Jörg and I did 14 years ago.

      I was full of energy this morning and ready to tackle any hike, and it turns out that the walk today was quite easy, mostly paved pathway. It was also cloudy and a little wet from overnight thunderstorms, so the heat wasn’t a factor either. All perfect to arrive in this perfect place.

      Can I take this opportunity though to rant about a pet peeve I have. I usually like to break every 4-5 kms - after 8-10 kms I like to take off my boots for a bit. It helps ease the muscles and rest the feet and gives me strength to keep going. Invariably, almost every time, someone asks me “are you ok?” I don’t think I look that worn out or sore. Today someone asked me when I was sitting on a bench, eating an apple, after only 5kms. I know I didn’t look worn out for sure this time as I just started and it was an easy part. My pet peeve is I am sure that they wouldn’t ask a man sitting alone or a young athletic woman. It isn’t only men who ask, women ask as well. And really, has anyone ever answered “no, can you help me?”. I would understand if they just saw me fall or something, but just sitting and taking a break on the trail, it is a little too much. Ok, rant over.

      I am sitting waiting for my laundry to be done. They wash clothes here, but don’t dry, so I am waiting to get them so I can hang them out on my private balcony to dry. Then I am going to wander around town. Jörg and I didn’t see much of the town as we arrived late in the afternoon so by the time we showered and had dinner, it was dark.

      It turns out the hotel hung my clothes for me in their laundry room so I went out and had a pilgrims meal early. The usual time is around 7pm but then it is so much food just before bed. I then went in the church in the town and lit a candle for Jörg. My last stop was to the Pharmacy. I have pimples again (at age 55, they are never ending), plus I have a few small blisters so I wanted to ask the best way to treat them (so many different views on this subject). Basically, I keep doing what I am doing, but got more supplies.

      I am in for the night. I have decided to treat myself and ship my bag for tomorrow. I am doing a 20km day and they said rain so why not. So many people do it now. It will be a big help for me tomorrow.

      Throwback to 2009 from Julie’s Journal

      Right now I am in a hotel room (1 star mind you) in Navarette. When the day started, it was our plan to go to Logroño which was 20km. The morning started as usual with pain. I had woken up every couple hours and at 4am I decided to take an Aleve.

      We wanted to stay in Lograno but when we went into several hotels they took one look at us and my bed bug bites and said they were full. Rather than try and find a hostel in town we decided to just keep walking. Navarrete was 12kms more.

      When we arrived in the town, Joerg turned to me with arms open wide waiting for a hug. After we hugged, he took my hand and held it for a good minute. At one point, I could see he was a little shy so he started to swing the hand he was holding. Once we got into town, it was like a big family reunion. So many people we had met along the way were here.

      I still wanted a hotel room and we saw a one star place and I decided to let Joerg take a look. It was good and only 25E. They are actually doing my laundry right now for 5E. After we checked into the hotel and we were sitting on the edge of the bed, I told him it wasn’t the hotel I originally wanted, but it was nice and I leaned over and kissed his cheek.

      Throwback to the next morning in Navarrete

      Well, today my life has changed forever. I woke up at 7:10am and it was nice not to hear people packing bags and not having to pack my bag by flashlight. Joerg woke up too and we both said “one more hour” and he kissed me. When we awoke again, we just lied in bed and relaxed. It was only a kiss, but I know it was a big step for Joerg. It moves our relationship from friends to something more.      Read more

      Lyn and I have been through the most incredible thunderstorm we have ever had, thunder, ⛈️ lightning 🌩 hail. The lightning was red in colour. The rain fell in torrents, thank goodness we managed to get our ponchos on before it hit us. We did turn back for a while, then realised it was moving away from where we were heading.
      We managed to get to Ventosa, where we caught a taxis to Njaera and then walked in the rain to Azfroa, where we will stay the night.      Read more
