Foncebadon to Ponferrada
25 Mei 2022, Sepanyol ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
I caught a taxi this morning for the 22 km drive to Ponferrada (It was 27 km on the Camino). As we came up and down and down the mountains I realised that I had made the right decision - I couldn’t have walked it, especially with the very rocky paths.

But the views were spectacular and it would have been a great walk under different circumstances.

The upside was that I was able to spend time visiting the Templars Castle and wandering through the local street markets which were on today.

Tag 32 Ponferrada Die Templer Rufen
2 Jun 2022, Sepanyol ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
Der heutige Tag stand im Zeichen der Templer und der Entspannung.
Heute ging ein kleiner Traum von mir in Erfüllung.
Ich besuchte die Templer Burg in Ponferrada. Ein wirkliches Juwel.
Das Wetter wollte erst nicht so richtig.
Besann sich aber noch eines Besseren.
Sonst war heute Entspannung auf dem Programm was auch mal nötig war.
Die nächsten Etappen werden wieder ziemlich ehrgeizig aber das schaffe ich.
Jetzt bin ich soweit gekommen.
Natürlich bin ich auch stolz es bis jetzt soweit geschafft zu haben.Baca lagi

Day 5: Foncebadon to Ponferrada
10 April, Sepanyol ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
What a long day!
Last night we stayed in a bunk house Albergue. It had 7 bunks. So 14 people in this room. I had no idea how I was going to sleep because lights out was at 10 pm. I slept all night! That is not something I am used to. Before we went to bed people were talking about getting up early to watch the sunrise.
6:30 am people got up and moving. We were on the road by 7:30 am. We didn’t stop walking until 4:30 pm. (We did stop at a few bars for food but other than that we were walking. )
It was a long day! My second longest walk ever and Patrick’s longest. 16.5 miles! (The picture of the map shows how far we walked.)
It was a great day! Weather was perfect. At one point I was walking in shorts and a t shirt. Sunrise was special. Trail today was HARD but so much fun. We had a great mix of walking with ourselves and walking with others. The scenery was beautiful! Mountains everywhere you looked.
Today was a lot of downhill. I felt like my knees were having seizures. lol.
There was a lot of downhill with big rocks. Had to cross water a lot. Stepped in mud a lot. All kinds of challenges but what fun!
Total walked 18 miles. (You have to walk to dinner/store or wherever you go. We are both exhausted!Baca lagi

Pengembara Today we also walked to the highest part of the Camino. There is a cross where you can leave a stone to represent your worries. Supposed to leave your worries behind. (Cruz de Ferro).

Around Ponferrada
13 April, Sepanyol ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
I spent today walking around Ponferrada and taking a few pics. It is such an interesting place with many photo opportunities.

I dropped by the Hostel that I will be volunteering at and introduced myself. i met Anna who is very experienced and returns each year from Italy to help. No other Hospitalaros have come yet maybe tomorrow.

I took a picture of 2 elderly gents who were looking for a bench. My competition!!!
It was very hot and all benches fill very quickly.Baca lagi

San Nicolas Albergue Day 1
14 April, Sepanyol ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
So, my first day working. We had about 36 pilgrims. This is the perfect job for someone who is interested in statistics for sure!!

The routine is to open the locked door and gate by 5:30 and be available to help the pilgrims with anything that may come up. They leave by 8 am.

Next we strip the beds of any paper sheets that were used and empty the garbage.

We wash down each mattress with disinfectant. There are 2 bunk beds per room with a few larger rooms that have 3.

We sweep and mop the floors.

I really enjoy this as I can listen to my music and podcasts etc..

We then have a break until we open at 1 pm.

The first shift is 1-4 pm, and the other is 4 pm to 7 pm although Pilgrims will arrive up until we lock the doors at 10:30 pm

We register each Pilgrim in a book including their Passport or DIN number , name, walking or cycling, where they started their Camino, and where the stayed the night before. We then assign a bed for them and needless to say most want the lower (baja) one and not the top ( arriba).🥴 We do the best we can.

We do offer a woman's and a men's wing which I think is great😉

So far so good🤞🙏🍀
I am working with Jolguin (He reminds me of Opa ( Kurt's Dad)

Isobel is from Montreal. Gilberto and Jolguin are both from Espana. Gilberto speaks only Spanish . Jolguin is learning English with Duolingo 😉 He also speaks some French and Italian but Spanish is his native language.Baca lagi

Last day at San Nicolas Albergue
30 April, Sepanyol ⋅ ⛅ 6 °C
Today is the last day of doing everything I have done daily for the past 16 days!!!

My partner (who I called " OPA") announced he was leaving early at 11 am. It is his daughter's birthday.

The new group of 4 Hospitalaros arrive sometime today. Two are a couple from Italy and the other two unknown🧐 All I know is that Isobel and I are on the early shift 1-4 pm and then I pack 😅

My bus leaves at 5:15 am to Fatima Portugal tomorrow morning. I will walk 2.5 km at 4:15 to the bus station. I cannot wait!!!!!!!!

I have included pictures of a couple who have walked with their old dog of 13 years from Treport France They have walked 2000 km this far. They began Jan 1!!!! Unfortunately it is not a great picture of the dog. They have tented the whole way. Simply Amazing😉

I also have a picture of a delightful elderly Japanese man who knows no English. We helped him extensively with luggage transfer, finding a grocery store , and showing him which way to find the Camino in the morning.💖💖💖

Other pictures are from my walks around Ponferrada. The park is so beautiful and many do the circuit walk around it ( 1 km,)

The mountains are beautiful in the distance ....sort of like Calgary and the Rockies😉

My poles that I bought here and cannot take home were given to a Pilgrim in need this morning🌞🤗 That's brings me so much Joy 💖

We are averaging 55 pilgrims each day I am so thankful that the numbers have stayed manageable. I know it won't be long before it will be full (140) every single night!!!

Good Luck to the next group!!
💪💪💪💪🍀🍀🍀🍀🙏🙏🙏🙏Baca lagi

Ponferrada

Heute Nacht habe ich dann lieber im Aufenthaltsraum geschlafen als im bezahlten Bett. So was von laut wurde geschnarcht 😳

Aber zum Glück hatte ich es dann früh nicht weit zum Kaffeeautomaten 😂😂

Ponferrada war auch sehr angenehm und ich musste quer durch die Stadt um den nächsten Geldautomaten zu finden, hab somit aber mehr von der Stadt gesehen als die anderen Pilger ätsch 🤭🤭🤭🤭

Nach der Stadt ging es heute wieder viel bergauf nach all dem gestrigen bergab 🤔und ab elf Regen Regen Regen.

Aber Natur war heute wieder wirklich wunderbar und abwechslungsreich.Baca lagi

Von el acebo nach ponferada
1 Jun 2022, Sepanyol ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
Hola oder Hello, dass sind die häufigsten Begrüßungen auf dem camino, Englisch ist die Sprache, welche überwiegend gesprochen wird, wenn man den camino geht. Ob Asiaten, US Amerikaner, Kanadier, Skandinavier usw. usw. Verstehen oder sprechen Englisch aber auch mit etwas Spanisch, kann man so einiges erreichen, vor allem, weil ein gracias, buenos dias bei den Einheimischen sehr gut ankommt. Der Start von el acebo nach ponferada, wurde erstmal von einem kräftigen Regenguss eingeleutet, der zwar heftig aber nicht von Dauer war. Von nun an ging es bergab und zwar von ca. 1140 hm auf round abount 500 hm. Phasenweise waren diese Abstiege exorbitant gefährlich, wie am Vortag aber landschaftlich traumhaft schön. Letztendlich wurde auch diese Herausforderung gemeistert. Das Wetter war sehr wechselhaft und man musste so einige Male den Regenumhang überziehen um nicht wie ein begossener Pudel zu enden. In Ponferada wurde man von einem weiteren Regenguss begrüsst und wieder musste das Regencape herhalten aber vor allem die Suche nach der Unterkunft gestaltete sich etwas schwierig, weil diese im Stadtzentrum und etwas Abseits vom camino lag. Fazit des tages: Es ist nichts unmöglich auf dem camino. Hasta mañanaBaca lagi

Einen Tag Pause in ponferada.
2 Jun 2022, Sepanyol ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
Hallöchen, heute mal einen Tag Pause in ponferada gemacht und einige Sehenswürdigkeiten angeschaut. Das imposanteste war wohl die alte Templerburg ( siehe Fotos). Ansonsten einfach mal die geschundenen Fahrwerke hochgelegt. Morgen geht es 24km nach villafranca del bierzo. Erkenntnis des Tages: Ball flach halten und hoch gewinnen. Hasta prontoBaca lagi

The Mystery of Water
29 Mei 2022, Sepanyol ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F
Walking through any small town,village, or hamlet you will see these bottles filled with water. Apparently, natives believe it will turn away unwanted pests. I have seen similar things with ziploc baggies of water stapled to the wall of a café to keep flies out in the US Southwest. The belief works like this: a dog, or cat, will pee on the bottle which keeps from eroding the adobe or plaster.
Most likely it’s more like this:
Typically the way this works is a homeowner leaves the bottle out front. A cat comes along and rubs its face all over the bottle. A dog smells the cat has been there and pees on the bottle to mark it. A swarm of flies is attracted to the dog pee. And then along comes a pilgrim, “Hey! Free water!”Baca lagi
