      Day 32

      O Cebreiro to Lusio 28.9 km

      April 9 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

      So it snowed more overnight. Christianne was nervous walking by herself and wanted to walk with me again. We headed out with our headlamps. It was a winter wonderland. I loved every step. Christianne is a "Drama Queen" and was exclaiming loudly when faced with a hill.

      As we reached another summit it ended with a bar being open!
      I ate a huge piece of tortilla Patata. I saved the rest and the huge slice of bread for later. I am so glad that I did in hindsight.

      We parted ways as Christianne is always wanting to be on the go.....me not so much and wanted to take a break to take off excess clothing.

      I arrived in Triacastela. Very touristy town. I went into the Supermercado and was told to leave my pack outside. I understand that however the woman was not friendly at all.

      It was just 12:30 and I didn't have a good feel for the town to spend the night and decided to continue on.
      It was a beautiful path by the river.      Read more

      The final chapter begins

      April 22 in Spain ⋅ 🌙 41 °F

      We began the day with a very cool walk along the highway in the dark and into a wonderful valley of farms and villages. Sadly, it seemed that each village was a remembrance of the past. Most buildings were for sale or abandoned. Mid morning, we reached Samos, and it's monestary from 700 AD. During our walk into Sarria, we joined a recent college grad from Florida and a Spanish grandfather who has walked many of the Caminos (more than 20 times). The vibe in Sarria was different as this is the jumping off point for those that want to complete the last 100k to Santiago. I miss our travel companions and who to meet others during our final week.Read more

      Day 43

      Moins de 150 km !

      May 31, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

      Chemin de Compostelle 34/40
      Étape #. 27. Camino francés « Hospital à Samos ». Kilomètres parcourus 26,5 km. Cumulatif : 883,2 km, moyenne 25,9 km par jour. Étapes restantes avant Saint-Jacques de Compostelle : 6 et moins de 128 km à fouler.

      Journée particulièrement encourageante puisqu’à 7h45 ce matin nous franchissions la borne indiquant qu’il nous reste 150 km à fouler pour arriver à Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle (Santiago, Espagne). Photo. Un peu avant cette borne nous avons dû gravir quelques montées abruptes (25 %) avant d’amorcer une descente raide atteignant par moment 24 % de dénivellation, jusqu’à 700 mètres pendant 7 km. La descente s’est très bien passée.

      Nous avons emprunté un chemin nettement plus traditionnel. Nous sommes chanceux, pas de pluie une température idéale pour marcher et toujours une petite brise par moment.

      Nous avons donc couché 26 bornes aujourd’hui et il nous reste 128 kilomètres avant d’atteindre Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle (Santiago).
      Nous sommes si près de l’objectif.

      Demain petite journée au bureau et 12 km.

      Buen Camino 🤗      Read more

      Day 32

      Triacastela to Sarria - part one

      April 23 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 5 °C

      Well I had a giant nap yesterday and slept in until 7am today and whaddaya know I had a much nicer day. As much as it's only walking and I'm sleeping much better, I do think it's all starting to stack up now, and I'm potentially more tired than I realise. Without the back pain it'd probably be more manageable.

      We are coming to the end of the short sleeve weather so I hope cooler (moving into wetter) days don't completely unravel me. A silver lining of that however, might be that it makes it easier to manage the ending. If the difference between the Camino and Portugal includes being warm and dry, I'll be more excited about it.

      As well as a nap, yesterday I sorted a bed for today in Sarria in advance - the first time I think I've done that potentially - so considering that and the fact that it's not getting hot today, I can dawdle happily.

      Dawdle happily I did. Top of 17, clear, 25km, bewdy. Perfect long sleeve weather. Barely saw anyone on the way, which suited me fine as I've ricocheted back to fierce independence - you can't hurt me, I'm avoiding you first!

      The Camino always provides, and today I copped three excitingly edible blessings.

      1. I ran into Fabrice and two others about five kilometres in, Fabrice was practically manic cutting up bread and sausage, stuffing it into our hands along with cheese and olives and walnuts. The non-smoking thing is great in theory but I think in practice it's just been replaced by weed and as a result he's eating a lot. I took my picnic to go and told them I'd see them in Samos.

      2. I got to Samos first and was lining up to order a coffee when Fabrice pushed in front of me at the bar. This honestly really gave me the irrits given we'd already had an odd day with each other yesterday, but then he turned around and handed me the coffee he had bought which was very nice. I still think I've got the irrits though.

      3. A pilgrim rest stop at someone's house, always appreciated, always adorable. I had a mandarin and a milk and fruit smoothie juice box thing.

      I also worked out I have *just* enough boxes left in my Credential to fit the minimum required remaining stamps (10) between Sarria and Santiago. This is exceptionally pleasing as I haven't been consciously moderating this but running over only a little bit to start a new one would have really annoyed me - I'd prefer them to all fit on one or to have gone crazy on them and filled two. Muy buen.      Read more

      Day 10

      Lusio

      October 11, 2019 in Spain ⋅ 🌙 10 °C

      Dag ridders en prinsesjes,

      Ik heb toch duidelijk problemen met rekenen hoor. Gisteren zei ik papa nog van we moeten naar dorp X gaan om onze gewoonlijk kilomters te halen. Bleek dan in het dorp Y, waar we nu zitten, al 40 kilomter was (tov o s vertrekpunt) ! Hoe lang was de afstand dan tussen dorp X en Y? (antwoord:15 kilometer). En dat komt dan van een landmeter. De klanten zien me graag komen denk ik.

      In ieder geval was er de afgelopen dag niets bijzonders gebeurd, buiten een roemeense die ons een omweg heeft laten maken. Wel was het heel erg prachtig hoe het uitzicht was op de bergen! Ik voeg hier geen panorama foto's toe want ik weet toch dat iemand zijn blog daar vol van staat. Daarmee dat ik me meer bezig hou met de grootste onozelheid.

      Aangekomen in traicastilla was nog de discussie of we verder zouden gaan of in het stadje blijven. Wat ben ik blij dat we verder zijn gegaan! We hebben va daag nqmdlijk een heel gerenoveerd kasteel voor ons ter berschiking. Hier is geen enkel pelgrim buiten ons twee! Hoe zalig is dat?

      We vieren het daarmee met een lekker slaap (wij zijn toch stoer e). Dat is ook wat ik jullie ga wensen.

      Slaapwel lievekes en tot morgen!      Read more
