      Sivil - Tag der Entspannung & Reflexion

      May 17, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

      So heute mal ganz nach dem Motto "Tag der Entspannung und Reflexion.

      Nach dem Reiseführer bin ich am Tag 27 - 28. Zieh ich meine zwei Tage Anreise ab, bin ich also seit dem Start in Saint Jean Pied de Port an Tag 23, sprich ich bin 4,5 Tage im Voraus.

      Um 06:40 bin ich heute früh in Samos losgestöckelt und der Weg führte hauptsächlich durch Wald. Hoch und runter, dann wieder weite Felder und Wiesen,dann wieder Wald. Irgendwie war heute der Zauber inne, denn es fühlte sich heute an wie in einem Märchenwald, voller skurriler Baum- und Buschgewächse, die aussahen wie Märchenfiguren. Es muss sie wohl doch geben, die Welt der Elfen, Fabelwesen und Naturgeister. Nun wie auch immer war ich voll verzaubert und hingerissen. Nach lediglich 8,1 km und es war gerade erst kurz nach halb neun, kam die erste Kaffeequelle und der Ort der vielen Möglichkeiten.

      Zunächst ein Kaffee, dann die Frage an den Mann ob hier auch übernachten möglich ist, dann Kaffee zwei mit selbstgebackenen lecker Kuchen für umsonst, dann die Frage an den Mann wieviel für eine Übernachtung? 40€! 😱. Danke zu viel für die Kasse. Angezogen, losgegangen, überleg 🤔, zurück und Frage an den Mann : 40€ oder 14€? Leider 40€.. 😭😭😭 Losgegangen und Frau und Mann : holla chicco alemagne:holla......

      Wieder zurück. Ok du kannst für 25€ bleiben

      Ich 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 Juhuuuuuuuuu + ok!!!! 👍🏻

      Und so bin ich seit halb neun hier und siehe Fotos und Eindrücke 😍😍😍😍

      Um 14 Uhr gibt es was zu essen..... Hausfrau /-Manns Kost. Der Mann (Enrico) sagt : manchmal schmeckt, manchmal schmeckt nicht 😳🤔😂😂

      Und das Beste!!! Ein Bett.... Ein so richtiges, normales, kuscheliges, gemütliches Bett 😍😍😍

      Fühl mich hier wie im Märchenland und drinnen wie im Palast 😬😊

      Und ständig entdeckt man neue verspielte, kreative und liebevolle Ecken.

      Später mehr. Muss mich jetzt erst mal noch ein wenig umschauen hier und Gedanken sortieren denn bald kommt Santiago in ca 110 km und es macht sich so langsam Wehmut breit, ist die Reise und deren Ende langsam absehbar und Santiago de Compostela der nächste wichtige Ort für mich nach dem Cruz de Ferro, und im inneren bin ich da noch weit aus mehr als 110 km entfernt 😢.

      Aber es gibt ja noch das kleine Anhängsel an die Reise ans Ende der Welt und dem Meer.

      Mir graut es schon jetzt so langsam vor Berlin.

      Was ist Realität? Das vorher? Das jetzt?

      Eins weiß ich jedoch. Der Camino wird fürs erste das Ende in Berlin sein, wenn ich dort wieder ein Foto im Spiegel schieße wie am Tag des Aufbruchs. Vorher gibt es noch Santiago de Compostela, Finesterre und das Meer, Wiedersehen in der Heimat mit Familie, sabi 🐈 und sandy 🐈, Freunden. Also noch ein paar schöne Tage vor Berlin.

      Muss nachdenken

      Und noch ein paar lustige Fotos hinzugefügt

      Sag doch heute ist Märchentag 😂😂😂😂      Read more

      Day 15

      Less than 100km left

      April 23 in Spain ⋅ 🌙 36 °F

      Our stay in Sarria was bitter sweet. This city is a transition point between those that have been on the trail and those that walk only the last 100km. The "new" people are out for a week, look fresh, and are missing the layer of dust and faded clothing that give the rest of us our "trail cred." After our two hour walk and breakfast break, we passed a group of newly started Americans who said, "Look at those two go!" 😀 Each of us is on the Camino for a reason, and each of our journeys are unique. Today we booked our final accommodations for the rest of the trip. The energy of the trail has changed but our Camino journey will continue.Read more

      Sarria to Portomarin - part one

      April 24 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 2 °C

      Martina is going to be absolutely fine, and could actually host a training session I'd push to be mandatory for half the people I've been with for a month. Her alarm was silent, she took everything into the kitchen to pack up with no fuss, and she has a small backpack. A+ my darling.

      She's nestled sliiiiiightly under my wing, she checked I was going to have breakfast at the hostel before she committed to it ("ok I will too", with a nervous smile), and I could see she was a bit hesitant about setting off so I pushed her out of the nest with a firm Buen Camino (BC) and assurances we'd see each other later. This only *might* be true but it's what she needed to hear at the time.

      Harbouring a slight sense of foreboding about this turning into a theme park, some sort of conveyor belt Camino, I headed out of Sarria. There are so many people compared to what I'm used to. None of these new fucks are saying BC which really irks me but in the spirit of it all I'm being VERY laid back about them breaking the rules I've invented.

      Other ways in which I am right and they are wrong include (all of them but specifically) walking on the LEFT side on the road and the RIGHT on the trail, letting people pass, stopping at the second or later bar in a town not always the first, taking your pack off before going in, looking for a sign inside that says aesos not baño (it's never baño) talking at normal human volumes, and greeting the locals.

      I've been thinking about what parts of this experience I can carry forward into day to day life, where I might not have a spare five to eight hours a day to go walking. A big source of enjoyment here - and one I knew I'd appreciate before I even started - is the simplicity, the reduced number of decisions I need to make each day. For example in the morning I put on my one outfit, use the bare minimum toiletries, pack up my small bag, walk outside and look for an arrow.

      I reckon if I start picking my outfits the night before and set up a better drop zone, I can achieve this efficiently at home, and maybe get a few kilometres walk in before work, go the long way? My body clock would currently give me tons of time, let's see if it resets once I'm out of bunk beds before we get ahead of ourselves though.      Read more

      Triacastela to Sarria

      May 30, 2022 in Spain ⋅ 🌧 17 °C

      I had a great night’s sleep - everyone was happy to have the window open and what a difference it makes to have fresh air in a crowded dormitory! The bar opened early so I was able to have breakfast before starting. This really helps because ibuprofen is keeping me going and you can’t have it on an empty stomach. Unfortunately it wears off after about 4 hours and it’s too soon for the next dose. So the last bit starts to become painful again, but manageable.

      It was a very long climb out of Triacastela and a very steep descent towards Sarria. But today was one of the prettiest walks so far. It was like walking through a rainforest, lots of shade and mossy banks. Really beautiful. We also went through lots of tiny villages where the people have dairy farms. There weren’t any services for about 7 kms until a vending machine suddenly appeared in a very unlikely place. A Coke and a packet of chips has become a regular snack. And then around the next bend was a donativo stall with fresh hard boiled eggs and fruit. You never know what to expect. We were very lucky with the weather as the roads in Sarria were very wet but we had only the slightest drizzle. I have a private room tonight so will have an early night as tomorrow will be another hilly day.

      Tag 36 von Triacastela nach Sarria

      June 6, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

      Der heutige Tag begann mit der Entscheidung neue Rute des Jakobsweges oder alte.
      Ich habe mich dann für die alte Rute entschieden was im Nachhinein perfekt für mich war.
      Es war zwar der schwierigere Weg.
      Aber genau den sollte ich wohl gehen.
      Nach etwa einer Stunde kam ich an einer kleinen Kapelle vorbei.
      In der ein Man versuchte ein Surfbrett an die Decke zu hängen.
      Ich half ihm natürlich und zu zweit schafften wir es auch.
      Wie sich später erzählte war er aus England und war 2005 den Camino gegangen.
      Als er wieder zuhause war entschied er sich alles aufzugeben und auf dem Camino zu leben.
      Er lebt davon Bilder zu malen und andere Gegenstände zu bemalen.
      So wie den Pilgern gegen eine Spende einen einzigartigen Stempel zu malen.
      Für mich gab es den Stempel gratis und im Anschluss Beteten wir noch gemeinsam.
      Diese Momente sind einfach unbezahlbar.
      Der sonstige Weg war wieder anstrengend aber wunderschön.
      Ich genieße jeden Tag auf diesem außergewöhnlichen Weg.
      Heute abend ist um 19 Uhr Pilger Messe was ich mir natürlich nicht entgehen lasse.      Read more

      Winding down

      June 19, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 50 °F

      To backtrack somewhat
      I was able to get a photo of me and that little cow calf so you can go back to yesterday and see at least that...the video still lost though

      Lazy day today. Only 10km - Barbadello to Ferreiros. A little hilly hike with intermittent ups and downs.
      The rain of course did put a damper on the day (pun intended) and it went from one extreme to another: I believe Temps never got out of the 50s

      It may prove to be a rainy week as the prognosis are for rain almost every day....

      Samos

      August 11, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

      Samos is a double edged sword for me. On one hand, it’s a good stop after 20kms downhill that tends to tax my legs more than any incline and it is home to one of the oldest monasteries (and important Camino monastery at that) in Europe.

      On the other hand it’s deader than Kurt Cobain. The only restaurant in town opens at 8:30pm, there is little to no shady rest anywhere, and the populace is very rural agrarian, meaning few bars.

      At least there’s a supermarket, so bread and cheese are an option. But it’s not ideal, which is why most pilgrims take the shorter route over San Xil to Sarria on this leg.

      I wanted to see the monastery and so I am here, sweaty, hot, hungry, and bored. Thank Zuck for the Internet.      Read more

      Rest Day in Samos

      October 15, 2023 in Spain ⋅ 🌧 61 °F

      Had a wonderful day off, toured a monastery, as you can see in the images. We are starting our home stretch tomorrow (means no more rest days) with an 11-mile walk. We will finish our Camino next Sunday (the 22nd).Read more

      Rest day in Samos

      October 15, 2023 in Spain ⋅ 🌧 61 °F

      This was our last rest day until we reach Santiago in seven days. We had a nice breakfast with the Italians and a couple from Texas. We ended up speaking a new language called Spanglishian.

      We toured the monastery which was pretty darn big. I think the monk said it's 14,000 square meters and it was built in the 6th century. They rent rooms to pilgrims but I don't think staying in a monastery is for us.

      We had a long, leisurely lunch because we really don't have anything else to do. After lunch we walked over to a chapel that is next to the oldest cypress tree in Spain which is believed to be 1000 years old!      Read more

      Day 37-Samos

      October 14, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 68 °F

      We were able to sleep in a bit today since we only had 6.5 miles to walk. It was a nice surprise to see so many people we knew at breakfast since I thought they would have left much earlier.

      The weather was mild and no rain was forecast. The trail went up and down but nothing too steep. Since we weren't in a rush, we stopped midway for a coffee...and sorbet. We walked through a few sleepy towns loaded with chestnut and walnut trees.

      Today's calamity is brought to you by my curiosity and obsession with food. I kept seeing these big bunches of herb-looking plants growing wild everywhere. When I think a plant is an herb, I rub a leaf to smell it to determine what it is. When I rubbed the leaf, I noticed it was fuzzy and then I felt a really painful, prickly, burning sensation in my fingers. I thought I had a dozen splinters in my fingers but Pat said it was probably stinging nettles. I did an image search and, sure enough, that's what it was. It will take a few hours for the pain to completely dissipate. I wonder what mess I'll get into tomorrow.

      As we entered Samos we were greeted with a beautiful view of the 1500 year old monastery. We'll tour it tomorrow on our day off.

      When we checked in to our place, we met an Italian couple. It was fun practicing my rudimentary Italian and I was able to have a 15 minute conversation with them before running out of words.      Read more
