      shit happens

      May 31, 2022 in Spain ⋅ 🌧 14 °C

      Nach einem guten Frühstück starten wir recht optimistisch - doch der Weg führt uns heute hauptsächlich auf oder entlang der Straße. Auch das Wetter ist wenig spektakulär- der Sprühregen läßt uns wenigstens nicht schwitzen- aber dann regnet es richtig und wir werden trotzdem nass... Bei den Ortsnamen sind die Spanier wenig einfallsreich- am Ziel angekommen stellen wir fest, das das gebuchte Hotel noch 140 km entfernt ist- Fiesta 😳🤢... Wir finden Ersatz sowie Essen, Wein und Café für 22,-€ und können das beeindruckende Kloster - Gründung 952!- besichtigen.Read more

      Helt rolig, jeg er ikke begyndt at gå.

      September 1, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

      Jeg havde faktisk de værste fordomme om Sobrado, den lille flække uden noget.
      Men mine fordomme blev gjort til skamme. Godt nok må vi overnatte på en P-plads til noget, der nok engang var en fabrik, men nu bliver brugt til tilbud til de unge. Altså hvis her er nogle unge. Igen kan man undre sig over så kæmpe en katedral til en by med 1.758 indbyggere. Tror faktisk hele byens befolkning kan være i katedralen samtidig😂.
      Men hvor er her dog smukt og romantisk❤️. Har allerede tabt mit hjerte til byens gadeliv med små caféer, flot natur og skifer på alle fortove. Tror ikke helt de er klar over hvor dyrt skifer er.
      Sidder på en bænk og bare nyder stilheden. Det eneste jeg kan høre, er lidt høns, lidt køer og katedralens klokker. Livet er bare dejligt.
      På billederne kunne man godt fristes til at tro, at jeg er begyndt at gå Caminoen. Men I kan være helt rolige, jeg skulle ikke bevæge mig meget for at tage disse billeder. Hav en dejlig dag derude🥰

    • Day 29

      Sobrado dos Monxes to Arzua, Spain

      September 29, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 59 °F

      This morning started like any other morning except I am starting to notice many more pilgrims in the mornings. We waited quite awhile to place our coffee/toast order and for it to come. We have been pretty spoiled being on the Norte route where there isn’t a ton of people unlike the Frances route. Now that we have arrived in Arzua, the Frances has now joined the Norte to head into Santiago de Compostela and we are seeing many new faces. We are also seeing people from weeks ago that we lost step with at some point, but some seem to be doing outrageous kilometers per day to wrap it up. One guy I spoke of a couple weeks ago, Dizzy Man, who we met on top of a mountain, we hadn’t seen in what seems like weeks, we ran into again. He walked 50km in one day. That’s crazy. Obviously he got over his dizzy spell!! Others are logging 40km. It’s a lot. Santiago isn’t going anywhere, we will stick to our 20Km days for the next 2 days and arrive on Sunday, October 1. We will go to the “end of the world”, Finisterre, on the 2nd, hike to the lighthouse and watch the last sunset from that beautiful spot. A perfect ending to an amazing, yet challenging journey. We aren’t there yet though. 2 days to do. Today was about 22km and after all the previous nice, cool overcast days, the sun popped out and roasted us today. I just kept thinking that is fine, way better than rain! Nothing really noteworthy on our walk today, most photos come from the special visit to the cathedral in Sobrado. We met up with Meelike for coffee this morning and walked with her all day. She had stomach issues last night at the albergue so she didn’t sleep well and by the end of the day, she was looking pretty bad. We weren’t looking all that great either, but grateful for no stomach issues. The foot did better than it has in the last 3 days. Still have pain, but not the sharp pains that stop me in my tracks. Sort of strange, I expected the pain to continue and get worse the more I kept demanding of it. It is still inflamed and swelling, but I did pretty good, and kept pace with the girls, even a little faster at times, so that gave me hope. Looking forward to the next couple days, and at last, the grand entrance into Plaza Obradoiro.Read more

    • Day 28

      Miraz to Sobrado Dos Monxes, Spain

      September 28, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 75 °F

      Woke up this morning trying to see how the foot/leg felt before deciding if I taxi 10km and walk the rest. I overheard at breakfast from Jürgen (from Port Orchard, Wa!) and the proprietress that the route today was very steep and strenuous. My book said different. I checked my app and Gronze, 2 sources I use, and nothing indicated anything crazy, the only thing intimidating was that it was 16 miles. I was dying after 10 the day before. All sources also said no services along the way, so once I committed, there was no backing out. I ate, took my ibuprofen, tried to tape my foot, layered the toe socks and merino wool socks, and it felt awful and painful. Like someone kicked me in the shin down low. Frustrated, I took the wrap off, socks back on, still painful to the touch. I was about to say forget it because if I was hurting that bad and I hadn’t even started walking. How was 16 miles going to feel? Then I noticed the cuff of the toe sock was hitting right where the most pain was felt. Ok so my toe socks have been the best thing ever. No blisters at all in a month and I attribute it to those silly looking things. They are the best invention ever for hiking. But, they were aggravating it, so off they came and I put the merino alone back on. That felt 50% better. Then my meds and cream kicked in and I was like hey I think I can do this. “Momma” Holly was looking at me with skepticism and didn’t like the idea of me walking today because she knows the pain I’ve been in. She said she wasn’t going to sway me one way or the other, but I knew she would have rather seen me not suffer and take a day off. Once I got the relief I did, I decided I was going for it. Told her I may go slower and may want extra breaks. A gal we met at breakfast from the Netherlands (but originally from Estonia), named Meelike, asked if she could walk with us, we of course said yes, and the morning flew by as we learned more about her and we talked about our lives too. She was an absolute joy. She has wanted to abandon ship for awhile now. I noticed her limping a bit and asked her what her issues were..she said nothing physical, but that she has struggled to not give up. She’s not enjoying it at all. She’s done the Frances and Portuguese routes, but this one is so difficult, plus she’s traveling alone so that may be part of it too. We talked about why we were all doing the Camino, most people have a ‘reason’ and she said she lost her father last August. I told her I too lost my dad last August. She said, “Don’t tell me it was on the 13th.” I replied, “Yes, it was the 13th, the day after my birthday”. We both just starred at each other in disbelief and then hugged with watery eyes. So surreal. Crazy we met and had this connection. Conversation shifted to other things, but I felt a bond to her very quickly. I like her. She’s interesting and very funny. Pretty soon the kilometers were clicking by and like I said, we didn’t anticipate a coffee stop, but happened upon 2. The first was at an albergue and the 2nd was at a chicken farm. Very humble home with chickens everywhere. It was rather nasty, but what the heck, I’m ordering a coffee, not a chicken sandwich. We sat there and giggled at it being the most memorable coffee stop we’ve had! Then we saw Anton (South Africa) and Alan, originally South Africa but I think he lives in New Zealand now. We haven’t seen them since Bilbao (bed bug nightmare night). Didn’t think we’d see them again, they are strong and fit and thought they were surely in Santiago by now. It was great to see them and catch up, funny guys. Probably the last we see of them since Alan catches his flight home Sunday, the day we arrive in Santiago. I creamed up my leg and took more pills and got back on the road. Still feeling pretty good. Not perfect at all, but I felt alright. Then the last 5Km the pain really hit another level. If I walked a certain way it would send sharp deep pain through my leg. I can handle pain, but this made me stop in my tracks and holler a little. I told the girls I was going to take it slow, hang back, and take my time. They’d get up ahead and then wait for me to catch up. But, I made it, and I’m so glad I did it. I’m out of ibuprofen, so luckily I found a pharmacy when we got to town so I could replenish. Holly and I checked into our room, showered, and she went to laundromat. So sweet to take that chore off my plate, once again. While our clothes were doing their thing we went across the street and had dinner. At 5:30!! Didn’t have to wait until 8!! Meelike met us there and after dinner we all went to this very special monastery, met the super funny priest, who let us tour it after it had already closed. We also got one of the most special stamps I have in my book. So happy about that!! It was time to replenish our bags with a few food items for tomorrow and get back to the room. I’m laying backwards on my bed now with my feet elevated up on the wall. It helps a lot with the swelling. It’s the final countdown!! We have 3 days of walking left! Tomorrow is about 14 miles, the next 2 are about 12 miles each day. I’m going to try and do it and then give my body a good 2 days of rest before flying home to my awesome family and friends. I’m getting so excited to be finished. I think Holly wants to keep going!! As much as she adores her family, she has absolutely loved this and I wouldn’t doubt it if she ends up like me, doing multiple Caminos. The Camino has its way of doing that to people. Me, I’m going to say what I always say, it’s my last one. Ciao for now ❤️👣🙏🏻Read more

    • Day 18

      18. Etappe von Baamonde bis Sopredo

      June 4, 2022 in Spain ⋅ 🌧 14 °C

      Motto des Tages: Morgenstund hat Gold im Mund

      06:00 Uhr aufstehen, kurzes Frühstück in der Bar, 07:30 Uhr Abmarsch. Das Wetter ist zur Zeit sehr bewölkt. Mittlerweile haben wir auf der Strecke ein hohes Pilgeraufkommen. Auf Sichtweite sind immer Pelegrinos. Besonders die Frauengruppen sind auf Hörweite nicht zu überhören😂. Um 11:30 Uhr hatten wir unser heutiges Etappenziel erreicht. Also haben wir entschieden, noch einen draufzulegen und erreichten dann heute ziemlich kaputt Sobrado. Über 30 Kilometer mit Steigungen bis zu unserem höchsten Berg von über 700 Metern sind halt kein Pappenstiel. Zwischendurch überquerten wir eine auf 500 Metern sehr schön gelegene felsige Heidelandschaft. Dann aber noch einmal alle Kräfte für den letzten Höhenanstieg dieser Etappe gesammelt, tief durchatmen und pusten, pusten, pusten. Wie immer am Ziel in Sobrado angekommen belohnen wir uns mit unserem Etappenbier. Das Wetter hat sich heute im Laufe des Tages zum positiven mit sonnigen Abschnitten entwickelt,Die Albergue war schnell gefunden, die Waschmaschine bestückt und der Körper gereinigt vom Schweiß des Tages. Danach noch ein paar Kalorien aufgetankt. Unsere süddeutschen Freunde übernachten in einem Zisterzienser Kloster. Einer hat Schrankdienst, der andere muss singen😂😂. Jetzt haben wir noch 60 Kilometer auf dem Tacho.
      Und wieder ein kleiner kultureller Beitrag zum Kloster: Das Kloster Sobrado (Santa María de Sobrado; lat. Monasterium B. M. de Superato) ist ein Zisterzienserkloster der strengeren Observanz (Trappisten) in der Provinz La Coruña in Galicien in Spanien. Es liegt in der Gemeinde Sobrado de los Monjes (Sobrado dos Monxes) rund 9 km östlich von Corredoiras und rund 46 km südöstlich von Betanzos auf 540 m Meereshöhe.
      Das Kloster soll im 10. Jahrhundert von den Benediktinern gegründet worden sein. Zu Beginn des 12. Jahrhunderts war es verlassen. Im Jahr 1142 erfolgte die Wiedergründung als Zisterzienserkloster von der Primarabtei Clairvaux aus. Im 12. und 13. Jahrhundert blühte das Kloster und gründete mit Kloster Valdediós in Asturien eine Tochter; auch Kloster Monfero wurde nach seinem Anschluss an den Zisterzienserorden Sobrado unterstellt. Nach einer Zeit des Niedergangs schloss es sich als erste Abtei in Galicien 1498 der kastilischen Zisterzienserkongregation an. Die monumentale neue Klosterkirche wurde 1708 geweiht. Auch die Mehrzahl der Klostergebäude wurde um diese Zeit neu errichtet. Die Klosteraufhebung der Regierung Mendizábal brachte 1835 das Ende des Klosters, dessen Gebäude verkauft wurden und verfielen. Im Jahr 1954 begann der Wiederaufbau durch die Trappistenmönche von Kloster Viaceli in Cóbreces westlich von Santander, die bereits 1929 Kloster Huerta wiedergegründet hatten und im Jahr 1966 einen Konvent nach Sobrado entsandten.
      Die Zisterzienser der strengeren Observanz, umgangssprachlich auch Trappisten genannt, sind ein Orden in der römisch-katholischen Kirche. Der Orden entstand 1892 durch Teilung des Zisterzienserordens und steht Frauen und Männern offen. Die Schwestern des Ordens bezeichnet man auch als Trappistinnen.
      Die äußere Askese der Trappisten umfasste strenge Schweigeregeln, harte Handarbeit, insbesondere in der Landwirtschaft, und strenge Abstinenzregeln. Dieses harte Leben, dazu auch die hohe Sterblichkeit, waren ein Gegenentwurf zum Luxus der damaligen französischen Oberschicht.
      Also ganz in unserem Sinne!!!!

      Sobrado dos Monxes

      June 15, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C

      Heute Nacht haben wir sowas von gefroren, dass ich gar nicht aufstehen wollte. Um 7 Uhr musste es dann doch sein, unsere Boys aus Alaska waren schon um 6 Uhr dahin, aber wir wussten, heute nur 15 km bis Sobrado, denn dort schlafen wir heute im Kloster aus dem 10.Jh.
      Wir hatten zwar erst nach 10 km unseren ersten Kaffee, aber es ging voll flott dahin.
      In Sobrado trafen wir wieder alle möglichen Bekannten am Plaza. Wir registrierten uns im Kloster, duschten und assen noch schnell unsere Reste v.gestern.
      Bett schnell bezogen und ab in die Gemeinde und auf den Plaza😉mit Tinto de Verano und heut wird dort Abend gegessen. War leider ein Fehler, die waren völlig überfordert, denn es waren sicher 15 Leute dort, nicht auf einmal, aber nach und nach. Tortillas waren nicht gut, aber die Pimientos da Padron schon.
      Es war ein lustiger Abend mit Jens und Barbara und dann genossen wir noch die Abendsonne im Klostergarten.Um 22 Uhr ist Bettruhe.

      Sobrado dos Monxes

      September 28, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 73 °F

      25km or 15 miles today. We are tired. . We are in Sobrado dos Monxes. There is a Monastery that the town ‘gets its name from’. Our walk today would be more beautiful photos pathways and pastures. Just go back a few days to see the scenery.. Beautiful, for sure! ButI don’t want to bore anyone.
      The air is cool and crisp, the clouds don’t let the sun beat down. And the food was great but breakfast! A good start!
      Speaking of eating, I really want to go back to last night. As I was talking to my grandson, over the phone, 40-60 goats ran down the road past our eating place/cafe and hurried into a pasture. Some missing the mark and scrabbling back into the open gates. A dog was handling most everything with a older gentleman in the back walking calmly was giving orders in Spanish to the dog (?) or the goats ? One additional unexpected bit of help was a teen on a bicycle rounding around the goats at another angle from the dog. It was so fun to see. I feel the dog and the old man really worked the magic. But the teen got some of the younger ’uneducated’ kid goats to follow the ‘leader’. What’s fun end to the evening. We don’t see that after dinner ever!
      On the subject of animals, I got another animal treat today. As we were walking a very rural road ( most of the day) 30 dairy cows approached us on the road, walking a naturally as a mooring stroll, with one black and white herding dog. The dog would hunker down and wait for a misstep. Then come out, correct the offending code by mearly walking toward it at a low walk then go to the side and hunker down again. Until the next cow went awry just a bit, Then the dog would bolt out correct the cow by walking toward it, no bark or growl. . Over and over. The dog was in his/her element and really enjoying every moment. I thought ( and I love this thought) that the owner had just sent the dog to take the cues to the next field.
      There were no cars on the road, just the dog, 30 dairy cows and us. Finally, a small older woman dressed with her apron on and staff in hand, followed all the cows.
      I told her , her dog was amazing ( in poor Spanish) She smiled broadly and responded, “Yes, he is. Thank you!”. That dog is loved!
      On another note,we met a gal who asked to walk with us awhile. It’s what pilgrims do. Try someone on for a bit and if it’s a good fit you walk together. If not, you u drop back or sped up and on. 😉
      We walked with Meelike ( pronounced almost like the Hawaiian Melekimaka (spelling? ). She is Estonian ( NOT Slavic, thank you very much 👍) living in the Nederlands.
      Walking 27km ….. brought our conversions to several subjects and into some deep sharing moments! The Camino brings up things in all of us we didn’t know we needed to share. She has had moments, as have we all. It was a good day! And the time went by a bit faster for us all.
      These ( believe it or not ) easier days can feel long because we don’t have the HUGE terrain challenges as before. I know 27km isn’t short but the first 11-14 days were so much more difficult, technical, Hot, muddy and somehow LONGER!
      Ah, side note, we were trying to be good about taking breaks as each one of us has a small niggling physical issue we are trying to deal with our Kerri from rearing it’s ugly head…. This was to be a day with few places to take a break. At one point we took to some cement blocks on the side in the road highway just to take a breather and rest our feet.
      Another time we saw a hand written sign for coffee and sandwiches, etc.. We turned in to what appeared to be a chicken barnyard with a house to the side, tables chairs and flies. Chickens roamed everywhere! Tired dirty dogs greeted us and a happy 30-something man. !
      Then Mama came out. Sweet gal , dirty shoes - but her a working farm er… chicken coop-thing and we gulped and decided to order… still a bit apprehensive of our decision. The other desperate pilgrims we have seen along the way poured in. Apprehensive, but happy for food, chairs and coffee several sat, justifying our decision.
      The South Aftikan’s wanted to order Botega’s-sandwiches, Mama wanted to know if the wanted chicken sandwiches. Both men looked around a bit aghast and then looked at us. Tammy said, ‘The chicken is FRESH!!” We all laughed and they asked me to order cheese and tomato on bread. 😂😂
      Moving on to Sobrado-
      The Monastery is beautiful ! When we arrived after dinner, the monk wasn’t around. We were in the foyer and wanted to go in the church or at least the court yards. We tried opening the courtyard door and heard little voices behind the large thick door, “Can you open this? We can’t get out!” We couldn’t get in! 😂
      The monk arrived and spoke Spanish until he heard us speak and switched to English and unlocked the building and courtyard Leung the confused people staying there out.
      The monk tuned out to be very really funny. His English was great! He busted a bit and explained where we could look around as the church closed at 7:30pm. We held ourselves to a tour and then returned to thank him and day good bye.
      I asked where he learned his English. His answer . “ I came buy it honestly being born in England”.
      The expectations were have….. LOL

      Sobrado - Regen, nichts als Regen

      June 23, 2022 in Spain ⋅ 🌧 15 °C

      Losmarschieren konnten wir heute noch trocken.
      Dann aber folgt Schauer auf Schauer. Regenponcho an, Kapuze auf, Kapuze ab, Poncho aus, und dann wieder von vorne.
      Dazu 25 Kilometer Schotter- und Landstraße, unterbrochen von kurzen Matsch-Stücken.
      Da haben wir uns selbst gewundert, wie gut wir das durchgezogen haben.

      Kurz vorm Ziel erwischt es uns dann aber richtig und von den Knien abwärts sind wir klatschnass, inklusive Schuhe und Socken.

      Nachdem wir wieder trocken sind, werfen wir noch einen kurzen Blick in das Kloster Sobrado dos Monxes. Laut Google eine der spektakulärsten architektonischen Anlagen auf dem Nordweg.
      Eine südafrikanische Pilgerin hat extra ihr Zimmer storniert, nur um dort im Schlafsaal nächtigen zu dürfen. Das werden wir definitiv nicht tun! 😂

      Sobrado and 'The Heavy Joy'

      June 26, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

      "Ese barco velero cargado de sueños
      Cruzo la bahía
      Me dejo aquella tarde agitando el pañuelo
      Sentada en la orilla…"
      (Isabel Pantoja - Marinero De Luces)

      La notte passa tranquilla e il risveglio non è traumatico.
      Vado a riprendere le scarpe fuori ed il freddo mi sconvolge.
      In Sicilia abbiamo queste temperature solo in Gennaio o Febbraio.
      Siamo quasi a Luglio ed i 7 gradi di umidità che sento nell'aria mi ricordano quanto sia bello essere qui e non nella mia terra martoriata da incendi e caldo atroce.
      Faccio una colazione in ostello offerta dagli ospitalieri e quel burro d'arachidi che metto sul pane sarà la mia salvezza per il giorno che devo affrontare; tra il punto di partenza ed il punto di arrivo c'è poco o niente, solo qualche albergue che fa da Bar abusivamente.
      Partiamo tutti insieme ma ben presto i ritmi si mostrano ben diversi: Chris e Ale volano sulla strada mentre io, Megan, Matthew e Axel rimaniamo molto indietro.
      Il paesaggio è sempre lo stesso, l'unica variazione è una radura vasta e rocciosa all'inizio che si mostra all'improvviso e mi fa pensare:'ehi higlands scozzesi siete voi?'
      La prima parte la passo con Axel e mi racconta che il rapporto con Valdemar non è migliorato. Lui sembra accettare la cosa e mi dice che è grato di questa opportunità e che spera che suo padre lo accetti per com'è come lui ha accettato che il loro rapporto non può cambiare.
      Credo che stare con noi, e con noi intendo più che altro Megan e Matthew sia per lui una sorta di rinascita, una sorta di cammino nel cammino, la parte migliore che allevia tutti i pensieri.
      L'umore di tutti cmq è alle stelle e durante la camminata siamo veramente sorridenti e tranquilli come poche altre volte. Oggi Megan è felice e quando questo accade diventa sempre più bella e radiosa; e poi adoro la sua comicità.
      Non c'è niente di più bello di una donna che sta bene e che sa ridere e fare ridere con una sorta di 'eleganza'.
      Facciamo molte pause, e per passare il tempo faccio ai miei amici gli indovinelli che Gollum fa a Bilbo ne 'Lo Hobbit'.
      Paradossalmente hanno problemi negli indovinelli più facili.
      Successivamente parlo di finanza generale con Axel e questo mi fa capire che devo studiare per cercare di investire qualcosa per il mio futuro; sembra più facile a dirsi ma ci devo provare.
      Nella seconda parte prendiamo tutto il fango che non abbiamo preso in un mese, perché d'altronde Gotzon aveva ragione e se non soffri non sei un vero pellegrino.
      Pensavo di averla scampata e invece no; ecco che le mie scarpe tutte piene di buchi possono infangarsi per bene.
      Una parte è abbastanza impraticabile e dobbiamo saltare per superarla. Io e Matthew saltiamo e Megan non riesce a smettere di ridere, d'ora in poi Matt sarà conosciuto nei secoli avvenire come 'Matthew Lightfoot' roba che 'Skywalker spostate'.
      Arriviamo a Sobrado e i miei amici fanno una veloce pennichella davanti al lago mente io cerco di non morire di freddo camminando avanti e indietro.
      L'albergue non è altro che il monastero ma dato che siamo arrivati tardi non riesco a godermelo appieno e ho una visione panoramica e superficiale. L'accoglienza di padre Laurence e lenta e snervante, e l'unica cosa che voglio è fare una doccia il più presto possibile. Divido la lavatrice con due ragazzi americani, Mason e Shana (molto carini), e successivamente mi unisco alla cena in uno dei due bar che ci sono nella piazza del paese. Siamo 12 pellegrini meno Erika che per impazienza va via. Ci sono tutti da Tony ad Axel, da Lukas al suo degno compare, da Holly a Bettina.
      Prima che si inizi a mangiare e bere vino come se non esistesse un domani l'argomento principale è che tutto questo sta finendo; una sorta di 'heavy joy' come la definisce Chris, ma io non ho voglia di partecipare all'argomento.
      Vorrei avere le orecchie tappate, come d'altronde gli occhi quando passo vicino alle pietre miliari che mi ricordano questo snervante countdown.
      Mancano 3 giorni e mi sembra presto per pensare alla fine; non voglio pensare a cosa dire, a come sarà, agli addi, a chi piangerà per primo e a tutto quello che la fine di un ciclo comporti. Ma sembra non si parli d'altro.
      Qua iniziano a scambiarsi promesse:'ne faremo un altro', andremo di qua, andremo di la.
      Una delle prime cose che ho imparato è che non si fanno promesse quando si è felici e pieni di entusiasmo, è troppo facile e troppo irreale.
      La vita non funziona così, ci porterà tutti da un altra parte, per percorsi differenti e luoghi altrettanto lontani e distanti gli uni dagli altri.
      Sopratutto ad Ale dico:' stai attento, non fare promesse'. Ma il mood è ben diverso e quello che dico non è visto di buon occhio.
      Matthew è la star della serata come sempre e posso confermare che tutto il vino che ha bevuto lo sta smaltendo adesso russando come non mai, e la Malcolm Squad che è in camera con noi sicuramente (non) ringrazia.
      Siamo sempre il gruppo più numeroso e questo fa rima con rumoroso, ma in senso buono, e sono contento che Lukas, Tony ed Axel si siano uniti alla 'festa'.
      Guardo Megan a cui oggi brillano gli occhi per tutta la felicità, e mi ricordo della mia epifania di Islares.
      Maledico gli italiani che non hanno mai colonizzato niente, a quest'ora si parlerebbe italiano in tutto il mondo e Marco sarebbe Marco con lei e non una pessima imitazione di se stesso. Dobbiamo rientrare prima delle 22 e il postre ce lo godiamo in fretta e furia, domani sarà l'ultimo giorno tutti insieme, poi alcuni arriveranno a Santiago prima di altri: Chris per il volo e Matthew per il problema al telefono.
      Oggi ho scritto di meno e in maniera meno dettagliata, ma siamo alla fine e mi mancano energie e tempo.
      Domani ci ricongiungeremo al cammino francese e mi aspetto molti pellegrini e molto traffico sul cammino.
      La quiete è terminata e la tempesta è in arrivo.

      PS: le solite battute su pollo e polla si sprecano fin quando Megan dice 'è solo un altro tipo di carne'😅😅🤭🤭🤭
      E niente, sono morto.

      Amen

      August 12, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

      So lange wird keine Etappe mehr, hoffentlich😅
      Nach 26 km und einem Start um 6.30 Uhr, um der Sonne zu entfliehen, haben wir wieder einiges erlebt.

      Im dunklen Wald hat sich wieder ein Hund an uns geschlichen, was ganz schön beängstigend sein kann wenn es Stock- Dunkel ist, glücklicherweise war auch er nicht böse gesinnt.

      Bis die Sonne kam waren die größten Berge bezwungen.

      Das Kloster ist sehr beeindruckend und sogar Besucher können das Kloster und die Pilger Herberge besuchen😂
      Das heißt Touris schauen uns beim chillen zu, interessant😉

      Der Abend hat noch eine schöne Pilgermesse abgerundet, also singen können die Mönche ja❤️
