      Day 29

      Molinesca to Cacabelos 20 km

      April 6 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      Today was an eventful day as I saw 2 burros and my very first Stork!!!

      The road today was mixed asphalt, cement and dirt roads.

      I continue to soak up Spring in Spain. The greens, buds on trees and numerous varied blossoms. The wild red and orange poppies, forget me nots, lilac and other flowers I do not know the name for.

      It was quite a wet day but I was able to enjoy a delicious sandwich under cover at a bus stop 😉

      My supper was 7 delicious fresh churros🥰😍😂      Read more

      Day 33

      Tag 33 von Ponferrada nach Villafranca

      June 3, 2022 in Spain ⋅ 🌧 22 °C

      Heute ging es weiter auf meinem Weg.
      Leider hat es die meiste Zeit geregnet mit kurzen Aussetzern.
      Der Regenponcho mein bester Freund 🤣🤣🤣.
      Es ging heute durch viele kleinere Dörfer mit teilweise sehr schönen Kirchen und auch netten Kaffees die allerdings mit Poncho so eine Sache sind .
      Das Wetter könnte man hier als wirklich interessant bezeichnen.
      Wenn es Regnet etwas kühler aber kaum kommt die Sonne raus dampf alles und ist im nu wird es wieder heiß und alles trocknet ( halt wie in Deutschland ) 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
      Nach dem 3x Poncho aus und kurz darauf wieder an hab ich aufgegeben und ihn an gelassen.
      Ab morgen beginnt die sogenannte Königsetappe.
      Das wird nochmal richtig spannend die nächsten Tag.
      Aber das schaffe ich schon 💪.      Read more

      Von ponferada nach villafranca del bierz

      June 3, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

      Hola hola, nunja was soll ich sagen, der Weg raus aus ponferada war nicht sehr spektakulär aber dafür das Wetter. Kurz vor dem erreichen des ersten Ortes, fing es mal kräftig an zu regnen, also Regencape an. Kurze Zeit später hörte es wieder auf, also Cape wieder aus. Man merkt dass es so langsam Richtung des bergigen Galicia geht, dass Wetter wird unbeständiger und schlägt innerhalb von Minuten um. Mal regnet heftig und dann knallt Stella wieder vom Himmel. Heute wurde die 200km Marke unterschritten und so langsam kann man das Finale einleuten, wenn dann alles glatt läuft. Heute waren es ca 26 km und Morgen nochmal in diese Richtung. Erkenntnis des Tages: das Wetter lässt sich nunmal nicht in die Karten schauen. Bleibt gesund.Read more

      Day 6- Ponferrada to Villafranca del Bie

      April 11 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

      Another long day! 16.5 miles. It took us way too long. Most of the day today was on a road. Didn’t take too many pictures today. Most of the day was just Patrick and I walking. No other pilgrims around. It was also hot today. I think close to 80 degrees.
      Finally got here and we are staying in an old monestary.
      Went to dinner with someone from England, Spain and Germany.      Read more

      May 14, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

      Heute habe ich viel an meine zwei Schmuser 🐈🐈 denken müssen. Und wieviel Straßenkazten es doch hier überall gibt 😱🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈usw. Wenn ich die alle mitnehmen könnte...... Hejjeijei..... Tierpension 😂😂

      Bin heute wieder in einer sehr freundlichen Herberge untergekommen. Gab leider mal wieder kein offizielles Bett mehr, aber die noch von gestern von einer Party übrig gebliebene Frau an der Anmeldung 😂😂😂, hat mir dann ein Bett oben unter dem Dach zurecht gemacht 🥳🥳🥳 Juhuuuuuuuuu Einzelzimmer und keiner der schnarcht 😂🥳🥳🥳🤪.

      Jetzt sitz ich mit einem Mann aus Kalifornien und einer Frau aus Brasilien im Ort im Restaurant und es spielt hier auf dem Marktplatz eine live-Band ziemlich laut 🤯 🎸

      Inzwischen bin ich unter der 200 km Marke von Santiago und habe schon fünf Tage rausgestöckelt.

      P. S. Heute bin ich 33,1 km weiter gekommen 🤭 🥳      Read more

      Day 12

      Walking on a stairway to heaven

      April 20 in Spain ⋅ 🌙 46 °F

      Today was one of the longest days of our walk to date. Almost 18 miles with about 1800 feet of elevation gain. Lydia was a trooper as we walked and walked higher to the village of O Cebreiro. The village was a bit of a change as it was very tourist focused. We learned at checking that there was about 3 feet of snow on the ground less than three weeks ago. Lydia and I had a wonderful pilgrim meal to celebrate our accomplishment and a bottle of wine 🍷. Tomorrow is an easier day heading downhill in preparation for our final week.Read more

      Trabadelo to O’Cebreiro

      May 28, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

      It was very sad to leave Casa Susi. It has been the perfect way to regroup and rest. The food and company has done a lot to lift my spirits.

      I took a taxi to O’Cebreiro as I wouldn’t have been able to climb that mountain. We are now in Galicia and almost finished with the steep climbs.

      I went to my first pilgrim’s mass and blessing this evening. The theme was ‘hope’ and I will take that with me over the next six days as I head towards Santiago de Compostela.

      Cacabelos (15.7km / 577.6km)

      May 26, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

      For the first time we left in the rain. Very soft drizzle really but we got to use our wet weather gear. We had a few short light showers so no real problem.
      We had a very chatty day somehow. Although we have had several meals with one couple, today we walked with them for a couple of hours and the conversation was very different. When walking it is amazing how people are less guarded and more open to various topics. Then, on the last section we met a couple from Florida and the ladies paired up and left us guys to do the same. A very interesting man, a specialist gastroenterologist physician who was born in the Dominican Republic and was happy to take me through their history as a nation under various colonialists and ultimately independence. Time and miles flew by. The ladies ended up walking and talking with a local who was out walking her dog!
      One of the churches in the small village of Fuentes Neuvas had a beautiful “last supper” painting on the ceiling. Really unexpected in an otherwise ordinary place.
      As we head west, the food is definitely getting better and better, especially the seafood. We had octopus and mussels as part of our lunch which was lovely. We saw the octopus being prepared in a large barrel a bit later - seems to be a local thing.
      We went for a stroll in the evening and it started to rain so we popped into a bar and ordered a sparkling mineral water each. We were the only ones in the bar and the owner gave us all his attention. We had heard the local wine was good so we asked him for some. He was delighted and gave us the full story of the wine and how it had won awards etc- but it was in rather passionate Spanish so not sure we got it all! Anyway the wine was lovely!
      All up, Cacebelos surprised us and is bigger and nicer than expected. A town with life and well presented buildings.      Read more

      Flug 29. Mai 2023 ist storniert...

      Vielleicht war heute dass erste Mal in meinem Leben, wo ich nicht alles auf den Kopf gestellt habe, damit ich kein Geld verliere. Bewusst habe ich mich entschieden mein Camino weiterhin mit Gelassenheit zu gehen ohne mich zeitlich unter Druck zu setzen. Jede Münze die ich für diesen Traum zur Seite gelegt habe, nimmt hier einen besonderen Wert an. Sobald ich in Santiago bin endet für mich meine Wanderung, auch wenn ich weitere Ziel Orte für die Tage danach im Sinn habe. Endlich ist es wieder warm und man hat bei Ankunft im Dorf ein Gefühl von Urlaub und vorallem grenzenloser Freiheit. Ich liebe Spanien, es ist wie ein Stück Heimat, auch wenn ich in mir keine Wurzeln diesen Landes trage. Nun sind es weniger als 200 km was für mich überhaupt nicht greifbar ist. Du hast hier nicht einmal die Zeit dir die Namen der Ortschaften zu merken, weil es immens viele sind und dein Fokus auf deine Gedanken liegt. Irgendwann habe ich aufgehört jedes Ereignis festzuhalten, denn es ist wie mit den Menschen "Viele Menschen treten in dein Leben ein, aber nur ein paar besondere Menschen hinterlassen auch Spuren in deinem Herzen". Ein Satz von heute den ich einer Wand entnommen habe.

      Il volo 29 maggio 2023 l'ho stornato...

      Forse oggi è stata la prima volta in vita mia che non ho stravolto tutto per non perdere soldi. Ho deciso consapevolmente di continuare a percorrere il mio Cammino con serenità, senza mettermi sotto pressione. Ogni moneta che ho messo da parte per questo sogno assume qui un valore speciale. Appena arrivo a Santiago, il mio cammino a piedi finisce, anche se ho in mente altre mete per i giorni successivi. Finalmente fa di nuovo caldo e quando si arriva in paese si ha una sensazione di vacanza e, soprattutto, di libertà infinita. Amo la Spagna, è come un pezzo di casa, anche se non ho radici di questo Paese in me. Ora mancano meno di 200 km, il che non è affatto tangibile per me. Qui non si ha nemmeno il tempo di ricordare i nomi delle città, perché ce ne sono così tante e la concentrazione è sui propri pensieri. A un certo punto ho smesso di memorizare ogni evento, perché è come con le persone: "Molte persone entrano nella tua vita, ma solo poche persone speciali lasciano tracce nel tuo cuore". Una frase di oggi che ho preso da un muro.

      Awesome food

      August 16, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

      Dinner at El Serbal y la Luna was great. First, peppers with garlic; second, the best couscous I ever had, with vegetables; and icecream for dessert.
      Breakfast was equally good. I was able to soak some oats overnight, which is the closest I could get to the bircher muesli I normally have at home.Read more
