      Tag 33 von Ponferrada nach Villafranca

      3. juni 2022, Spanien ⋅ 🌧 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 💪.

      Von ponferada nach villafranca del bierz

      3. juni 2022, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 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.Læs mere

      Day 28 Las Herrerias

      4. juni, Spanien ⋅ 🌙 54 °F

      20k into Las Herrerias this morning. We passed many mountain streams feeding into a beautiful river. The highway was far above us. Hiway walking was also involved today. Our hotel in Las Herrerias is beautiful. Tomorrow a big climb!Læs mere

      Day 26 to Villafranca del Bierzo

      3. juni, Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

      Slow start... had to say goodbye to Vince... which was hard... but he promised to visit us in SA.

      Also fresh pilgrims to break in...
      Pam & Gretha's first day (and it's gonna be hot!)

      I don't think one can really prepare for a walk like this... also never thought I'd actually be walking for so long... it's a habit now... walk, ear, drink, sleep, repeat... not physically nor emotionally...

      I absolutely love the disconnect- not speaking to anyone if you don’t want to... not answering emails, whatsapps, ignoring a ringing phone- bliss

      Saw Jamie, Ivan, Menneley, Alessandro this morning.

      Met Danni - French lady towards the end and Sasha (sp?) German guy as we walked into Villafranca.

      Wine from papercups to celebrate... all slightly tired - but good.

      Staying at San Nicolas - stunning place- our own pretend castle

      Villafranca Del Bierzo

      3. juni, Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

      Day 32 Villafranca Del Bierzo
      Distance from Ponferrada to Villafranca 29kms

      With a long hot day ahead of us we started out early walking along the river bank and out of the city.
      The path today was light shingle and walking was easy through the endless vineyards. Alas there was no wine tasting but the cherries were ripe that hung from the trees on the edge of the rows.
      We passed through one small village where we bought what we thought was a small loaf of bread sprinkled with salt. As it turned out it was sprinkled with sugar so our lunch (under a tree on the side of the path) changed from sardines and tomato on bread to banana on bread. As two hungry Peregrinos we thought it was the best sandwich ever.
      The grapevines stretched forever the day was simply glorious it was such a perfect day.

      Casa Susi ~ Trabadelo

      11. maj, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

      In doing our Camino research, there was one small special Albergue “Casa Susi” where we were really hoping to snag a bed. A few weeks into our trip, we calculated when we might arrive in the Trabadelo area and called to see if there was an opening for May 12th. Unfortunately, the date was booked. After looking at our schedule a little more we checked for an opening on May 11th, and they had 2 beds available!!!! It was fate that we were treated to this wonderful Albergue on Kim’s 50th birthday.

      Our jaw dropping day in the mountains culminated with an incredible celebration at Casa Susi, with a home-cooked vegetarian dinner, birthday desserts & singing , followed by a special visit to La Torre de Villafranca del Bierzo Bodega 🍷 to see Dan Mullins (A famous Camino podcaster and musician) in concert! 🎶 . We were up way past our normal 10pm bedtime 😂. Susi and her wonderful husband, Fermín, were such wonderful hosts, we couldn’t have asked for a more special day on the Camino 💕

      Cacabelos (15.7km / 577.6km)

      26. maj 2023, Spanien ⋅ ☁️ 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.

      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.

      Ello

      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

      16. august 2022, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 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.Læs mere

      Topsy turvy

      16. oktober 2023, Spanien ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      I think maybe I off loaded so much baggage yesterday that my balance is off, because today I fell - twice! No damage at all the first time except to the final shreds of my dignity. The second time I scraped my knee a bit. I’m grateful I did not actually hurt myself.

      Possibly the five hours of picking my way downhill on rocky, uneven terrain yesterday may have more to do with it. After the amazingly lovely first few hours it became one of the more grueling days on the Camino and my calves are still feeling it.

      Today was an easy walk though, and a pleasant one, much buoyed by learning that our friend David, of David and Ollie, was walking today after all. He looked quite shipwrecked last night and neither he nor I thought he would be continuing, at least today. I was sad! But 12 hours of sleep apparently worked it’s magic and here he is after all and we had a great conversation this evening about our experiences at the Cruz
      de ferro. Another happy moment today? Morgan and I had FRIED EGGS and toast for breakfast, with coffee and orange juice. We were So Happy with this taste of home! It’s the little things.

      I’ve included a photo taken on the way out of town of the huge Knights Templar castle, which I did not get to tour. It goes on my list of reasons I will be walking this route again.

      Tomorrow we will start climbing again toward another icon of the trip, O Cebreiro, though we will stop about 5 K short of that mountain top where the Camino was basically reborn. Then we will drop into Galicia, or “Green Spain.” Lots to look forward to!
