Well, I managed to quite literally, ´hobble´to Pamplona, and am staying at the ´Jesus e Maria´albergue (7 euro)… bed #5 if you´re looking for me sweetie…
I am really enjoying the journey… walking for the most part in solitude, but chatting to people occasionally along the way, but at the moment, my feet feel like hamburger… blistered and bruised like they´ve never been before… my hiking boots are toast… (hmmmm… hamburger and toast would taste good right now…) 🙂
I tried everything today… changing socks, changing into my hiking sandles… nothing would give me much relief, until I put on the thickest pair of hiking socks, which make everything feel really tight, but they were the lesser of all evils.… [Read more]

Had a relatively restful sleep last night… the accomodations were great!
Got an early start, I was walking at 6:25am or so… it´s actually nice to start early; it´s cool, and the sun is just coming up, so the lighting for potential pictures is fantastic!… [Read more]

From Roncesvalles to Zubiri (21.5 km)
I got an early start today, on the road walking at 6:30 am. I didn´t have the best sleep last night even though my bed was super comfortable and it was quiet in my little area. … [Read more]

I began to walk at 7:45 under beautiful sunny skies and warm temperatures even this early in the day. I tried to get provisions for the day but most of the shops were still closed. … [Read more]

I´m a little behind but what´s new. I see that Chris has posted a blog entry already (isn´t he speedy!) which is great. I´ve completed my first day too, but before I write about that I wanted to tell you about getting to St.… [Read more]

Well, it was tough going at times, but I managed the 27kms to the first stop through the mountains in roughly 7 hours.
Passed Christina at the 7.5 km mark, even though I left a half hour later in a vain attempt to get my hair cut before starting… the barber was closed on Tuesdays.… [Read more]

We have spent today getting ourselves organized for our month long walk doing the Camino de Santiago. Most people spend a fair bit of time getting themselves prepared for such a long journey even purchasing special gear. … [Read more]

We are now headed to Spain to walk the Camino de Santiago, a 780 km journey from St Jean Pied de Port, France to Santiago de Compostela, Spain. We have 29 days allocated (yes, that translates to approximately 27 km per day) after which we hop onto a plane and fly to London, England where we will be visiting relatives (Colin and Lynne) for a few days (my niece, Catherine’s in-laws) and then staying on at their place for the month of July while they travel to Canada.… [Read more]

Our last two weeks at Trove have passed by very quickly. We house sat for the final 10 days of our stay while Barbara and Ugo were away on tours. During that time we got into a comfortable routine – waking up around 7:30 each morning, enjoying coffee and breakfast before starting our “work day” around 9:00.… [Read more]
