Well done!!! Hope you’re enjoying the rest. You’ve earned it!
Day 6 complete-one of the prettiest walks ever, a downhill 12 kilometer hike through an old mill stream and then vineyards. Sadly, one of our group fell on the stairs at the guest house (not while hiking) and broke her arm. She will fly back to Florida today. Pray for Ann and husband Deryl. Rest of us 4 will continue today.
Thanks for all the updates! These are awesome.
Turk, have you been able to catch a meal with Eva Longoria?
Day 7 done ✅ about 16 kilometers mostly downhill to the sea at Villanova de Arousa. Took about 5 hours and 21,000 steps. It was cool to reach the sea and walk along the shoreline for the last kilometer into town. Feeling good. Still no blisters, only one black toenail.
Tomorrow we take a boat across the bay and upriver to the town of Padron where the walking route continues. We will reach Santiago on the morning of May 17.
My wife is trekking with a women’s group on the Camino Frances and has battled rain, hail, snow and wind. Finally the weather cleared a bit yesterday afternoon and she is resting today. She plans to arrive May 18.
You've given new meaning to the phrase " I think I'll go for a walk"!
@donniem Not yet, but believe it or not my wife just met podcaster/author Sean “of the South” Dietrich at dinner tonight! Here’s the photo proof!!! He and his wife are walking the French Camino route and posting blog updates.
I talked to an old friend today who is leaving tomorrow to walk the Portgual Camino.
I can highly recommend this Portugal route, especially the option of the “Variante Espiritual” which we are doing. It splits off after Pontevedra along the coast and includes the water route. It’s much more scenic and enjoyable.
Day 8 complete - sunrise boat crossing of the bay of Arousa and up the Ulia River to Padron. We walked the side route to see the monastery, making it about a 15 kilometre walk day. Sunny skies and warm weather today. My backpack 🎒 actually felt lighter today. Not sure if I’m missing something or perhaps getting stronger.
