It's Over

I still have a few more travel day blog entries to write but I thought I would write a few notes about what the camino has meant to me…

Day 27 - Villafranca del Bierzo - Sarria

We had to cheat on this stage!

Day 26 - Ponferrada - Villafranca del Bierzo

We didn't walk on Christmas day.  This had more to do with pain & laziness than religious reasons!

Here is a photo Gordon took from his balcony (we didn't have one) back the way we came.

Day 24 - Foncebadon - Ponferrada

Wow!

This was an amazing day.  The weather was incredibly unkind.  Howling gale and heavy rain that never relented.

Day 23 - Astorga - Foncebadon

Today should have been a shorter day but we had resolved to walk the extra 5-6km to Foncebadon rather than stop at Rabanal.

Dangers of bed bugs

Gordon just told us of a NZ couple who have been camping the whole way decided to stay in an Albergue one particularly nasty night. 

Picked up bed bugs and one of them reacted so badly that they have had to cancel their camino.
