Camino day 11 to Ledigos

 May 31. A great talkfest today .. 40 km with company most of the way. The journey through the meseta is mainly flat farming plains with a couple of villages in between .. hopefully with good food. 

I walked with Frank from North Germany 5-6 km then away he went on his unicycle. Then 1 chant with a lovely lady from South Korea for 10 km . Then another 10km walked with Frank from North Germany now living in Canberra. Once checked into the albergue a very fun night with a Croatian lady and some South African ladies over drinks and dinner. 

I’m not that tall but nearly hit the roof in my room at the albergue.€10 per night

Mud brick and rendered building.

Camino day 22 to Santiago

Image
  Walking into the plaza facing the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela felt strangely surreal. Thoughts and expectations of what would the Camino be like, would I be strong enough, will I stay well, will I find somewhere to sleep?  How would I feel when I reached Santiago?  I felt overjoyed in completing the pilgrimage, I was amazed by the Cathedral and the tomb of Saint James, and grateful that the journey had delivered the simplicity of life as a pilgrim that I imagined.  At the start of the pilgrimage you are provided with your Credencial (pilgrims passport) which allows you to stay in the albergues, and is proof of your journey as you get it stamped at churches, places of interest, cafes and albergues along the way. You are also provided with suggested stages for each day usually 20-30km per day.  Most pilgrims follow the suggested stages, and many book accommodation a few days ahead, however I preferred to walk a little further most days and stay in “off s...
