Paris with Lynda


Reflecting on the sights we had seen on our first day in Paris Lyndi and I both agreed ‘this is too much !’
Wandering the streets of Paris the magnificent and beautiful architecture is everywhere competing with the  delicious food and stunning colors of gardens and flowers which decorate the city. 
We we amazed by the grand Dome des Invalides, before walking through Luxembourg gardens, past the Pantheon then to Notre Dame. Enjoying coffee, croissants, and wine throughout the day we strolled through the Latin quarter, along the along the Seine river in the afternoon sunshine to the Musee D’Orsay before having more wine and people watching.

  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.
