The dream has finally arrrived.... I´m sitting here in puenta della reina typing up this entry.. To date we´ve walked just a little over 90kms through rain, wind, mud, sun did I mention mud...Heaps of the stuff... This journey has been unbelievable from the word go... I´ve meet sooo many people from the plane ride to England from the plane ride to the starting point (SJPP) the guy I met on this particular plane ride is part of the group I´m walking with. There´s 5 of us walking together 3 from Italy and 1 from Hungary and so many others...The majority of people walking the Camino seem to be French, Germans and Italians... I´ve only met 2 other Aussies one of them used to live in North Narrabeen (small world hey)...
The Camino is a simple life and I´m loving it!!! We get up around 6:30am pack our bags, head out to a bar to have breakfast walk, then stop at another bar to eat lunch, walk some more, rock up to a refugio (hostel) wash our clothes and shower, check out the village/city, head to another bar to eat dinner (pilgrim menu) write in our journals and head to bed around 10pm...That´s it!!! I could do this for awhile and thank god I have awhile.
It´s an extremely cheap holiday (roughly around 25 Euros a day). Yesterday my knee went slightly I was sooo worried my Camino would have ended there and then so I went to church prayed for divine intervention and popped a 600mg anti-inflammatory and waaalllaaaa my knee was right as rain today... I can´t believe in Oz you need a prescription for 50mg, here in Spain they sell 600mg over the counter, thank the lord...hehehe
Apologises for any mistakes, the keyboard is slightly different here and my money is slowing running out but the truth be told I couldn´t be bothered to go over this post...hehehehe
All in all I´m going to leave it here and say ´life requires one step at a time and in good time one will arrive to their destination. Let´s pray in my case it´s Santiago de Compostella in great health... (As I´m definiteyl eating lots and lots)...hehehehe
Anyways my friends hope all is well with you all...
Adios for now
