Mini Camino Frances Day 4 – Palas de Rei to Melide
The rain had finally abated and the skies were clear for the first time on our walk, however it was 8 Celsius, in other words, cold. We stopped for breakfast at a cafe just up the road from the albergue before we began our fourth day on the Camino. Palas de Rei being a stageContinue reading “Mini Camino Frances Day 4 – Palas de Rei to Melide”
Mini Camino Frances Day 3 – Ventas de Naron to Palas de Rei
A lot shorter day however there was more rain. It had poured throughout the night but by breakfast there was a temporary reprieve.

Mini Camino Frances Day 1 – Sarria to Vilacha
After two days of travelling and relying on public transport, planes and Spanish pizzerias. We arrived in Sarria late afternoon. The only flight from Gatwick landed in Santiago at 2255h.

Camino Portugués Brucy Bonus
I have finally found some time since returning from my second Camino to make my customary video of the trip. It has been a bit hectic for me since arriving home; my feet were only on British soil for a week, before I was boarding a plane to Amsterdam for a training in course; IContinue reading “Camino Portugués Brucy Bonus”
Out and About in Porto
First thing I did once checked into Porto was do a bit of clothes shopping. If I’m spending a few days in civilisation, I don’t want to look and smell like a pilgrim! It was a late one Tuesday as Hailey flew out Wednesday afternoon, thus we celebrated her last night of her Camino adventure.Continue reading “Out and About in Porto”
Full Circle
I still have a week left of my leave and most of my Camino friends have either left or due to leave today. I had the option to go to Fisterra or fly back. However checking the flights they were either too expensive or too early for me to get the bus back from Fisterra,Continue reading “Full Circle”
Relaxing in Santiago
I rolled out of bed around 8, enjoying the extra sleep. I went for some breakfast then had a walk around while it was quiet. I went to visit Santiago’s tomb and the cathedral. For lunch I met up with my Camino friends and said goodbye to Jelonda, as she would be heading home. InContinue reading “Relaxing in Santiago”
