Back home earlier than planned and reason why

If you were wondering why my Camino-blog hasn't been updated in a while: I'm back home. Earlier than planned, I've stopped my Camino in Leon and have not reached Santiago. Not because I couldn't walk but because Paul isn't doing so great right now, ...

Day 21 – Terradillos de los Templarios – 27km

(Wednesday) Walking went great today, as you can tell by the distance I covered. I walked alone the first 23km, during the final four I was joined by an italian guy who proved to be a nice conversationalist. This town was named after the ...

Day 20 - Carrion de los Condes - 17km

Walked with the Spanish guy (Alex) today. This morning we found a little baby owl who'd either been deserted or had fallen from the nest. We named it Tiago, and decided to take it to the nearest vet. It was really scared and didn't want to eat ...

Day 19 - Población de Campos - 21km

The football hooligans stayed put. My good night's rest is thankful. When I left the Italian refugio this morning, they surprised us again by reciting a pilgrim farewell prayer as we headed out. They sure are keen on rituals and ordinances here ...

Day 18 - Itero del Castillo - 14km

(Sunday) You'll never believe me, but it was freezing last night! I'm approximately 900 meters above sea level, and it shows. Started walking with a sweater on this morning! And this perpetual wind here gave me a cold. Brr. This morning I ...

Day 17 - San Anton - 27km

(Saturday) I joined a little group this morning. Some of them walked pretty fast, faster than I'm used to. At noon, I'd already covered 20km. Had a break at a little tavern. My feet don't really agree with this new strategy. Got two new blisters ...

Day 16 - Tardajos - 11km

Walked 11km with the Spaniard. We had lots of interesting discussions about the church and religion. We carried a dying sparrow off the road and put it in the shadow. Not much else we could do for it. Neither of us knows any Sparrow CPR. There's ...

Day 15 - Burgos - 25km

Passed the 300km mark today! Fitting for the 15th day :) Left early this morning, but after 1km the Korean guy and I noticed I had left my hat in the refugio. So we went back to get it, and as we re-started our trip, we noticed we'd taken the ...

Day 14 - Atapuerca - 20km

Started my climb over the Montes de Oca mountain range at 6AM this morning, and 12km and 4 hours later I found myself on the other side. Put my feet up in a cold fountain, in a place called San Juan de Ortega. Today's walk wasn't as hot. Crossed ...

Day 13 - Villafranca Montes de Oca - 18km

Stopped walking after 18 kilometers today, as there is a mountain range ahead of us, which we probably won't be able to cover in a few hours and make it to the next refugio in the burning heat. Somewhere along the way I got lost in this field of ...

Day 12 - Quintanilla del Monte - 25km

Today my guide book said there's a monastery in a cave here with a chicken run at the center of it (it's dedicated to some now-holy guy who had a thing for chickens). But I got there so early the chickens weren't there yet. Early bird missed the ...

Day 11 - Ciruena - 16km

My travel guide said there was an interesting little church near Nájera, carved mainly out of rock / a hill. They open at 10, so I decided not to hit the road early this morning and visit this little church instead. Turns out there's nothing to see ...

Day 10 - Nájera - 31km

Pushed myself to my limits today, in the burning sun at 37 degrees (C). Wore my shawl to protect my neck and face against the heat, I looked like a Sheikh :) Today is the first time I've been spreading this complete and utter stench - my socks can ...

Day 9 - Logroño - 10km

This morning I decided to just put some band-aid on this weird enema and put my socks and shoes back on, to head for the next village. So I walked 10 km to Logroño, and checked in to a refugio right away. Looked around town and just relaxed a bit. ...

Day 8 - Viana - 21km

Beautiful but hot day. Fields and fields filled with blossoming flowers. Very fitting for the day of the summer solstice. I'm absolutely convinced I'd have already had a sun stroke if it weren't for the big hat and the walking stick to support me. ...

Day 7 - Los Arcos - 22km

Walked 22 kilometers today and arrived in this little town called Los Arcos. Looks like an old western town: Dry, barren. Much like the road on my way here. Not a tree in sight for at least 12 kilometers, and at least 35 degrees. Damn. Passed a ...

Day 6 - Estella - 23km

Left a little later this morning after waiting in the rain for a few hours for a post office to open. The rain made everything smell very nice, so that's the upside of things :) And then the mountain said unto me: "Thou shalt not pass!" But I did ...

Day 5 - Puente la Reina - 19km

Cooking one's own meal turned out to be a lot of fun. I taught a Korean girl how to make pasta. Threw in all ingredients brought by four people - a guy from Australia, one from Germany, the Korean girl and me, so much better than each of us cooking ...

Day 4 - Cizur Menor - 5km

We all needed a break, so last night and today I joined just about everyone I've met so far on a sightseeing tour of Pamplona. They have a cathedral, city walls, churches, a park, an old castle ruin, big squares, it's all beautiful! No idea how much ...

Day 3 - Pamplona - 24km

Managed to cover another 24 kilometers yesterday - only 16 on foot though, the other 8 by car. It was around 35 degrees out there; If I had walked another mile I'd have dropped dead. Lucky enough that same guy drove past, I mentioned him earlier, ...

Wanderer

Hoi! Hier vind je Wanderer's reisdagboek. Na 10 jaar studeren was het hoog tijd om er eens voor lange tijd tussenuit te gaan en even helemaal tot mezelf te komen. Mijn reis begint met een kort bezoek aan een penvriend en een museum in Parijs, hierna reis ik door voor een maand vrijwilligerswerk in Taizé. Maar de échte reis begint pas daarna: 800 km. lopen, van St.Jean-Pied-de-Port naar Santiago de Compostella.
