Should I stay or should I go?

22/08/2021

I know, I know. It covers my conundrum perfectly though. I have been mulling it over for ages now, pros and cons and hopes and dreams and worries and vaccines and all the new paperwork and flights constantly being changed, cancelled and refunded. I would say I have been in two minds, but it’s more … More Should I stay or should I go?

New travel advice for Spain

13/03/2020

This was in 2020, during the pandemic, no travel restrictions anymore! These areas are basically the ones I was going to, so it’s game over for me for May. If you are worried about travel, precautions, options etc, please follow the advice of government bodies and authorities like the WHO and don’t take social media … More New travel advice for Spain

CF Day 17 – Sahagún to Reliegos

15/02/2019

But it wasn’t over. It seemed the camino flu had rested too, and now it returned with a vengeance! I woke up in a cold sweat at stupid early in the morning, with a blistering headache and a dreadful feeling that something was seriously wrong. I tried to drink water but couldn’t hold it down, … More CF Day 17 – Sahagún to Reliegos

CF Day 16 – Ledigos to Sahagún

13/02/2019

After a quick breakfast of café con leche, Aquarius and some bread and jamón, we made our way out in the dusk. I did feel better, though not great, and attributed it to going more or less without food for two days and having the camino flu. I loved being back on the road again … More CF Day 16 – Ledigos to Sahagún

CF Day 15 – Carrion to Ledigos

12/02/2019

After a mostly sleepless night, spent mostly in the bathroom, I knew for certain that I was not well. Camino flu, albergue fever, whatever you call it (like norovirus), I had it. No way could I manage 17 kms with no place to rest and no facilities. The Scouse Spouse went off into the dusk … More CF Day 15 – Carrion to Ledigos

CF Day 14 – Boadilla to Carrion de los Condes

10/02/2019

I really don’t like walking in the dark. In the dusk I can do, so I can see my shadow slowly forming in front of me and try in vain to photograph the sunrise, but not in the dark, when you can’t see the ground or the landscape. Don’t like walking by flashlight either. But … More CF Day 14 – Boadilla to Carrion de los Condes
