A Brief Report In My Latest Camino.

[sandyRoe]

Hazlinny,

I did, just arrived home last night.

A bit of background.  My Camino friend recently retired, at 60, and he saw an opportunity to walk the entire thing in one go. Unfortunately , during his training rambles he injured a tendon.  His partner wasn't as fit as she might have been, and I felt as though I'd never walk any distance again.

So we agreed to walk from Sarria to Santiago, a mere 112km rather than the long walk of 800km.

The guide books suggest around 20km each day but that would have been too much for us.  We'd book two nights in a town and walk about 7km until we reached a cafe/bar where we could phone a taxi to take us back to our starting point.  The next day another taxi to where we'd stopped and continue the walking, having booked accommodation in the next town.

It was a very slow Camino but I was proud of myself that I'd managed it.  My friends must have felt the same.

They must have been happy to see all the support they got from on-line friends.

I think Portugal.   You might get "Turkey tummy" in the other!

The Lycian way in Turkey is beautiful Hazlinny and there are a few specialist companies who organise walks. Mr T did it a few years ago. So long as you avoid the big hotels in the Antalya area with massive buffets and zero food safety measures you should be OK.

Well done Sandy 👏 , I'm so pleased that you have managed to complete another Camino. Walking is great for both the mind and the body, rather than sitting at home.  Your previous narrative about your first Camino was very informative for those of us who haven't been able to experience the journey ourselves.

Well done, Sandy!  I didn't know that you'd been off on another walk.  You've got some more good memories from this one, I'll guess 🙂

After some of your posts Sandy, this sounds like a big step forward.

Well done!!

Oh well done Sandy and welcome back 👏

I think Sandy must be having a nice deserved rest.

Well done.

When my new Camino buddy talked about Turkey next time she wasn't thinking of a walk there. I think she had in mind a decent hotel with a pool somewhere near a beach.

At the moment if I was offered the choice of another Camino or a luxury hotel I don't know which I'd choose.

After reading all the replies, does anybody know why I feel sick?

[sandyRoe]

No.  Why?
