Day 32: Arzúa to O Pedrouzo

The forecast was for early morning rain, and sure enough early in the morning it was raining. I had plenty of time today, so I waited for it to stop. Except I didn't quite wait long enough, so poncho on (always tricky), walk in light rain for a while, then poncho off!
Today continued with up and down on wide forest paths. And since my accommodation last night was 3km further on than the 'standard' town to stop st, there were slightly fewer peregrinos around (once I passed a bunch leaving my town)
My albergue was at the west end of town, and the path out of Arzúa was a path not a road, so it was rather nice skipping the usual boring bit out of town

No doubt you're sick of all the photos of walks through the forest, but I like them (walks not photos), so...
Note the firebreaks between the stands of eucalyptus trees. Eucalyptus is particularly flammable because of the eucalyptus oil, as perhaps you'd expect
I passed this marker just before entering O Pedrouzo, so was it tempting to walk another 20km today straight into Santiago? Yes it was a little bit. But the easy walk tomorrow morning will be nice
I've noticed a distinct increase in the number of Camino souvenir shops...
...and the number of Camino tattoo shops...
...catering for the peregrinos. Everything's got just a little more touristy as we've got closer to Santiago. Except they're all closed today (Sunday), as are all the supermarkets. Only things open are the bar/cafés

The start of the way

Not long now before I put my pilgrim hat on and start walking. Overweight and under-trained, which is a bit of a worry as I shortly start an 800km walk along the Camino Frances from St Jean-Pied-de-Port in the south of France, over the Pyrenees, and across Spain to Santiago de Compostela.  If all goes well, I'll continue on to the end of the earth (a place called Finisterre, where the Romans thought the world ended) on the west coast of Spain - all up close to 900km Somewhat daunted by the prospect, not just by walking 25-30km day after day after day in the Spanish heat, but by the extended time away from family My flight leaves Wellington next Monday, 20 April

Day 7: Logroño to Nájera

Image
I had an early start today; some kind person got up and started packing at 4:45 am, and thought the rest of us would like to join him. I lay awake for long enough to know that I wasn't going back to sleep, so decided to pack up my bed and walk I had planned to take a short or maybe even a zero day, but the early start in the rain persuaded me to just keep moving (it was quite cold). A bit of manual navigation required in the dark added to the fun, since a pedestrian bridge on The Way was closed I quite like the stylised camino shell used in this region First village,  Navarrete: Just before my morning coffee and tortilla de patata, I had my gold fix for the day at the Iglesia de Santa María de la Asunción in Navarrete. I'm in three minds about this one: is it gaudy or godly or just goldy? [Sorry, not sure if that needs to be rotated on your screen. The video looks impressive, but I can't work out how to embed it...

Border controls

It's not quite so much fun traveling to the other side of the world without my favorite traveling partner, Sue. Apart from everything else, she probably would have solved my navigation problems at the airport in Paris. I got through arrivals security ok using the new automated passport controls. Then missed a turn and went through departures security (oops), and then got stuck - the automated passport machines refused my re-entry. So I had to go in another long queue to go through the manual border control. All's well that ends well, so I had a day wandering the Paris streets... ... and a lot of waiting around, before boarding the overnight train to Bayonne, with just a short train ride in the morning to St Jean Pied-de-Port
