Camino de Santiago
Topic: Europe
2007. Emma, Mick and I attempt the classic 600km walk. Well we only did about 100km with the help of the odd bus,taxi,donkey cart, whatever but at least our heart was in the right place. I don't know why but the locals kept on telling us we where going the wrong way. We ignored them, and ended up in France, which was not a bad result. Along the way we had the worlds worst Indian meal in Bilbo, Drank sangria in Barcalona, had 3 calls with a local taxi driver to convince him we really did want a cab because we couldn't be bothered walking up the hill, and walked through some charming Spanish villages that havent changed for 100's of years. If you stayed in the pilgrems hostels it was only about $10 for a meal and a bed. If you stayed at the Monesterys it was even cheaper, all you had to do was get up at five in the morning to say Hail Mary's for three hours. We stayed in the 80 Euro Hotel and slept in. After all we where on a holiday not a pilgramage. For the rest click the pic.
