[slideshow] The day has arrived. We make our final walk in to Santiago, to the church and collect our Compostela! I have mixed emotions; it is very exciting to be at this point, however when we arrive it will be the last day and that makes me sad. It […]
[slideshow] Another wonderful sleep in this incredible countryside. 6:45am still comes to early though. Breakfast was lovely and shortly after 9:00am were are on our way to walk. This is the last ‘long’ walking day as tomorrow is a short 7 or 8km into Santiago. Caryl and Jim jumped […]
Photos of our Journey I really didn’t want to get out of my very cosy bed this morning, but I managed to get ready and be down to breakfast in time. Jose, once again, out did himself with a fantastic breakfast. Many commented that it just couldn’t get any […]
Photos of our Journey Leisurely breakfast and then we are off on our walks. The keen and faster walkers walk right from the hotel for their 14km journey to the lunch stop. A couple of us start from the 7.5 mark and some of us at the 6km mark. […]
Photos of our Journey Up by 7:00am and downstairs for breakfast at 8:00am, van loaded and depart by 9:30am. This is the routine for the next 5 days. Yesterday we decided that we will call our tour the “Cushy Camino”. This morning at breakfast we met a group of […]

Photos of our Journey Just after 10:00 we gathered in the lobby with suitcases in hand, packed up the vans, took our group photo and we were off exactly on time at 10:30am. The drive to Astorga (250 km east of Santiago) was very pleasant and the scenery was magnificent! […]
[slideshow] Photos to come or go to Natural Trekking on Facebook. Around 3:30pm, I awoke and for the life of me couldn’t fall back to sleep – perhaps it was due to the noise level coming from the pub below! Around 5:00am, I gave up the battle and got […]
[slideshow] I slept like a baby until my alarm sounded at 8:00am. I have a food tour booked today so didn’t want to risk sleeping in! Lois W. (can you believe it, we have two Lois’s on the tour), Nichole, Sherry and Brian are meeting for breakfast and then […]
And we are off! Our British Airways flight departs Vancouver at 9:00pm and we begin our Camino. As with all international flights, the journey is long and tiring however time seemed to pass very quickly. Ruth, Helen and I had only 30 minutes to manoeuvre our connection through the maze […]
