I hope you are all having a good weekend wherever you are. I have been taking it easy and quietly counting down the days. I bought my pilgrim passport from Camino Society Ireland and got my first few stamps. If you live in Ireland, I recommend getting your passport from them. You can pop into... Continue Reading →
I woke up this morning, and did what I do every morning - check my Instagram feed. Amongst my followers are many pilgrims who are in the midst of their Camino journey, there are others who are just finished and others who are just preparing. Looking through their photos re-energizes me and gives me food... Continue Reading →

It is very difficult to package 800 kilometres in 6 minutes, but he has done a good job of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XN5zhKMUKgY If you enjoyed this post let me know by hitting the ★Like button, and sharing...

While Santiago Cathedral is under refurbishment, pilgrims may look to other cathedrals for solace. While León Cathedral is undergoing work it is open to the public and I have always enjoyed visiting it. The same goes for Burgos and Astorga. It's been over 2 years since I have been to León and although I have... Continue Reading →
Hello everyone. I arrived back home on the 19th of May, having reached Santiago de Compostela on the 14th of May. For someone who is so used to the flat plain meseta, this was different, but not any less enjoyable. Galicia is a beautiful part of the world and there were times where my brother...
