Oh my goodness we are over half way along our Camino journey- and what a journey it is! We haven’t told you about the “ stamps” yet! If a pilgrim starts the walk to Santiago de Compostela anywhere between St Jean Pied de Port in France and Sarria in Galicia, he or she is entitled …

Despite a late night ( or even early morning- we got into bed at 1.15!!), we are now up, ablutioned, breakfasted and raring to go at 8am on the dot. We’ve already met Manuel serving breakfast so today will be good,and only a 25% chance of rain allegedly
Last minute or what?
