Started the day at about 7am with a very steep road to climb. Its always good to start the day with a climb as the mornings are always cold and what better way to get the heart started. Came across a wire fence that people make crosses out of sticks and put on the fence. It goes for quite a way.....Met Pep at lunch time and he walked with us for the rest of the day. On some of the road signs there is a little black ant. I am not sure why so I gave Pep some homework to do......find out why the ant is there.....havent had a answer to the question yet. Walked to Torres del Rio which is 8ks further than we had planned....It was a very long extra 8km was good to ... read more

Started walking quite early around 7am. Met Pep a 35yr old policeman from Barcelona the night before. He is walking the Camino for 2 weeks. We all got talking and the next day he ended up walking with us. Its good to have someone that speaks the language as Jacqui and I keeped asking him questions and getting him to read signs. We had some very heavy rains during the day. Our rain coat that we wear has a hat and covers all our backpack and us. Jacqui looks like Darth Vader in her´s as it is black....You will get to see photos....but they work really well and have been used heaps. Most of the day was walking up and down hills. Our biggest climb was on a very muddy slippery track up to The Hill ... read more

Walked to Arre today.....was a easier walk only drizzling but still the hill´s. Jacqui has said that we do get to some straight roads eventually called the Massetta. I have to believe her.....If nothing else we are getting fit. We stopped on the side of the road and ate yesterdays bread rolls and 4 day old muffins for lunch....true pilgrims. When we entered Arre´s we had to walk over a 2000 old bridge....It just blows my mind away at the age of everything and of course the camera came out...infact it doesn't stay in the pocket for long...the world I am walking in is so completely different to the one I am use to....Where ever I look I see some thing that is hundreds of year olds.....Makes me so aware of how young Australia is as ... read more

Woke up early to start our 2nd day. Still takes us a while to pack up the backpacks am sure we will get the hang of it and get quicker. We all had coffee and Muffins which Nere had bought from the shop the day before for breakfast. The standard breakfast offered is normally fresh fruit yoghurt muffins crossonts dry toast with butter and jam. coffee which is always luke warm and mostly milk. Ole started walking before us then Nere. The weather was cold but the sun was shining. We had some drizzle of rain enough for us to try out our rain coats. The scenery is amazing so green and hilly. We spent most of the day climbing up and up. We walked past so many rivers and creeks. Little waterfalls from the side ... read more

Caught a bus from Dwayne and Jules at about 4.30am to go to Euro rail to catch a train to Paris.
