My St. Olavsleden Pilgrimage

Pilgrims
You have a choice of pilgrimages with Norway or Spain. I look forward to your choice!

Japanese pilgrimages
Go for it! I've become acquainted with the pilgrimages in Japan as a consequence of my other pilgrimages. Many Japanese also walk the Camino de Santiago because of that connection.

Response to yur questions
Thanks for reading my blog and for your comments. Here are some answers to you questions: 1. Along the way I stayed mostly at farmhouses where the bedding and towels were provided by the host at a nominal cost. I did so to meet Norwegian families. Also not having to carry bedding and towels lightened the load in my backpack. 2. I ate dinner and breakfasts with the families other than when I arrived late after the family had eaten. In that case, the host still prepared my dinner and we talked while I ate. 3. As with my Camino Frances experience, I washed the clothes that I wore that day by hand in a sink. The only exception was when I stayed at a hotel in Verdal where they washed and dried all my clothes for a nominal cost. 4. At the beginning in Stiklestadt and the end at Trondheim, I ate at restaurants with other pilgrims. Finding a place to buy food at lunchtime on the way was impossible as I was mostly in the middle of nowhere. For those days, the farm hosts would pack me lunch. One exception was Levanger, where I ate at a restaurant. On another day, I was resting near a house where a lady was doing her gardening. We talked and she invited me into her home where I met her husband. We talked about their trips to the US. I was served Norwegian pancakes! 5. I was able to use Wi-Fi at every location, and to charge my batteries. I didn't have a cell phone, but was able to borrow from people passing by when necessary. 6. Rooms averaged 400kr/night and 3 meals/day also averaged 400kr in 2017. 7. I got more than enough to eat! The food was delicious! I wish you the best on your pilgrimage!
