WESTBURYS CAMINO
Hi Ron, it was an amazing walk....tough at times but the walking sticks were really great.....my knee I twisted back in Dubai getting into my seat....very freaky and then when I got to Madrid and we had the day out at Toleda I went to take a photo and twisted it again....probably now worse than then...doctors appt on Monday arvo when we get home to get an x-ray. The beauty of the walk was Alltracks organised our accom for each night, transferred our luggage each day to the next hotel and our breakfast and dinner was included each day.....took all the think work out and wasting time looking for places.....there are so many walks ......met a guy who had done 1,000 klms over about 7 weeks....not our thing but very impressive....we all thought a week was long enough! Then just enjoy other things. We were very lucky with the weather on the walk....rain was forecast but we had none in the end. We are leaving San Sebastian tomorrow and heading to Pamplona...the running of the bulls place....staying in an old palace there! The weather has caught up with us....once we left Haro we drove through sleet, snow and rain like you wouldn't believe and have had two fine days here in San Sebatian but today rainy so a pretty lazy day today...long boozy lunch and checking out a few bars! Be home Monday, talk soon, love Glor xxx
