Great Job! Especially with the hills and the rain. You did it!! I am watching and cheering you on

Expect the unexpected, that was my Camino experience. Ran into 60-70% of rain along the journey last year, and two lightning thunderstorms along the way. Walking in lightning thunderstorms could be scary especially in the middle of nowhere and alone. Hope you have a wonderful and safe journey on the Camino. Buen Camino!

The beds/acco looks great! And yoga stretches must be helpful after all that walking.

Thank you for this video! I’ll start walking on 9/6. Hope to see you along the way! Buen Camino!

I love watching your journey and am so proud of you! I'm so glad that the view cleared up and you could see the stunning view 😍. I really want to walk the Frances next year!

Fabulous - above the clouds! Accommodations so far look pretty good - I'm trying to imagine doing this with my two 11 year olds... (they can top and tail in a bed if need be!) Love the unusual perspectives like - in the grass for yoga - keep doing you x

[@billkrueger9305]

so sorry your first day was so wet...the views are truly spectacular. We stayed at Borda 2 years ago, and had a wonderful stay. Laurent is a wonderful host!

[@robertspears2178]

We will be about 10 days behind you starting in SJPDP. You've got this!

[@sarahcaldwell5884]

Love watching this! I wonder if I will see you on the Camino--my husband and I are leaving the end of September to walk Sarria to Santiago. (starting walking around the 27th-28th). Thank you for sharing your journey and your packing and travels there. Buen Camino!

[@Walkwith_M]

@@sarahcaldwell5884 oh wow we might meet!!

🌻Buen Camino 🌻 The length of the Camino hiking does not kill, but the speed kills, so remember to take breaks when your body requires it! Remember to take rest days from walking too. I am planning my 6th Camino this autumn or next spring or summer 2025. So beautiful view 😍

[@annetcell-ly4571]

Wow! What an introduction -rain and mist on your first day! I was shocked when you ditched your top! But someone probably needed it more than you🙂 You can always buy a rain cover. I’m so surprised you had the energy to run at the end. Did they know what “ hoof it” means? So Aussie. Aaaww No views. Oh well… next time.

And so it begins… Enjoy 😊
