Camino Blog – Day 36

Welcome to this Camino Blog. If you are new it might be best to start with the introduction. Otherwise, carry on.
Location: Pedrouzo

Distance: 19.6km – 756.4km total.

Weather: Fog for most of the walk so once again found myself humming brothers in arms for long stretches. Has burned off now.

Terrain: Another easy day. The track is pretty well formed to cope with the number of people.

Physical condition:Okay but my hip decided that we had finished yesterday and is playing up. I am pretty sure that there is heaps of psycho-somatic things going on here.

Accommodation: Another nice place but the alburges have definitely got larger and more commercially focused now to cope with the number of people

Other: Things are pretty busy. Not overwealmingly so, but you know you are part of a phenomenon.

We are also expecting to meet up with quite a few people today as various itineraries seem to be coming together. Might be an interesting day/night

SB 12: Everything will be made new

-You will make everything new

-I will make everything new

So tomorrow I die, hopefully figuratively, so this SB feels quite relevant today. There is a lot of expectation around arriving at Santiago, most of which will not be met. However, it is difficult not to have some thought that tomorrow could be potentially significant in some way.

At least it will be strange to know that you won’t have to walk on the next day!

At any rate, for us this is the end of this particular bit of life and we will leave this walk behind. We have been doing this for so long that seems a bit strange.

I am also unsure if this will my last post in this series or not. If so, thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed them.

It may not be completely relevant (although in some ways it is) but since it has been on my mind today I will leave you with the following (note – I think you have to be in website to see YouTube clips)
