Author Archives: A meetup on the coast of northern Spain with our two Basque overlander friends, Josu and Ana, wasn’t just a fun reunion. It also helped to illuminate some of our early experiences in Spain, including: our visit to Pamplona, the Basque festival we accidentally crashed in Durango, our overnight in the fishing village of Lekeitio, and our jaunt to Basque Country’s biggest city, Bilbao.  The continuing saga of our Camino de Santiago, including an update on the blister situation and a few new challenges. Included in this blog post is an explanation of why we stopped walking, afterthoughts on the journey, and whether or not we recommend walking the Camino. There are also a few practical tips for those preparing to become pilgrims, like useful websites, packing tips, dealing with albergues, and designing realistic daily steps.  In this blog entry, read about our early experiences as pilgrims walking the Camino. This post includes impressions, challenges, highlights, information on the “credencial del peregrino,” “albergues de donativo,” eating on the Camino, and what to do when blisters happen.  Bruno and I embarked on an unusual adventure for us: we became walking pilgrims on the ancient and infamous Camino de Santiago. In this blog post, learn about what the Camino is, why we decided to take the journey, how we prepared, and how we packed.  We’re not the only ones living a nomadic lifestyle in a home-on-wheels. Just meet fellow overlanders Frank and Sharon if you don’t believe me. We first met them a couple years ago in Uganda, but recently reconnected with them in Spain’s Pyrenees Mountains. They had some very exciting news to share with us! |
