    Back on the Via Francigena

    Yes, I keep a list. I am happy to share it with you. Send me a message in july, than we will have finished the French part. The accomodations vary a lot. Today we are in a (literally!) tiny house, tomorrow in a caravan. But we also stayed in a beautifully restored mansion, a beautiful...

    Back on the Via Francigena

    I bought this booklet but I used most of the times booking.com, airbnb and direct search on google maps. There is much more accomodation than is mentioned in this booklet. And also not all the info is accurate. But for places like donativos it is good.

    Backpack is 2 kg too heavy TwT

    Don’t take the 10%-rule too serious. I am 1,60 m and 62 kg. I have walked two camino’s with a backpack weight of 7 kg with no problem. Every hour I take the backpack off for a few minutes.

    Silly Stuff that you have Worn on Camino - Pics

    This was in Borda after a day of only rain, rain, rain. The left foot belongs to Maxine, who I met that day and who has become a dear friend of me. The right ‘elegant’ croc belongs to me.

    Duo Lingo or Something Else?

    I used Duolingo for a few months. At casa Fernanda I talked in Spanish with a spanish pilgrim who could (or would?) only speak spanish. We understood eachother! The main thing is not to be afraid to make mistakes. In may I will continue the via francigena, so now I am brushing up my French with...

    We walked from Pontevedra to Combarro 15 km, then to hospedaje rustico os castanos 15 km and than the last strech to Vilanova de Arousa 18 km.
