Day 32: st Guilhem-le-Desert - le Pouget c.27km
I slept okay and was out by 6.25.
Another girl arrived late in thr afternoon. She out her backpack on the top bunk and was not very careful with her chargers in the middle of the night, dropping...
Day 31: la Vacquaire-st-Martin-de-Castries - st Guilhem-le-Desert c.23km
The ground in the camping was unforgiving but I still slept most of the night. I need to come up with something to improve my sleeping mat.

My only reasonable option is just face my need to take a...

If I were anywhere else on the Camino I wouldn't even be thinking about getting...
Day 12 takes us to Santiago! Feels even hotter today to walk! We hand out a few of our badges to friends and head back to Santiago. The route and the city were very busy. We are looking forward to fireworks later. Jim is also looking forward to...
