Why mention miles when Europe uses km's ?


70,000 people this morning at The Shrine , Melbourne .
A very, very brisk morning , 4c
Wonderful atmosphere signifying peace and life.
80% were under 50 years of age.
Bundy and Milk in Young and Jacksons at 6.30am St Mike ........keeps these 66 year old bones mobile.

Leave tomorrow for Mont St Michel and walking to at least Bordeaux,750km, have to be home by 1/6
Keep well,
David

Altus BALI Sleeping bag liner
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
David,

In rural France on a Marne WW1 battlefield I, too, am watching dawn break, listening to birds wake and recalling that today is ANZAC day. ..May we who live in peace always remember. those who so valiantly served .

Have a safe and memorable journey.

I have been lucky enough to get two place at the ANZAC Dawn Service in Gallipoli next year for the 100 year event. My grandfather and great-grandfather were both there serving for the AIF. Now I prefer northern hemisphere yeast extract and flat warm beer.
 
More 2024 Camino Guides available
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Yes, today (in the states it is now Friday) is ANZAC Day!

My wife's great-grandfather (British Army) was at Gallipoli. He had already been involved in the Second Boer War.
He survived WW1 and then went on to be involved, as an Army officer, in the Iraq levies, WW2 and Palestine thereafter.
edit:
I should have added the obvious that because of the G-G father being at Gallipoli ANZAC day is always remembered here at this house in Hampshire.
Not, perhaps, as relevant but in addition my wife was born in Australia.

Hola/G'day Will - That will be a very special day for you and family members, although I am not sure how that small, special place will handle the crowds. I think I might go to NE France - Villers Bretonneux - where the Australian WWI memorial is situated. Cheers to all. M
