Yesterday I completely forgot to tell you about this English family. When I saw the two little girls, I thought they were probably only doing the last 100 km. I thought to...

After 5 km I reached Sarria early in the morning. I already knew that some pilgrims start their journey here. I wasn't aware that it is mass tourism. Pilgrims kept coming from...

Last night I was freezing because 3 girls wanted to sleep with us. Since they didn't have sleeping mats, I borrowed my mat and rain tarp. There were no trees for the hammock...

The first day and I don't know what to write. So many experiences and many meters of altitude in one day. We started as a group and quickly spread out on the way. We were...

Um 5:30 aufgewacht und trotzdem super ausgeschlafen. Gestern Abend hatten wir noch mit einem Brasilianer gesprochen der 2015 seinen Camino gemacht hat. Er hat mich überredet die...

Until Bordeaux I had a great ride. Crazy French people were celebrating a wedding on the highway, climbing out of the car windows and blocking all 3 lanes. In Paris, we saw an...
