When we were planning this trip, Lex was considering some type of barrow, thinking I would not be able to carry my pack. We have seen several versions along the camino. Maybe something like this might have suited. But then, I think most days I have been ok with my pack, even though it is heavier than planned.
Spoke to someone at a stop today. They asked where we had started, and were amazed to hear that we have walked from St Jean Pied de Port, almost 800km. They had started at Sarria, just over 100km from Santiago, and their feet were suffering. I do remember suffering feet, but it is quite a distant memory. With all the 'light pack' walkers on the trail at the moment, I need to remind myself not to feel just a little smug.
We've been hoping to meet up again with a Canadian friend from the beginning of our camino, emailing him for the past few days checking on his progress. And amazingly, he also made it to O Pedrusa tonight, a mammoth 33km for him. So there are several of our camino family together for our last day and walk into Santiago tomorrow.
Less than 20km to our destination now. Hard to believe we are so close, and have walked almost 800km.
Great night out tonight with camino family. Have gained so much from this experience. Definitely blessed. Thank you all!
Notes to self.
- 24.5km Ribadiso to O Pedrusa
