Day 29 - T'was the night before Santiago...

One more sleeeeep!!!

Really trying to calm myself down but during course of the day and especially this evening I have become very excited.

Today worked out really well. Unintentionally I ended up walking most of the day alone which gave me plenty of thinking time. I mentally relived every day of my Camino and thought of everything I was grateful for and there was a lot of things. Just when I had got up to the current day I met Neringa and we had some sunshine as we walked through a beautiful section of woodland.


Our Albergue is very ambient. There is piped music throughout and earlier they were playing 'Nothing else matters' by Metallica, Gregorian chant style

I've enjoyed talking to people about what they thought about today. The mood will perhaps be even more reflective tomorrow.

I'm really trying not to have too many expectations for my arrival in Santiago but whatever happens I already have an awesome journey in the bag!

  2. I'm so excited for you, but I think you should just keep walking, cause I will really miss reading your blogs. I can't believe you're at the finish line, it seems to have gone so quickly - (to me, who hasn't been putting in any of the hard effort). Hope you have an amazing memorable final day!!!!

  3. Hi Jane, it's a while since I've seen you, (I'm a friend of mum and Ian and Sharon E-T). I found myself awake at 4am today and logged on to Facebook and saw a post from Carolyn White about your journey so I decided to check out your blog. It was the most fascinating and enthralling time I have spent reading in a long while. You have such an easy writing style which makes me want to read more. Needless to say it was daylight by the time I had finished and I felt both exhilaration and sadness for you as your epic journey comes to an end. I hope you have a great day today, you've certainly earned it! What now??

    1. Wow! Thank you! It's been an incredible experience and I'm so glad others have enjoyed it through the blog. I've just put up the arrival at Santiago and stayed tuned for the bonus trip I made with my two spare days!

    2. Ps. You should definitely consider doing even just a small section of the Camino if you can!
