Hello and happy 2026!

Im heading out to Spain again in March for another Camino. TBH, I’m a little anxious this time.

There’s some long days ahead with lots less support than last time. Wonder how I’ll do?

That’s all for now

See you in Seville!

And just like that, I took a high speed train to madrid.

That train whisked a bunch of us hikers over the same ground, in 3 hours, that took us more than a month to walk. Amazing.

I’ll be here until my plane comes back on the 15th.

Probably take some day trips.

TTFN

It felt so strange not to get up and walk all day. I’m sure the feeling will pass lol.
