Through the haze of travel today, everything came into focus when I looked at my freshly stamped pilgrims passport. I'm still not really sure why I am doing this Camino, I'm not overly religious however I do think it will be good for me, I get too comfortable in ruts and need take a big jump to see the life outside. After flying over Spain today without a cloud in the sky I started to get a understanding of the distance I'm undertaken. Coming from jersey its strange to see endless land without sea or an ocean bordering it.
One day at a time will be my mantra, today was full of worries and doubts, for the most part it was if I was going to see my rucksack again. Perhaps my concern was inflated as the pack contained every thing i needed, or at least what I thought i needed. There was a more relaxed me, saying well "you have money, and your national passport", I could fit myself out with sleeping bag a change of clothes and a few odds and ends for under 100 euros, okay i would not have a camera, and the sundry other gadgets i´ve stuffed my bag with. But I could still do the camino, and without 13.5 kg on my back which was a pleasing thought, then I reminded myself it was my little ladie´s camera so was ultimatly glad to see my bag emerge from the baggage reclaim.
Twitters aside, I would expect Leon will be the next time I will definately post to the site, that´s 177 km away, i should have some interesting things to say by them, aww, ahhh and an Apocalypes Now "The horror !" spring to mind.
