About to recommence my camino again. From Ribedesella I took 1 full day out..yesterday...and had a great look around. I needed to decide on the Norte or Primativo routes as well as plan this 2nd half of the camino.
I saw some of the lovely country side around this area...did quite a bit of walking and enjoying some time out.
The cycle of rise, walk, breakfast, walk, arrive, prep for next day, dinner, sleep, rise is quite all encompassing and I needed some time out from it.
Somd time by quiet and peaceful rivers, quiet walks, eating at a restaurant off the menu instead of peregrino menu has been most refreshing.
The couple of days have also allowed my 'training' to continue. ..it would be disastrous to not walk at all for a whole day. These rest days can turn out to be anywhere from 5 to 15km but without a bag. Just bliss.
I have jettisoned a few more clothes and gear..some to a friend some to be posted. ..still dropping the pack weight.
I forgot the day of the week..it's Sunday now and I missed posting a few things home yesterday morning so I will carry them until I see a postoffice tomorrow or Tuesday.
Camino del Norte won...so I am carrying a bit more food..next 50 km has limited stops for eating but no worries.
So I am about to hit the trail again. .Camino del Norte...picking it up from the outskirts of Gijon.
Missing NZ friends, home, school, camino friends who have left for home, matt and the girls. You can all work out the correct order for yourselves.
But I am really enjoying this journey and it's challenges, it unexpected surprises as well as what it is teaching me abour myself.
Buen camino amigos...wherever you are traveling.
