Is there a part 6? 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Oh my goodness the architecture is amazing and the painting on the ceilings. I’d love to know all the history behind this place.. so happy for you.
I kept waiting for the flat tire!!! 😮
So it’s taken me this long to get a chance to watch these. It’s absolutely amazing thus far and I can’t thank you enough. I can’t help but think.. Go pro and Donkeys! Someone get these folks a go pro and 2 donkeys! 😂 What a journey and only on day 6 I think…. Wow!
It would have cost less than 5€ to transport your cart over the mountain .....I bet you'd have paid 50€ when you were half way up .
You're supposed to fill up your shell so others can share the wine.
Would help to know where to where you all are walking and staying.
In my introduction video (part 1) I explained what kind of videos I would be sharing. These are not tour guide videos. I have that stated in the description box of each video but I do show signs of the villages along the way in the videos, and end with a quick verbal description if needed. If you need a guide video there are hundreds on youtube of this same route. Type in yt search "camino de santiago guide" and choose from there. We watched a few of them, as we were training for this walk, and some were helpful to us. Also helpful is the book called "A Pilgrim's Guide to the Camino de Santiago" it was our bible along the way. I hope that helps!
Right on. Tell your viewers to watch at 1080 it looks really good.
thanks! I want to do the walk all over just to take better videos and get my drone up but, you know, lol ugh!!
So cool. Loved seeing the bull scratching his head.
Beautiful scenery and colors. You took really good videos. The adventure of a lifetime!
Thank you very much!
I love the corset ties on your dress for the wedding. And so excited to watch this video. I walked from St Jean to Logroño about 20 years ago. My feet gave our but I swore I’d finish it some day. Life took me in a different direction but I love the part that I did do and I’m going to enjoy watching your videos. So much that I remember.
Thank you very much! I actually want to do it again, now with some grasp of what we'd be facing, I could take some super cool videos, lol I really wanted to share so much but it was a bit overwhelming at times to film. What amazing memories I have and I'm grateful for what I did get on video. I'm happy for you that you got some of the camino in your memories too! It really doesn't matter if anyone finishes it or not, it's the memories you take with you from the part that you did that matters most.
Fantastic! You certainly saw some treasures. Those wonderful storage places cut into the side of the hill. And that lovely little ‘chapel’. Beautiful. I can understand why you sometimes kept pinching yourself to make sure it was real!
I feel extremely grateful to have experienced the Camino and all that I saw in Spain. I can't wait to go again! We're thinking about taking the Portuguese route next time... it'll be a yr or so from now
Beautiful Sharon. Thank you for sharing your trip. ❤
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Awesome Countryside and Villages! ❤❤❤
Thank you for taking us with you! What a beautiful world we live in.
It really is a beautiful world! And thank you for watching :)
Really love your trip and the wonderful scenes you captured! Eye candy everywhere and such beautiful vistas!
Thank you so much! I'm happy to know you enjoyed the video, that means a lot :)
Could you tell us in which town you are?
thanks for asking! I stated at the beginning where we left from and we walked through 4 to 5 villages a day, in the videos you'll see some of those village names on markers along the way. I put info in the pinned comment or look in the description box where the Camino started, which route we took.
I loved the flower pots on the wall. I find it interesting that there are hardly any people in the towns you visit. So blissfully quiet.
It was eerie walking through, what seemed to be, "ghost towns" but in reality they were just sleeping, lol In these little villages in Spain they call it "siesta" that's when they sleep the hottest part of the day away. That includes businesses too.
I love this. I have a soft spot for beautiful doors and architecture and theres so much on your trip. I know some of this will translate into your gnome homes. ♥️♥️
oh my, I took so many photos of the doors! lol I just love them and the windows, the frames, the old wood with the chipped paint made my heart skip a beat ♥️
You said it right at the beginning of the video - Spain doesn’t have any bad views! Beautiful.
There were even gnomes - not as cute as yours though! Still more fabulous scenery. Sorry about the knee. I hope it improved eventually. Get yourself some poles before your next adventure. They help a lot.
I am extremely grateful that John knew how to tape it up, and even though I kept using it, each day it got a little better. It took about a week or so to be able to walk without pain. And those Gnomes made me smile, they were a surprise!
What a wonderful adventure! The little cart was a great idea. Still hard work but, hopefully, not as hard on your backs. The scenery looks amazing.
it really was! And yeah, that cart saved us both.. me especially for sure. I'm forever grateful to that guy of mine! We occasionally had to carry our packs and every time we did we fell more in love with the cart, lol
You're def braver than I am my friend! I'd be lost and crying (and melted, I can't stand heat lol)
ohhh I can't stand the heat myself! To beat the real bad hot days we would get up at 5am and be on the trail by 5:30. But, there were still a few days we got caught in the thick of it.. ugh lol
That is so pretty and quite an adventure, I'd be petrified though of walking through high bushes in fear of snakes, you are braver than I am lol
I never thought about snakes but I did think about ticks.. I don't even know if ticks are an issue in Spain but I was still worried about that. A few times I did also worry about being completely alone in the middle of nowhere. How would we call for help? But John and I grew up in the wilderness together, where help would be at least a day away, so I think that helped a lot.. it was kind of like home in a way lol
@@sharonojala2.0 Oh yes, ticks, those are bad too... when I see tall grass I think snakes immediately lol I was also going to coming on the being alone in the middle of "no-where" but I'm glad you mentioned it So happy you got to experience (and enjoyed the experience)
Spain is so beautiful! What a great way to see it!
absolutely!
WOW what an adventure. Thanks for taking us along.
you're welcome and thank you so much :)
The cart was a brilliant idea! This was a trip of a lifetime Sharon. Everything is so beautiful. I love the old architecture. Thank you for sharing. 😄❤👍🏻 Taupey 🐈⬛/Tracy Jaunzemis
it really was! I'm still a bit shocked that I was able to explore Europe like I did.. it's just an amazing experience with wonderful memories. Thanks for taking the time to comment, I really appreciate it ❤
So beautiful 😍😍😍
Spain seems like West Virginia, all hills and mountains. I have a knee that can manage going up but screams going down the other side. I use a hiking staff but I want to get ski poles for hiking that I see a lot of Appalachian Trail hikers using. You all are my heros. I am loving this armchair hike that you are taking us on.
the going down hills was the worst, and there are nothing but hills in Spain, lol I saw a lot of those poles along the way too.. I'm glad you are enjoying the videos :)
Did you ever camp? Or did you stay in hostel type places each night and eat at little cafes along the way? I went backpacking in the wilderness. No cell reception so we didn't even bring heavy phones. We had one person in our group of 10 with a satellite phone, one person trained in Wilderness First Aid, someone carrying the big first aid kit. The satellite phone only worked at certain times of day and certain geographical regions. So if anyone would have gotten injured, it could have been 2 days before help could arrive. Bear and rattlesnake country, and we saw both. I got hiking poles and I'm so glad I did, had to learn how to use them, even my son wanted some by the time we were done. I also have a questionable knee from a prior injury, so I wore a knee brace to fortify that knee. It reminded me to be aware of that leg, kept it warmer etc. My son also wanted knee braces by the time we were done. He was 12. It was hard to feel so away from society, because we saw lots of people on the trail each day.
we never camped along the Camino. Most Albergues were very cheap to stay in, some included a meal, all included a shower. At the end of the day it would have been a lot of effort to set up camp but we did have camping gear along just in case of emergency. I did have a knee brace but it seemed to aggravate the issue so John taped it up with sports tape and that did the trick. He's a first responder (fire fighter) so I had the best companion to walk with in case of injuries. We debated bringing poles. I did try out some on the way, briefly, from another "Pilgrim" who wanted to see if that would help my knee but poles take time to get used to like you said. Some days we would see people walking and then other days we were all alone. Great experience though, I definitely want to do another Camino one day.
@@sharonojala2.0 lol, I was SO awkward with poles at first, thinking too much. But they saved me, once quite literally from face planting at 12,000 feet elevation. Waved around wildly in the air until landing and I think I sprained my ankle a little, wore hiking boots and kept going. Stopped for lunch by a pool of water snow melt runoff. Went wading in there to apply "ice". Seemed to help. The stars were amazing in the wilderness. It is somewhat comforting to hike where you still have phone reception though. And being away from that, you feel more like you're alone out there. Loved the vending machine with medical supplies. We had to pack everything with us. Nowhere to buy anything. No toilets, no showers. Can't even use CampSuds to wash anything because it pollutes the ground there. Only hand sanitizer was allowed
Of course you find gnomes! Broke me mountain! Ha! What an amazing adventure! That’s so awesome that man set up refreshments for people doing the trail. I love seeing the beautiful countryside. Thanks for sharing!
thank you so much and thank you for watching!
So fun an exciting! I love Spain. It’s so beautiful. The architecture is stunning! Please do a video about what you wore, shoes, etc, or recommend for those thinking of doing this. What would you do differently, pack…..thanks!
at the end I might just do a video talking about that, I hate making promises just in case something keeps me from it but I will try :) And thank you!!
I really appreciate you taking us along on this amazing journey. John is an intrepid cart hauler. Those rocks made parts of the trail look reall treacherous. And fording the stream takes me back to driving up to some hiking places near me. Did you have time to adjust to the altitude? Amazing trip!
no, I never really adjusted to it.. on the days we climbed mountains I definitely felt the pressure in my chest, quicker breathing and all that goes with it, but nothing I couldn't handle for sure. It seems all of Spain was on a giant hill, lol all the villages were on hills for sure, some higher than others. And yes, amazing trip! We want to do another Camino one day but next time we're thinking through Portugal!
That was so awesome, thank you for sharing your journey Sharon, i especially love the part of the cemetary with the creaking gate 😊❤
Thank you so much! if you enjoyed that, there is another video coming, after the Camino videos, where I walk through a historical, 13 acre, cemetery in Nottingham. It was amazing!
Wow nice scenery. That little cart thing is pretty great.
the scenery was mind blowing! And thanks, the cart continued to make life easier for us as we travelled after the Camino too.
What a great post to wake up to! Many many congratulations to you both! You did it! And then, came home and looked amazing in the wedding shots. Can't wait for more!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate the kind words. Yes, we made it! I still can't believe we walked across Spain, never in a million years would I imagine myself doing that but now I want to do another Camino.. lol
👍😉👍
👍😉👍
Perhaps you will make a mountain and little houses and such out of silver foil and paper towels with small horses. 😉
I have so much inspiration from this trip, I'm already working a floor and some stonework into the nw tree build.
