Simon joins us for a wee walk in Spain. Stick Season is sung with a group of fifty youngsters. The Camino spirit is alive and well today!
Off Camino

A short 8km day was made much longer by a solo hike through remote hilly pathways to Caldas de Reis. Waterfalls galore! The gal was found as well as world whiskies in a bar. A certain fellow was picked up at the end of the day ….
Beating the Heat

Avoided the worst of a 29 deg day by arriving at midday and able to check in. Familiar folk reconnected with and a mixed bag with new folk. Simon arrives tomorrow - will St John proved wheels???
Swelling Numbers

As the pilgrim count increases, the breadth of experiences with them does too, good and bad. Wonder how the local population feels? I want to apologise sometimes, but we two still make the locals smile with our interactions….
Farewell to the Atlantic

While the gal transports herself to Arcade, I walk 30km, finally leaving the wild Atlantic (very calm this morning).
Cold Weather, Warm Hearts

We randomly meet some fabulous folk today, making the day rich. Cold weather but warm hearts.
Old and New Worlds Collide

In Baiona today. A linkage is found with Columbus and New World discoveries. Sea and sun and wind weave their magic …
After The “Deluge”

Skies turn blue after less rain than expected. Hijinks with umbrellas and whisky. Stress buster as we guarantee accommodation, as three Caminos will shortly intersect.
The Rain in Spain!

We missed most of the deluge by walking early and catching an earlier ferry to Spain. Lunch with random pilgrims while waiting to check in…

Eat drink and rest up on a useful day. Plans made to ditch gear and logistics for closer to Santiago
Decision to Down Tools - Viana do Castelo to Vila Praia de Aconda

A couple of hard days means an instant decision to stay two nights by the beach was easy to make…
Wet and Dry - Belhino to Viana do Castelo

Big day for the gal at 18km but she smoked it! In the rain to begin and a sunny late morning made for a pleasant entry into Viana do Castelo. 85km done!
Lows and Highs

A morning funk is washed away by walking - only 10km today. Wonderful hosts round out the day perfectly.

Birthday on the Camino - Vila Cha to Povoa do Varzim
Bring back the videos! Please😊
Patience Cookielover … :-) There are plans afoot…
@@KiwiOldManWalking awww ok
Congratulations Carolina and Phil. I love seeing you two hiking together again. Thanks for giving us a little taste of the Camino. Until our trails cross again, Happy Trails!!!
Thanks Gator! I’m very sure our paths will cross in the not too distant future…
Gorgeous and interesting at ~ 58 seconds into your video; where is that!???
Thanks for watching! They are the Barosa waterfalls (Fervenzas do Barosa), a few km south of Caldas de Reis.
Hey, Simon ist bei euch 👍 Liebe Grüße und noch eine schöne Wanderung 😊☀️👋
Es ist schön, für eine Weile mit Mama und Papa zusammen sein zu können
Hello Angelika! It is wonderful to have him with us!!!
Hola Compadres! Hopefully even that fat giant slug will make it to the end (a-la the tortoise and the hare, right?). Given the joy evident on your faces at having sung along with those Spanish kids, I (very bravely, or stupidly, depending on one's perspective of all things IT related) asked ChatGPT to write a song about the Camino ... which I expect you to perform (you may have several whiskies to oil the old vocal chords before ... perhaps not the Nikka or Kavalan but a grand Glen Turrett) when I next see you all: This is what ChatGPT came up with (I kid you not) "Write a camino song to the tune of stick season by Noah Kahan" - Cheers, Chris and Henrietta (Verse 1) Walking down the Camino, under the Spanish sun, Miles of dusty trails, where my journey’s just begun. With each step I’m finding peace, leaving worries behind, In the rhythm of my footsteps, a new perspective I find. (Chorus) Oh, on the Camino, where souls come to roam, Finding solace in the silence, far away from home. Every pilgrim has a story, every path a reason why, On this ancient pilgrimage, under the open sky. (Verse 2) Meeting strangers on the way, sharing tales of life’s surprise, Blisters on our weary feet, yet a twinkle in our eyes. From St. Jean to Santiago, a thousand miles unfold, Through valleys, mountains, and plains, our spirits are retold. (Chorus) Oh, on the Camino, where souls come to roam, Finding solace in the silence, far away from home. Every pilgrim has a story, every path a reason why, On this ancient pilgrimage, under the open sky. (Bridge) Through rain and sunshine, we persevere, Every stumble, every triumph, drawing near. The Camino calls, and we answer its song, In the camaraderie of pilgrims, we all belong. (Chorus) Oh, on the Camino, where souls come to roam, Finding solace in the silence, far away from home. Every pilgrim has a story, every path a reason why, On this ancient pilgrimage, under the open sky. (Outro) As we reach Santiago, our hearts full and wide, Carrying memories of the Camino, forever by our side. In the footsteps of many, we’ve found our own way, On this journey of the soul, we’ll cherish every day.
It is only you that I would like expect to combine Chat GPT with Noah Kahan. I am unsure of the rhythm - can you please send me an audio of you singing this so I may practice :-)
Should have claimed you wrote it yourself 😂
@@KiwiOldManWalking Ha, ha ... the chances of that happening would be the same as winning Lotto! Chris
Hola Phil, Carolina Y Simon!! And a grand welcome to Simon! What a great off the beaten track day .... Those waterfalls and cascades were simply the wonder of nature's canvas. Exquisite! Loved the funky hotel. ... and what a fortuitous stumbling upon a well-stocked whisky bar. Your impressions on the Nikka? Que ande ben a cabra! - Chris and Henri
The Nikka was twice the price but preferred the Kavallan. The Nikka had less body to it - quite a bitter aftertaste. It’s certainly grand to have youngest child walking with us…!
Making my debut 😂🎉
A star is born!!!
Yayayayayayyy
Hi there Phil and Carolina .... Very amusing and colourful episode, mate! Loved the wooden sculptures and the (very) witty amended STOP sign. Good to see you both so relaxed, mate. I guess one of the uncertainties about the (unplanned) crossing of paths with other travellers on the Camino is that one never knows what they might be carrying metaphorically on the inside ... sometimes they are open and sometimes they are closed books, right? ... and getting the synchronicity of openness in both parties going at the same time might be a conjuring trick too far. Give Simon a huge manly handshake from us when the lad arrives in your part of the world! Adios, Chris and Henrietta
Yes I must learn to be more accepting of the meetings with less amenable folk. We all walk our own Camino and some are more painful than others ….
Hola Amigo's! Really stunning photographs! ... and amazingly clean streams. I'm not too sure about who they used to translate that poem on the base of the sculpture - I think there may have been something lost in translation there - but I looked the guy up - quite a prodigious sculptor, often in metal. Time is ticking - we are edging closer to the big silver catapault in the sky - Happy walking and see you soon - Chris and Henri
Don’t overshoot the target with the catapult! Fly safe ….
Wow 2 videos in one day love ur vids of travelling keep it up!
Thanks for the comment Cookielover! Glad you are following…!
Bom Dia / Buenas Dias ... Flying Octupus??? I've heard of flying fish, even seen them as a kid on the boat to the UK .... you are a walking lightning rod for the Ripley's Believe it or Not top 10! Chris and Henri
It was certainly out of the X-File episodes when it happened. No idea what had hit me. The seagull flying overhead was vey keen for me to leave, funnily enough...
Bom Dia, Amigos! Darn - I didn't realise you were going through Viana do Castelo until I saw your video - I have a friend who lives there. Ah well ... such is life. I got to admit, the scenery is stunning and the videos are a treat - Gives one a real sense of being there (But we do miss the witty essays of the days of past caminos and trails, Pedro!). Cheers and safe travels, Chris and Henri 😎
Welcome back to the You Tube. Agree re the essays - it’s proving difficult to squeeze in daily ruminations into a 5 minute window. In the vernacular- Bugger re your friend. Would have been nice to have made the contact but hey, maybe next time :-)
Bom Dia, Pedro y Carolina! Good to see you guys on the Camino trail again. Sorry for the electronic absence from our side for awhile - but hopefully now sorted. Loved the video! Is there no end to your destructive powers, Pedro? - If you're not causing street lights to fail as you pass underneath, you're the nemesis of umbrellas! At least the whisky was a decent dram whatever the cost ... Happy Walking! Chris and Henri
Yes the quantity of the fluid saved the day but I really was just a semi innocent bystander, only instigating the whole thing with an almost off the cuff comment about shade. We had at one stage a fellow pilgrim, two staff and myself wrestling with the recalcitrant object, which smugly got its own back by noisily collapsing 5 minutes later. Needless to say, we left shortly after!
Glad the rain was short lived ❤
More today !
Free Port oooo yea
