Excitement is growing with just 7
days to go before we board the plane!
The weather is lovely, training is going well, we’ve been clocking up
the kilometres walking local streets and National Park trails, going to the
gym, and we’ve been walking with our friends and fellow members of the
Tamborine Mountain Bushwalking Club. The
feeling now is, yes, we can do this!
We’re also excited to learn that a
fellow pilgrim from the USA, Hanna, who we befriended on the Spanish Camino,
will also be walking The Way of Le Puy at the same time as us. It’s going to be wonderful to meet up again and walk together for the first several days until
Hanna strides off over the horizon to continue on at her faster pace, as her
time on the Camino is limited compared to ours.
With our bags already packed,
there’s not much left to do this week except to stay fit and keep those legs
pumping.
The next blog entry should be
from somewhere in the vicinity of Le Puy, France. Au revoir!

Hello Wendy & Steve! My husband and I walked from Le Puy to SJPDP last fall, so I will enjoy following your blog and reminscing! We did the Camino Frances in 2012, and found this route to be a little more hilly, but also very beautiful. We recommend the Cele Valley varient if you have time. Enjoy, and Bon Chemin!!
ReplyDeleteHello Linda and Russ! Thank you for your comment and feedback. We do plan to walk the Cele Valley variant as we have heard that this is a lovely section. Any other helpful advice you can pass on would be gratefully accepted. Au revoir! Wendy
ReplyDeleteYou have probably read the important tips on the forum such as booking ahead and being prepared for the Sunday and Monday closures of restaurants and shops. MMDD is great for listing facilities in the towns so you will know if you need demi pension. I will be happy to answer any questions you might have while walking!
