6th of June – The Final Day | From Rua to Santiago
I’ve had a really peaceful day walking from Rua to Santiago. Right now I’m at Monte do Gozo (the hill of joy) and I can finally see Santiago below me. Just another 3 or 4 kilometers to go! I’m standing next to the two statues of the pilgrims, totally alone, not a sound except the wind and the tweeting birds.

7th of June – Exploring Santiago
Exploring Santiago de Compostela My feet needed a rest! So I spent the day making a few short outings to meet other Pilgrims for lunch, to visit the Cathedral a couple of times and to generally just soak up the atmosphere. But for some reason it does not...
8th of June – To the end of the world
After 36 hours relaxing and contemplating in Santiago, I thought it was time to visit the ocean. I had planned to walk to Finisterre after Santiago, but unfortunately time has run away from me and now I have to resort to a bus. I couldn’t leave this journey without a visit to what is for many pilgrims, the traditional end of the journey.
16th of June – Is Walking the Camino Selfish?
For those of you who’ve been following my blog, you’ll know that about three weeks into the Camino, I went through a bit of a low period, feeling that I was rather being selfish taking six weeks out. Why would I think that? I think for many reasons, not least of which was that I had left a lot of people back home covering for me at work, and also had left my wife behind to deal with some family matters.
19th of June – Post Camino Progress
After the Camino is Finished? I rather suspect that this is where the hard work starts. Putting those life lessons into practice. These thoughts were recorded about 10 days after reaching Santiago de Compostela, having walked the Camino Frances for 40 days. ...

Not Really a Pilgrim Menu A chance for a fancy meal in Bangkok with my wife Pat post Camino.
24th of June – Camino Revelations
OK, I said that I would share my Camino Revelations when I got to Santiago. I’m a bit late! But I’ve still been processing some things…. In a separate post later, I may share some of the more ‘Spiritual’ elements of my Camino. Not quite ‘burning bushes’ but it was close a few times! For now, I’ll talk about that whole issue of answers and questions. Early in my Camino I was searching for answers.
Camino Budget
One question that many people ask whilst planning their Camino revolves around budgets. How much do things cost and how much money do I need to take.
So I thought that I would share my budget as well as a few financial related tips. So here is my budget for the Camino Frances during May/June 2015. OK, first a disclaimer! You can probably walk your Camino on a budget of 25-30 Euros a day (as at 2015). That will mean staying in shared accommodation, eating cheap meals, picnic lunches, maybe doing some cooking yourself and so on.
