Just got back from dropping the walkers off at the station. Miserable morning, dark and drizzly when we set off. They are renovating Agen station so no decent coffee, horrible loos and no train either. Their train was a bus.
Just heard that everything was on time and they are now happily munching at pork, ratatouille and chips with a carafe of red wine just about to meet up with friends from last time and all is brilliant. So pleased.
(This is my husband and his sister who have already walked 650 kilometres of the Camino de St Jacques de Campostelle between Le Puy en Valey and Aire sur L'Adour. They are off to finish the French bit to St Jean Pied de Port and then on to Pamplona, another 250 kilometres or so.) Ben if you see this before you go to see granny, and can print her off a copy, you will gain even more brownie points x
I hope they have better luck with the weather than this poor bloke...

I'm glad they didn't see this before they went!
DeleteGosh, that's a long way! The best of luck to them.
ReplyDeleteAn old friend of ours, who walks with a bad limp after childhood polio, is just now walking 100km of the Camino to raise money for the Polio Fellowship.
They are raising money for Alzheimers. Good luck to your friend, I'm sure he'll come back full of stories.
