What do you do when…
I read a very interesting discussion on the pilgrim forum today, originally instigated by my blogging (and Camino Mozárabe) pal Clare. You can find her blog here. The title is ‘What do you do when you cannot walk anymore?’ check … Continue reading
New year, new plans…

Last day – Split
Another early morning for me. As much before seven as I can make it out the door, which isn’t usually very much! There is no other sign of life at the hostel when I leave. I wander along the Riva … Continue reading

Korčula old town to Vela Luka
I was up bright and early again this morning, thinking I would catch the sunrise without too much effort involved. I had a bit of a shock to find the weather had changed and was now presenting low grey cloud … Continue reading

A day on the ocean waves…
…except it’s a sea, not an ocean and there are absolutely no waves, it’s as calm as a mill pond. Much as I have enjoyed my evenings amongst the ancient buildings and narrow alleyways of Dubrovnik, I am not enjoying … Continue reading

A day in Dubrovnik
Well, this evening my legs feel as though I’ve been in a gym all day, working out on a stair master. My day started early. I was awake at 06:00 and out of the door by 06:30 – it was … Continue reading

Listen and learn
Who knew? (A lot of you probably, but not me.) Already three weeks since the sudden end to my camino and I am still using a crutch to get around. Three weeks!! At first I thought I would be fit … Continue reading
