Paris 3 | My Pilgrimages in Europe
https://valdaps.wordpress.com/2015/09/26/paris-3
My Pilgrimages in Europe. Adventures in Spain, Portugal and France. Dubai Airport →. September 26, 2015. Oh well, ‘in France do as the French do’ 🙂 Ok, not even the French do exactly like that, but you do see everyone around carrying a baguette home! And during my hiking, I tired of seeing baguettes sticking out of people’s backpacks! The tour went for the whole day (approx 9am to 5pm) but almost half of the time we’re lining up! This entry was posted in France. Dubai Airport →. Have a save trip home.

Ostabat | My Pilgrimages in Europe
https://valdaps.wordpress.com/2015/09/21/ostabat
My Pilgrimages in Europe. Adventures in Spain, Portugal and France. September 21, 2015. Today the walking was quite challenging, with lots of steep climbing on difficult, rocky terrain as well as steep descents, but all worthwhile. The views at the top of the hills were fabulous! A few pics taken on the way early morning:. Jean-Luc (French, on the right) and Michel (Canadian), two pilgrims I walked with on the first part of the route today:. A few other shots before approaching Larribar village (I think):.

Pomps | My Pilgrimages in Europe
https://valdaps.wordpress.com/2015/09/17/pomps
My Pilgrimages in Europe. Adventures in Spain, Portugal and France. September 17, 2015. Ok, first a few pics of the landscape on the way to Pomps (notice the snack sign warning us of a place with something to eat about a kilometer in advance! It’s not rare to have to walk more than 15km without anything between villages, so it’s nice to know we won’t starve for too long 🙂. Romanesque church in Fichous and Chapelle de Geus:. Cute street art in Geus and my quote for the day:. September 19, 2015 at 3:39 am.

Paris | My Pilgrimages in Europe
https://valdaps.wordpress.com/2015/09/24/paris-2
My Pilgrimages in Europe. Adventures in Spain, Portugal and France. Paris 2 →. September 24, 2015. Arrived in Paris yesterday just after 1pm, half an hour later than predicted due to some problem with the trains. Had left Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port super early, without breakfast, as the bus to Cambo Les Bains which connected to the trains departed at 5.56am! Chilly Paris, had to put my jumper on straight away. Or maybe was I feeling the cold just because there were no more long brisk walks to be had? Paris ...

https://valdaps.wordpress.com/2015/09/19/maslacq
My Pilgrimages in Europe. Adventures in Spain, Portugal and France. September 19, 2015. Marie-Anne and the Australian couple I’d met before, Bernadette and Ed, are also here. I had lost track of them and today we finally met again. They’re both from Perth, retired teachers. Nice to speak some English again for a change 🙂 The internet here is a bit slow, but I’ll try to upload some photos. Leaving Pomps at sunrise:. A few pics taken along the way where you can see the Pyrenees at a distance:. September 1...

Arzacq-Arraziguet | My Pilgrimages in Europe
https://valdaps.wordpress.com/2015/09/16/arzacq-arraziguet
My Pilgrimages in Europe. Adventures in Spain, Portugal and France. September 16, 2015. Worse than that is only if we have a fall (very easy to happen for people walking without poles over slippery mud) – then we could easily end up with several extra kilos of mud weight stuck to our clothes! Next a few shots of the Eglise de Sensacq, an 11th-century church formerly dedicated to St James. Notice the total immersion font for infants situated in the northwest corner of the church in one of the pics:. Fabul...

https://valdaps.wordpress.com/2015/10/17/perth-oxfam-traiblazer
My Pilgrimages in Europe. Adventures in Spain, Portugal and France. Bluff Knoll →. October 17, 2015. We covered 50Km in just under 17 hours in a very hot day and with very little shade! Started at 8am on Saturday and finished just before 1am on Sunday, but we completed the challenge with the team intact! We’re all very pleased with ourselves, and all for a great cause – help to end poverty and bring more justice to the world. The day we finished I thought to myself: “Never more! 50 kms is too much! Septe...

My Pilgrimages in Europe. Adventures in Spain, Portugal and France. November 1, 2015. First views of the ranges from the car. Views from our cabins. Michelle, Mark and I relaxing in front of our cabin the day before. We’re all still dry just before the walk. But it did get wet. Very wet, and muddy. Really wet, and muddy, and windy, and cold 🙂. Near the edge…. Weather warnings as we approach the top. We made it at the summit! This entry was posted in Australia. November 1, 2015 at 6:16 pm. Distraction an...
