Kudos to the spanish railroad organisation, Renfe.
This is traveling at its best.
Deutsche Bahn could learn a lot from those services here. Movies on a train! Space for legs. Seats for everyone!
Arrived in Leon..i got lost.. what a good start for my camino. I couldn’t find the monastery. But here I am. Feels already home. I know this place..very familiar. But not the people. Last time, I knew mostly all of them. Had a lot of fun reading my old journal. it seems so distant and far away..yet so close.
Is it possible for me, to know some of those pilgrims better, even after only 3 weeks. 5 weeks were not enough to have any closer contacts in 2006. Maybe this time..who knows at ths point?
And now, a girl starts playing the flute..silence her!
Make the music stop!
I got the inca sound from the train station in Madrid in my head.

Those spanish trains look really hilarious.

The room, where 50 male pilgrims have to sleep is hot and humid. They seperate here men and women. Only couples can stay together. I wonder, how many of those „couples“ are actually married..and how many have just found themselves on the way.

Spain has won. 0:1 against Germany.
But there is an interessting docu about San Fermin on TV. I switched between those 2 Programms..
and heard Madrid scream and shout after that one tiny goal. This will be a relaxed camino:))
I feel strange, starting this journey in such comfort.
Yeah, not really, the seats on the airplane were very tight packed. Lucky me, I reserved one on the aisle. More room for my feet!
Arriving in Madrid, 38°C at the airport. It’s going to stay that warm..that will be interesting.
The Hotel is pure luxus.
(For me as a pilgrim at least)
Axor Feria, I think. Couldn’t really remember that name.
Now I have to pack my backpack in the right order..
Don’t know, where to sleep tomorrow, hope those nuns will give me shelter;)
Provisioning has to be improved..
[This is going to be so awesome, reading my old journal..always about provisioning:))]
And here’s the picture of the 2 laziest pilgrims:

Beginning from today, I will publish my journal of this years camino.
The header is start and finish point.
Bold are date, distance, time and earned/drunken beer.
A Picture of me, starting to walk.
The log entry.
A picture of me, finished walking at that day.
A Picture of the 2 laziest pirlgrims on this planet: Ente and Teddy. Always in the alberques on bed.
Prepare yourself for some boring days;)

During my second camino, it occured to my, that I got something of a celebrity status in spain.
Just look at that magazine:
