We were delighted to make many friends, many of them for life.
By day four we had joined up with some delightful people and even earned ourselves a nickname of the Camino Famous Five - which was called after us all over the place.
Along with Janey, my sister in law (from Sussex, UK), and myself (BCN, España) the Camino Famous five included Sussi from Finland, Laila from Sweden and Kees from Holland. Incidentally Kees had walked all the way from Amsterdam, having start out months before the res of us. We spent almost 24/7 together and knew things about each other that we probably never should have. We bonded like family and were there for each other and when we went our separate ways cried buckets!
What a beautiful group! Will any of you be walking together again this year? Buen Camino.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great experience meeting these dear friends. This year I am walking with my sister in law again, and another friend, but alas the others won't be on our trail.

ReplyDeleteI have faith we will see our dear friends again- even if not in this lifetime (remember Ages?). And yes just leafing through my book can bring back floods of memories.
