De captivants à banals, les articles et photographies de “The Baguette” sont une tentative de publier un journal de ma vie dans la Manche et de proposer un forum de discussion pour tout ce qui touche à la Normandie.

Saturday, May 11, 2013 -- Padrón to Santiago de Compostela Well I guess it is time to finish up these postings on my Camino that I took in May. I’m sorry for not writing more often but I no longer seem to feel up to the task of keeping The Baguette going...

Friday, May 10, 2013 -- Caldas da Reis to Padrón It was a wonderful day for walking. I was full of energy and walked alone most of the day until reaching Padrón. In Carracedo we found a nice place called the Cafe Esperon where we had coffee and sandwiches....

Thursday, May 9, 2013 -- Pontevedra to Caldas da Reis We left town at around 07h00 and had a very nice walk over the Puente del Burgo and through the deserted town of Santa Maria de Alba. We passed quite a few interesting old hórreos along the way. In...

Wednesday, May 8, 2013 -- Redondela to Pontevedra The three guys in the top bunks snored all night long. It was just awful. To make matters worse, I had to keep getting up to use the bathroom. Too many drinks last night ? Although I could have slept a...

Tuesday, May 7, 2013 -- Valença to Redondela It wasn’t yet raining and I desperately wanted to arrive in Tui, across the bridge separating Portugal from Spain before the skies opened up. I don’t think this was on the minds of my other companions as they...

Monday, May 6, 2013 -- Ponte de Lima to Valença The path out of town was nice and fairly easy to follow but I still managed to get turned around several times—almost walking over a bridge that wasn't even in the guidebook before I realized that I was...

Sunday, May 5, 2013 -- Tamel S. Pedro Fins to Ponte de Lima I started walking with Andreas and Frank this morning but I parted ways with them at the Ponte das Tábuas along one of the most awful parts of the Camino path in order to visit the Sanctuary...

Saturday, May 4, 2013 -- Sâo Pedro de Rates to Tamel S. Pedro Fins Well, none of us slept well last night. The beds where too small and my feet kept touching the end, cars drove up and down the busy street just outside the albergue and several people...

Friday, May 3, 2013 -- Lavra to Sâo Pedro de Rates I think all of us slept very well last night. Tommy was nice enough to go into the village and buy all of us croissants for breakfast. It’s always good to have something to eat before hiking. Together,...

Thursday, May 2, 2013 -- Porto to Lavra I slept very well last night even though I wasn’t very sleepy. Perhaps that is because I got a shower before turning in. We all got up around 06h30 and got our things together before heading downstairs for breakfast...
