Checking in at Perth International T1

All masked up and ready to go

Waiting now after putting pack , all neatly enclosed in a special bag, onto the loading trolley . Strangely quiet in this lounge , probably because it’s 9.30 on a Sunday night night and people headed to security and gate

Yes here they are .Just been through security . Once again checked. Do I look suspicious ? Maybe it’s those multi pocketed baggy walking pants .

Am off line at the moment as Doug has cleverly inserted our Spanish sim cards( maybe not so clever as we’ll discover they have run out when we use them in Madrid ) ? Anyway it seems like the writing is ok , not the photos

Bye from the airport lounge

Ha Have just checked onto the airport wifi and here it is . First blog on trip ,half hour before boarding .

Twin bags waiting

Stop the packing and unpacking: off tomorrow

I am looking forward to getting on that plane for Madrid tomorrow evening . One would think that after a few times packing for a long walk one would…… Like many caminophiles(?) I read the Camino forum and follow the travels of my Camino buddies along the various Spanish paths . I am always amazed at the talk of what to take , the detail of makes and weights .And the sometimes heated exchanges. Now I’m one of them again : pondering each packet of Panadol or nurefyn , wondering whether to take the antibiotics in case my tooth flares up, squeezing moisturiser and sun cream and walkers foot cream into smaller containers . Shall I take the thermal ? Shall I take the jeans that can be thrown away , as an extra as already have 2 walking pants . Am I crazy ?

All this is after the route planning , the essential accomodation booking .And the long hours spent deciding if that is the way we want to walk and what the weather might be like in June .

This evening as I walked along our beach to witness a spectacular sunset , the sun glowing orange and the first stars visible above a sea glistenimg and rumbling, I confess I did think about staying here, unmaking all those arrangements, settling back in.. And Albanese is the new Prime Minister……

All just so much chaff really . I’m off tomorrow “ready or not here I come “

Bye beach here . Hola Espana
Bye Baby Díaz .Be back soon to get to know you
See ya Baby Charlie soon
Off to walk the Camino Teresiano first
Beautiful Matilda

Experimenting with WordPress! Getting Ready for Camino No3

This was this morning , regular Friday walk North Freo to Cottesloe . 8km . We stop for coffee halfway ( which won’t be doing next week on the Teresiana) Wore my pack , and used sticks . Quite strange to be walking like this after 2 years . Trying out copying video made on Relive into blog so that I can use it to record the Spanish walking . Buen Camino to me !!
