I have enjoyed so much watching every day, anticipating the coming stage and remembering my Camino 8 years ago. I watch many of these videos. I loved yours particularly because it was always upbeat and positive. Not pretentious. Truly lovely. Thank you for sharing your video and loved ending each day hearing about your trip that day.

Well done. I did Frances 2019 and Covid stopped me twice since ty ty ty you’ll be missed from Wilcannia nsw

Congratulations Guys. Been following both of you for years, congratulations on a great achievement. I’m going to miss watching both of you while having breakfast, this year is a recovery year for me but I’ll be back on the Frances Camino next May. Thanks for sharing your lovely journey and take care. Cheers Tony. 🏃🏻‍♀️🚶🏼‍♂️🏃🏻‍♀️🚶🏼‍♂️

PS I cried too when you guys walked thru the arch.. It is so hard to describe but it’s a complicated sensation / combination of joy, gratitude, relief and also a bit of sadness that the journey is finished. I have the luxury of walking to yoga every morning and every single morning at 545 am, I pretend that I am on the Camino. And, of course, I am. I listen to the birds and the slow awakening of my little neighborhood and the light, the sounds, I could close my eyes and just as easily be in Granon or Punete la Reina or Rabinal…. Well done pilgrims ! Thank you so much for taking me with you.. It was lovely.

It is hard to describe but I think you captured the feeling well. Thanks for your comments.

Congratulations Michael and Lyn and your two Australian Camino buddies. Enjoy the elation of having achieved another Camino Francee. Your daily blogs have been fantastic. Rest and have a great time in Santiago. Do vist Rev Anna at the small chapel if you have time. Say hello to her for me.

Congratulations

If i ever get to enjoy a glass of wine with you guys on the trail, that would be as good as…. Enjoy the rest of your time in Santiago! It’s such a wonderful place. I rested up there for a few nights last year and I could not stay away from the cathedral square. Watching pilgrims arrive / finish is just so cool!

Well done guys, it was so good to relive it all through your videos👍 Best wishes…🍻

Congratulations, good job, both of you.

Great Effort. Michael, Lynne, Gordon and Louise. Have enjoyed the footage. I probably took A little too much pleasure, watching you walk through the freezing cold rain. I hope you enjoyed it, definitely an experience of a lifetime for Gordon and Louise, just another year for Michael and Lynne.

Congrats! My wife & I have followed you & Lynne (and Gordon and Louise) every day. We both got a little misty here in Kentucky watching your group arrive. We leave St. Jean on our first Camino on 8 September and your videos have greatly inspired us. Thank you, and Buen Camino.

Bittersweet. We loved following you. We are headed on the Frances in September. We have been on 5 other Camino routes. We are both 70 years young and everytime we finish we look for a new route! lol I love that you gave suggestions along the way. We have hesitated this route because of the crowds but you made it look like fun! Thank you

Have a great walk

Congrats to you guys ! I have so enjoyed following your journey of kindness and gratitude and your love of the Camino. Your little videos have been my coffee companions for the last 30 days or so and i have just soaked up the trail with you. I’ve only walked into Santiago 1x as my first Camino from St Jean ended in Burgos, but it is such a thrill. I can’t wait to be on the trail again next spring. With our group last year, we all hated to say goodbye to each other, so we decided we would always leave room for the next time we met up by saying “I will see you down the trail..”. I will see you guys down the trail! Peace and love and, of course, Buen Camino from Arizona, USA❤

Thanks to you both for sharing your journey with these videos. My friends the Hirshfelds recommended this to me. I’d hoped to be walking the Camino at this time but an illness means it will have to wait another year. Being able to walk beside you everyday has been amazing. Buen camino.

Well done and thanks for allowing me to revisit my three walks from SJPdP to SDC. You’re so right - it never gets old! I’m hoping to be back, but on the Portuguese Coastal, in 2025. I have watched you before and hope to again - your spirit, unfailing good humour and partnership are inspiring. Fellow Aussie here and for me the hardest part is the loooong flights to Europe each time. Any tips for dealing with those with good humour would be much appreciated!

@Michael_Matthias
