Well, sitting here at home, it seems strange to be here. A lot of men say their wives don't understand them. I'm lucky, mine dose, probably better than I do, and without her none of it would have been possible. Has it changed me? Not sure. I suppose family and friends will tell me that, but I feel much the same person as when I left. Although it was a pillgrim route, for me it was not a pillgrimage. I went to see the sights and enjoy the walking with an open mind and thought it might change my outlook on religion. Infact what it has done is to reinforce what I already felt. I have met some very kind people who have gone out of their way to help, or have given us food and drink. I have also met people who are not so nice. In both cases they have been a mixture of religious and none religeous people. The Camino has been discribed as a " get out of hell free card" my feelings are. Just because you go to churcuh, it dosen't make you a christian.
       All in all I've had a great time. The places I've seen and the people I've met have been amazing. They say the camera never lies, but the photos don't do justice to the scenary, at times it was just breath taking. I've stayed in all sorts of places, from a preists garden and a convent, to a 4 star hotel it realy has been an experience. Would I do it again? Yes, to long distance walking, with some provisos. No to the Camino. The reason for that is the foot path in Spain is just an open sewer, the rubbish and the filth. If you could find a shady spot, it would have been used as a toilet. The bit I cant work out is, who dose it, the people I sat down and eat with in the evening, some must also be the people who abuse the countryside.
       Once I got to Santiago I was a bit torn. Part of me would have liked to turn left and go through Spain and down through Portugal. But the bigger part of me wanted to come home. What I have learnt is that I can do without a lot of the material things in life, and I do like life on the road, but most of all I missed my wife, family and friends. Like they say " Home is where the heart is"
        As for the kit, most of it lived up to expectation. I went through shoes quicker than I though I would and my spork broke, which was one of the most useful bits of kit. My sleeping bag was a bit on the thin side, in hindsight its better to carry a bit more weight and be warm. My solar pannel developed some dead spots, so in the end I had to buy a phone charger. My only real regret is I didn't have a better camera.
       Well thats it. Thanks for looking and all the comments. "Adios" as they  say
