London








We've had a fantastic week in London staying with Brad & Rose, two of the most wonderful people in the world.

We've visited a few of the main sights (Avebury, Stonehenge, Brighton Pier, Camden Markets, etc), but mainly we've been catching up with Brad & Rose, meeting their friends, and exploring the food side of things... which is exactly how I wanted to spend the time. Rose is about 7 months preggers and she looks soooooo cute! They'll be almost due to have their bambino by the time Hannah & I finish the Camino and come back.

Today we're having an admin day, as tomorrow we travel to the Camino's starting point. It's a flight from London to Biarritz; a bus from Biarritz to Bayonne; a train from Bayonne to Saint Jean Pied De Port. (Google maps link)

From there, it's all on foot until we hit Santiago de Compostela. Here's the GoogleMaps link for the walking route.

Oh, if anyone is familiar with Dr Karl Kruszelnicki (AKA Dr Karl) from Australia, he started the Camino about a week ago too. Here's his Camino blog. From what I understand, he's walking with his wife, two children and his parents-in-law. Wow!

Anyway, gotta shoot off... lots to organise today. :-)
