Spectacular
😇
Awesome Video!
I googled to find where Sardinia is... and it is Italian Island, right ? I always love drone video. but I don't do that. Thank you 💖
Très belle vidéo au top 😉
Sardinia I haven't visited yet. You have shot a lot of videos. I felt like a place created by volcanic activity. The scenery where the colors of the rocks on the coast are completely different is rare (^^ ♪
I’ve heard freezing it helps with the taste also storing it in the freezer helps with bacteria build up
Wow.....und wofür soll das gut sein?
i have been here its the most peacefull kayaking experience i ever had id love to go there again
Yes it's a beautiful place can't wait to do another trip :)
Look’s like a great time!! Beautiful rock faces along the river! I really appreciate the fact that you segued into the “leave no trace” principle as well.
Awesome video! Well done. Love the drone shots and the amazing scenery. Crow
Thank you so much love your channel as weel makes me travel abroad :)
Nice video. You have a wonderful weekend. Stay safe.
Thanks love your channel as well makes me travel :)
Blisters are avoidable, but you need to take a lot of care of your feet. If you follow some basic rules, then blister management is more comfortable: 1. Priority is proper fitting of footwear, so that there are no "pinch points" that could cause rubbing. Rubbing = friction = heat = blister. Allow for feet swelling slightly too, which is normal when walking large distances everyday. 2. Keep feet dry. Often people, including myself, opt for "waterproof" footwear such as Goretex, but this will make most people's feet sweat and therefore feet become hot and damp: wet skin = soft skin = weak skin = blisters. I found it better to use more breathable footwear to allow cooling and moisture to evaporate and escape. Changing socks regularly (every 2 to 3 hours, depending on conditions: so once, twice or three times per day) & using talc to keep feet dry, was a method that worked for me. I tried the vaseline approach first, but this just made my feet sweat more. Vaseline is good to use after walking, before going to bed especially to restore skin and massage the feet to say thanks for putting up with you all day! 3. Stop walking immediately when you feel a "hot spot", don't wait. Look at feet for signs of friction or humidity. Dry and apply tape on "hot spots" - there are various types of "foot tape" available. Proprietary "blister pads" like "Compeed" don't work very well in my experience, they can also damage the skin when you try to remove them (best to wait for them to fall off). 4. If blisters get large they can stop you walking, cause you to take several days rest or even end your Camino if they become infected. Don't let it get to that stage. 5. Most people will get several small, but manageable blisters, you get used to them and they are not so bad. They will soon heal up if you look after them properly. 6. Blisters are not the main concern, there are other stress injuries that you need to be aware of and know how to recognise them and deal with them: shin splints are common - usually caused by walking too far, too quickly, too soon. Calf strain, ankle, knee and heel problems are also common - consider using walking poles, especially over the more hilly terrain. Above all, take it easy at first, go at YOUR pace, not that of your newly acquired Camino buddies. Allow the body to build up and adapt to the daily routine of long distance walking. 7. Pack weight is also a significant factor that can lead to uncomfortable and painful injuries. As a general rule, don't carry more than 10% of your body weight, ideally less, the less the better. But carrying in excess of 10% is asking for problems for the majority of people. If you have trained with more, under Camino conditions, then maybe you'll be OK.
Your videos are over far too soon.
I really, really hope you get a chance to complete your walk. More so, for your videos are wonderful. Love the content; and love your taste in music.
Thank you so much for you nice comment I will publish more soon :)
I'm going to start from Bordeaux the 8th of June, can someone please tell me if i need to pay attention (talking about covid) while passing the porder France-Spain? I already know about the test for reaching Bordeaux, do i need another one for Spain? Sorry for the broken English
The border is open, no patrols, it's part of the EU. It's possible that you might be asked for proof of vaccination or a PCR negative test to be allowed into albergue or hotels. But it's not clear if this is being enforced or policed. Spain wants tourists, so they probably won't cause you any problems.
Interesting video. I was wondering, is the other water bladder, that you are testing a Deuter? The mouth piece looked like it. If it is, what do you think of it so far? Was thinking about getting one.
Thanks for sharing ! This is one of my favorite parts--I crossed over from the GR65 and went up to St Palais from Aroue in September 2017, and then down to Larceveau. I had mostly good weather except leaving from Larceveau and again arriving in St Jean Pied-de-Port. I do, very much remember the climb up to the chapelle de Soyarza ! Photos do not do it justice... hahaha
Buen camino, Diane! You were super brave with Covid-wp and camping. I did the camino frances in 2010. I visited Bordeaux but took a train to Bayonne and then a bus to St Jean Pied du Port where I started. I will do it again from Le Puy en Valey when we have a chance in the future. Thanks for sharing your experience.
The water in the cenote is so clear. What a cool experience. So glad we can live through your dive, as we are nervous to try.
Yes it's an incredible experience even if you don't do scuba diving it's also incredible snorkeling. Hope you have the chance to exprience it :)
This looks incredible🐸
Thanks guys you should totally try it !
Very strong to keep your feet moving with all that tain!!!
Thanks Stephen Yes the first week was really hard but still I was motivated to continue my camino 😆
Cool wreck to explore
Thank you so much yes and I loved entering the engine room but I went without a torch so I don't have any footage .... Loved your channel just became I new subscriber
What route are you on?
The route I did in France is called Tours Route or Via Turonensis. It starts in Paris up until Saint Jean Pied de Port. FYI in France there is 6 official routes to Santiago
What town was it with the Esso gas ⛽
Hi it was in France in the Basque Country part the name of the village was Bergouey Villeneuve.😉 Are you planning to the camino ?
Nice I didn't know that you can make camp on the camino
Hi J yes it s possible, it's not legal but it's completly tolerated. I was sleeping 1 times a week in an albergue on average so completly feasible. I will probably do a video about it explaining how it works if people are interested :)
Just watched the 1st 3 episodes of your Camino. Really looking forward to watching your series.
Thank you so much John I am working on Episode n°4 :)
Cool spot! Glad that crazy fisherman didn’t get swept out to sea.
Yes it's an incredible spot if you are in the South of France don't hesitate to hike it :)
HELP -- is part 4 coming soon? Anxiously awaiting the next installments ... :-)
So cool. It’s amazing how the ocean takes back a wreck and transforms it and gives it new life.
Enjoyed your video. Did you camp most nights?
Thank you so much Guys :) Yes on average I would say that I was camping 6 nights per week and 1 in an albergue or airbnb

Hi there Very nice video, once Covid19 is gone I am planning to do el Camino as well. Question, when doing the Camino, is it allowed to camp in France and Spain? Also are there tent camps available or just put the tent wherever we believe is a good place to? Merci
Hi Reinaldo. It depends where you are living currently and if you are willing to adjust you plan and camp most of the way. If the border are not closed you can do the camino but you might have to adjust your plan :)
@@dianesvoyages-english hola, gracias por tu respuesta, vi que también hablas español, mi pregunta es necesitas algún tipo de permiso para acampar en el camino en Francia, España o Portugal?

Hello Diane, I have enjoyed your first video along the route - Is Bordeaux close to your home town or was it a journey to get there? Best of luck along the route, and buen camino!
Thanks a lot for your comment yes Bordeaux is the closest town to mine that was on the camino. I followed the tradition and almost left from my home :)
Nice movie again, like the past two installments!

Thanks a lot yes can't wait to do another one !
Thanks, nice :-) You are giving me hope to do a camino in 2021. We followed a camino (starting with the Via Scandinavica) in 2020 from the baltic sea to the south west of Germany in 2020, by bycicle. The next step would be to get through France to SJPdP or Irun this year. Well, if and when we receive a vaccination. All the best to you. Will there be videos from your way through Spain?
Thanks a lot Ruediger for your comment. Did you published video from you trip on the Via Scandinavica ? Yes I have to finalized the videos in my Camino in Spain I will try to publish the first one this week 😊
@@dianesvoyages-english I did take videos and photos, of course, on all our caminos (we also did two along the "del Norte" in 2018 and 2019. I even had the intention of making them into a TH-cam video, as I often enjoy videos such as the one you did. Unfortunately i have found that a) my picture-taking skills are not up to the task (think of a camera attached to the bicycle with lots of background noise and random movement) and b) cleaning this mess up would take more time than I can afford. Hence, also from this perspectice, thanks a lot for putting this much work into the videos!
Thank you so much for your kind comment. Wahooo you already are a pro regarding the different camino. How the one "del Norte" ? I am currently thinking about doing it this summer if Spain allows tourists again ....Moreover my video are not perfect but I am trying to improve and Yes I agree it takes forever to make a video.
@@dianesvoyages-english Re Camino del Norte: I have no comparison with the Camino Frances, but from the videos I have seen I would say the "del Norte" is really less crowded, and the landscape is similarly stunning. It seems to have about 30% more altitude to cover, due to the coastal mountains (which bring a lot of rain), and is a few kilometer longer. I had chosen it mostly due to a book I had read about someone who did this by bicycle, with two kids in a bicycle trailer of 60 kg (IIRC the kids were 1 and 4 years old). So I gathered that doing this with my (in 2018) 10 year old, but already rather grown-up daughter on her mountain bike should also be possible. In 2018, we started in San Sebastian, but "jumped" some parts to cover the distance to Santiago in the three available weeks of her school holiday. We did about 450 km in the end. We have then done the same again, but over the full distance of 850 km in 2019. We have always tried to stay on the main camino, which can be a challenge sometimes (think about fallen trees across a rocky path), but was also real fun and an adventure, which has brought us closer together. We are still talking about the "mud of Markina Xemain". Maybe not of interest to you as a hiker, but we have also found cycling on streets to be perfectly possible, when needed. First of all, Spanish drivers were very considerate, and often stopped to offer directions or give advice. And our daughter got "standing ovations" when cycling up a mountain (I did not get the same attention :-) ). And as the coastal autoroute is free of charge and runs close to an older country road, very few cars pass the older road. The expectation to swim in the sea often did not come true -- we were rarely in a place where this was possible, and in the evening, after a day on mountain paths, going down to the sea did not seem to be very desirable. We just wanted to rest. The community was strong on both occasions (think of 20 people from 10 countries singing "wind of change" by the Scorpions, while a Russian and an American play the guitars ...). All in all, I (and I believe my daughter) got addicted to "the Camino", and we were heartbroken when 2020 would not allow us to try another route in France or Spain. So that's why we did a German Camino, which has also turned out to be beautiful (albeit less "stunning" than the one in Spain or France, I would say). Regarding your question: yes, I can wholeheartedly recommend the "del Norte". Ultreia, Rüdiger
Beautiful episode full of a lot of nature (the rain has not been lacking) and animals like the kitten that wanted to go to Santiago de Compostela 05:00. Follow El Buen Camino ✌️💙
Thanks again for following closely my adventures guys 😊 Can't wait to see your new videos as well
