Hello from Canada Nadine. Life is way too short for bad coffee. I am loving this series.
Life is DEFINITELY way too short for bad coffee!!
Hello Nadine
Popping on here to say Thank You to YOU
Have just returned from walking for 3 months in Spain and Portugal. Did about 1 500km in total. 5 Caminos (France from SJPDP to Santiago, carried on to Muxia and Finistrre , Down to Porto (by bus), Portuguese Central to Santiago, , bussed to Ferrol and did the Ingles, then bussed to from Santiago. i missed the turn off for the Spiritual Variant, so went back to Valencea and made sure I got the right turn off to do the short Portuguese Spiritual Variant. thank You for the inspiration and motivation in making the possible for me to Walk.
Life changing and I want to do more........
L\Kind Regard

Amazing, I'm so happy to hear about your Camino!! You did it! What a journey that must have been.... life changing, as you said. So, so wonderful to hear :)
I walked this “way” with 2 other American senior women in 2017. I agree the Stubbes ( lodging) are so cozy, extremely clean and a bit more $ than albergues on the Camino. We started the end of May. We passed 2 or 3 waterfalls everyday cause the winter snow was melting. I am so excited to take this trek all over again with you!
Inside and outside so beautyful. I Love this Place.
The sheep just roam wild here and there's only minimal fencing, grates and such to keep them in a specific area. You'll also see cows and sometimes reindeer as well just roaming. They'll mostly ignore you unless they are really friendly. I had a flock of sheep follow me for 5km once.
When it comes to the electric-incinerating toilets they look more complex than they are. The first time I came across one I was so confused. However, for anyone watching that might come here and happen across one - just place in a bag, do your business/all toilet paper into the bag and then hit the button. It burns it all into an ash.
Absolutely Beauty
Coffee Crisis... averted... and a three toilet day! Auspicious! Yeah, these nordic cottages are very cute. Also smiling to see how your channel has grown subscriber-wise. Cheers and adventure on!
Wow! I love those pilgrim cottages. So cute!
I just couldn't get over how different and unique they all were! And so much attention to simple details, which I loved :)
The serenity seems intimidating to this city girl, but I am willing to give it a try, You make it all seem so easy, even wearing wet close and having a blister.
It looks like those 2 sheep from earlier in the walk had followed you! There was a gas station latte on the way out of Carrion de los Condes that saved me... we must be grateful for all coffee angels!
Hahaha, that Shell station! I was so grateful for the hot chocolate and hot dog on a rainy 30ish K day of hiking up in the fog along the road. Seems like there's more support, amenities available since 2017...all those toilets!
The Shell stations (and sometimes Circle K) were a lifesaver for me, especially on Sundays!!
And I'm sure there are definitely more toilets than in 2017 ;)
Nice. Love the honour system. You’ll find that on walks like the Island Walk, around PEI.
Civilisation. Well presented Nadine.
This is so cool! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. ❤ Love from Florida.
What an experience! Thank you for taking us along on your various Caminos!❤❤
(You are very fortunate, too - you are a very good looking person!)
I hope your blister gets better! ( I've seen in another Camino walker's journey that he said, mostly, that your pack is too heavy for your weight, and hence - blisters from the weight on your feet ?)
How peaceful this must have been compared to Camino! 😊
Omg, such a lovely camino. Love it😍
Norway is just Amazingly lush and gorgeous.... is there a app for this journey like they have for the Camino? Thanks for sharing Nadine. ♥♥♥
No app (that I know of anyway), but this is the website that many people use for planning: www.pilegrimsleden.no/en/
I used this to find accommodations, and to plan out my stages. I also referred to it while walking, at times, and used the GPS if I was a little confused about where to go.
@@NadineWalks Thank You Nadine!
This is all amazing. Unattended and yet safe and well appointed places and no trash or graffiti? I cannot imagine anything like these places in the United States.
Seriously, I can't either.
Just wow. Btw, have you tried Starbucks instant cafe via? I take it backpacking. It’s not bad and it comes in sachets (expensive and plastic waste) or cans that you can repack in a ziplock. Way better than Nescafé
Yes! I actually almost always bring along the sachets of the instant via, but this time I bought the can and repacked it in a ziplock... and the coffee was awful! (or, at least it was for me, for whatever reason I could barely drink it. It's definitely different that the VIA instant). I don't mind the via sachets, so in the future I'll just continue with those!
Plenty of solitude this way. Where have all the Norwegians gone? Who was in that car - Swedes? Lovely pictures. Lots of vitality in every corner of the landscape. Too bad all the Norwegians have been abducted by aliens!
Would tent camping be an option, so one wouldn't have to walk longer distances in a day & not strictly depend on huts/hostels to stay in?
You can hike and camp practically everywhere in all of Scandinavia...it's the 'right to roam' in English. Just don't pitch in someone's back yard etc, be respectful, leave no trace. Break it up based on how you're feeling. Just know that it's gonna be WET a lot and potentially very buggy. If you can deal with that and carrying a heavier pack with camping stuff, it might be for you to carry a tent, sleeping mat and the like. You will be carrying food for several days at a time on the Pigrimsleden/Gudbrandsdahlen, so adding camping stuff can leave you with a quite heavy pack. Lots to think about! The days on this route are typically waaaay tougher than on many Camino routes, not much support. If you hike x miles/hour as a rule, to be real, divide that in half ~ on the P. It's way shorter, but tends to take longer.

Yep, I've hiked/camped/packed food on long distance trails in wet conditions. Have lightweight gear but still, the extra weight is the price that's paid. Thanks for your response.👍
Twenty Five Kill me Ters?
