Join me for a few Peaceful Moments! I make short films offering a few mindful, relaxing minutes while enjoying a vista or activity of some kind, sometimes with music, sometimes not. Coming to you from British Columbia, Canada - from further afield when that is possible. Posting new videos on Mondays and Wednesdays usually - Fridays too if I have more content!
Good question. Caliper is longer and has a nicer ski out, but there are a couple of ski lift towers to avoid. Bon Diablo is shorter and hits the ski way pretty hard. I prefer Caliper 😊
Lucky...We did the 7:00 pilgrims mass the day we arrived, but they didn't do it. The next day after the noon mass, we went and did the walk behind the altar up to the bust of St. James.They did it at the noon mass as we could still see and smell the incense. I must say, I've been to a number of Cathedrals in France, Italy and England but I have never experienced a place that left me feeling like I was 2 steps from heaven. I can only imagine what it must have been like for a pilgrim entering and seeing it 500 years ago. The history of the Botafumeiro is really interesting. Bom Camino. 😇
I'm in tears as I write this. The last day was bittersweet as I was ready to finish the journey and ready to do it all over again. Thanks for sharing your journey as I really appreciate your format. Having photos helps me remember, but watching your videos really refresh's the journey for me. Like the journey I was always anticipating your next video. 🙂
Truly, thank you so much for following along and your comments. I have enjoyed reliving my Camino through these videos and I am hoping to do another one - and to maybe see you out there. Bon Camino!
Our longest day was from Caldes de Reis to Capellania, about 26km. The interesting thing is, while walking through the woods, I was wondering if Redwood trees would grow there. Living in the Redwoods on the north coast of California, the climate and terrain are very similar. As luck would have it, we were heading to dinner and just around the corner from the hotel was a nice coastal Redwood tree. About 32 inches across and 70-80 feet tall. Put a smile on my face.
What a nice route. We were curious about it. Thanks for sharing. We went north from Pontevedra to Barro and Portas to Caldas de Reis. Beautiful day. The anticipation gets stronger when you get below 40 km.
Actually we want to do that route the next time, because you know it's not a matter of if, it's when.We're also planning a slower pace, doing 10 miles a day and taking more time for exploring.🙂@@peacefulmoments386
I loved that section, so calm and peaceful. We stayed at the Bulezen Urban Hostel just around the the corner from the church. Just as luck would have it, it was the opening ceremony for the World Triathlon Championship Finals. The plaza around the church was full of athletes from all over the world. There was music and a parade.
Your path was interesting as we went inland to Vigo. We stayed at the Hotel Coia de Vigo. We walked through the city and picked up the camino again at the Parque de Castrelos to Redondela.
Hi there. Probably to do with this which I added to the description: I somehow managed to crack the protective glass on my GoPro in Viano do Castelo. This is apparent on all the films I made on this trip from Viano onwards. I have since fixed the issue!
Thanks for sharing. We were walking the Camino at the same time. Looking for the arrows was part of the journey as we missed them a couple of times due to being overwhelmed with the scenery. And yes, to say it was life changing doesn't even come close. Looking forward to the rest of your videos.
La stazione di S.M.N. fu inaugurata negli anni 30, fu Mussolini che la volle così, per quel periodo era una costruzione avveneristica, è stata la prima stazione al mondo a avere l' orologio digitale.
Grazie per il commento. Translated: The S.M.N. station was inaugurated in the 1930s, it was Mussolini who wanted it that way, for that period it was a futuristic construction, it was the first station in the world to have a digital clock.
how did you know where to catch the bus and which bus to take? I plan to travel to Baden Baden next year. I want to fly to frankfurt then take train to baden baden. Is there a train to frankfurt airport?
Hi there - I would say it is a little too far to walk. A taxi cost about 30 Euros but the bus is far cheaper and very efficient. You can find out which bus to take at the train station.
Hi there. I took a train to and from Baden-Baden. I went from Basel to Baden-Baden and it cost 22 Euros. I went from Baden-Baden to Marburg and that cost about 40 Euros via Frankfurt!
