Great journey. I did the same walk in Sep/Oct 2023 and it was not difficult even at 57.5 years of age. The mostly good weather I encountered made all the difference. Met only one HK person on the way. Planning my next camino right now for 2024.
I won't fall for any of them, I'm very stingy with my money and if you grab me, best believe they'll be problems! I don't believe anyone in the street and if necessary I'll ask up to 5 people to know what's up. One time I had to go into a pharmacy business because I didn't believe anyone, the pharmacy technician helped us by stopping a city bus and directing the bus driver where we wanted to go and he took us there! Be aware!!!
