Bericht van het blog van Peter, hoe het verder ging

We set off up the hill but progress was slow as we had to keep stopping for laugh breaks, that was a first for me, I don’t know about the other two.  We were at ease in each others company, we walked at the same pace, we talked of our families, our problems, our joys and sorrows, life in general, about everything.  I am sure we solved most of the worlds problems.  There were many laughs and a few tears,  not just from the ladies in the party.  Whenever you meet a new face on the Camino almost the first question is “where are you from?” When Hedwig and I were asked, the answer “Holland” or “England” would usually produce a polite smile and something like “Oh yes I was there once,” but when they asked Connie and got the answer “Namibia” the response was always “NAMIBIA, WOW!” with eyes wide like saucers and mouth open.   At that point we formed Team Namibia.  Even though we live in a democracy I was appointed to lead, but I don’t actually recall a vote! Hedwig was in the middle, as she insisted that as she was only walking 350km she was a “student peregrina,” and Connie was at the back as rear gunner to watch out for enemy cyclists, a bit of a problem sometimes on the Camino. This is how it stayed for the rest of the journey.
