”Alternative lifestyle” would be the perfect description of how we work, but more importantly how we play/travel. Work hard, play/travel harder, comes to mind when I think about out privileged, alternative lifestyle which allows us opportunities that most other people could either not afford, nor would have the time to do.
Our story of the Camino started about 9 months ago when Marelize said to me she saw the movie called “The Way” (The Way: Link to movie and official movie website, posted below). Admittedly I did not pay much attention but added it to my “Bucket list”. We were planning our annual holiday and decided to go to Portugal this year (2012). As the year progressed, some of the plans we had for the Portugal holiday disintegrated. We had another discussion, and decided there is no moment like the present, and that the Camino would form part of our 4 weeks holiday this year in September, with the ultimate goal of finishing the pilgrimage on Marelize’s birthday, on the 22nd September.
So… the usual years of planning and research into the Camino by most other pilgrims were compressed into less than six months before we arrive in Lisbon, Portugal on the 12th September. To complicate matters further our departure point will not be “Our Beloved Country” and city, Cape Town, but on 12 August already when we depart for work to Angola and Mongolia respectively.
Today, less than a month from our planned date of completion, we would like you to join us, on our walk of the Camino, the Way of St. James, from Cape Town to Camino
Buen Camino
