She's Gone Walkabout

walkabout – a journey of one's choosing to satisfy the need to be somewhere else

Dubai airport. What a gem

Having a good nights sleep in a real bed, ahhh the joys of travel. Been in the air and on the road for nearly 40 hours. Had one big oops moment when Distracted Dave nearly did my Camino serious damage today. At the bus changeover in Soria on our way to Pamplona he pulled his backpack out from the jumble in the bus’s hold grabbed a black backpack and headed for the next bus. I threw David’s backpack into the hold and as Distracted Dave began trying to wedge ‘my backpack’ in the real owner was desperately trying to take it off him. Well it looked the same he countered. Well yes Distracted Dave they were both black. And she was taking the other bus so it would have been a huge oops. Why was he distracted? His mind was on other things like finding a toilet in The 10 minute changeover time as our bus didn’t come with the luxury of a toilet. In fact it had definitely seen better days.

Now the last leg of the journey but that can wait until tomorrow when we catch a bus from Pamplona to St Jean Pied de Port.
