Camino de Santiago de Compostela
It is like walking in a daisy field, the Camino de Santiago de Compostela I did not plan to walk the Camino de Santiago de Compostela, neither did my mom. It was in the spur-of-the-moment that we decided. 14 Days later we left Cape Town International Airport heading for Madrid, Spain. We started our pilgrimage route from Burgos. We had to make the best of the 2 weeks even if we did not do any research. I bought a small pocket map with the main route on it. No accommodation was booked and with a small back pack and extra pair of underwear, trouser and t-shirt in. After breakfast me…
Mexico, quite the opposite than what expected

As we arrived we entered a cave filled with Buddhas and monks. This is a Buddhist temple one of the most sacred Buddhist sites in Thailand. There is also a tiger paw print inside that is well known. After visiting the cave there is a strenuous flight of stairs to reach the summit. There is only one staircase with 1237 steps uphill and remember, what goes up must come down. We all decided to climb the stairs…
