    I really appreciate your courage and tenacity. It's a blend of enjoyment and sport at the same time, and you also show us the beauty of the villages you visit along your journey. Keep up the motivation and continue on this path 👌

    Awesome sceneries along the way as you cycle to Santiago de Compostela. You present both the interesting buildings and spots in each township, and the rural settings in between. Truly enjoyable to join you as you pedal towards your destination! Magnifico!

    great to see you back out there Kaat. And Poefi. I enjoyed coming along. It looks so beautiful. Great accomplishment, I imagine the wind makes it so hard and yes, wild camping can be a challenge. The canal did look great.

    • @StepsbyKaatje
      @StepsbyKaatje  Рік тому

      The Canal was one of my favorites! Beautiful and flat! 😁
      Just what I needed. I'm missing the Red River Gorge, but I should arrive in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port today!
      Have Fun and say hi to everybody I know! 😁

    These beautiful little towns you pass through on your journeys are amazing. You covered quite the distance. The views of the countryside along the way were breathtaking. Is tarted marking all the little towns on my map. I'm glad you recovered well enough. Lol and Poefi is back.

    • @StepsbyKaatje

      I'm glad I started with only those 38km. It took a while before I didn't feel Covid anymore.

    This looks like a great road ride. The rocky paths look quite bumpy, thankfully they have a concrete path as well part of the way. The wind can be a problem, definitely makes it more challenging.

    Hi there Katt, good to see you back out on the road. I had to laigh when you mentioned the priest - all for your sweet self. Good going especially after covid too. They were pretty good miles considering. Re-the cancer - my dad died of cancer. So, all good to the fund raising. Think pink! It seems to be going alright - some lovely villages and a luxury stay. I donlt blame you at all. Well, all the best - catching up. Mark

      Hi Mark, my dad also died of cancer at the age of 63. For me that's only 5 years from now ...
      So a good reason to go out and do what we love to do. You know as nobody else that it van all be over before you know it ...
      Thanks for watching! I don't really have time to watch anything. I'll try to catch up when I get home!
