I always find it a relief to have my next major onwards journey booked. Its very stressful when there are too many options. And trying to work out how to get from Bremen to where I'll start the Camino was certainly no fun with the multitude of train/flight/coach combinations. But I just booked a flight from Hamburg to Toulouse, so that settles that for the most part. It probably would have been cheaper to not split up Germany into two separate parts of my trip, but i think when i was ready to leave the UK it was too early to start the camino, and its certainly been a nice relaxing time here staying with Edith (a former flatmate from Melbourne). The other option of course would have been to keep touring round Germany and then do the camino later, but I have to say I'm itching to start walking. This way as well, I have the option of taking the camino slow and enjoying it more or rushing through (though is there such a thing as rushing when you're walking?) and having more time for Germany, France and maybe even time to squeeze in another country.
With remaining time diminishing (not that I'm even at the half way point yet?) its time to start being more organised, and in this vein i have filled in my calendar a little more
So it looks like i'm on track to start the camino on Thursday, hopefully keeping me just ahead of the weekend buldge. I still have some things to drop off, and some things i need to buy before I can start, but i'm informed on a globetrotter megastore in hamburg, so I assume they can equip me with my final needs / mostly a pair of pants as the only pair i bought had had a hard journey being worn solidly.
