Taking time out for a pilgrimage is a wonderful experience. In our busy lives we never know what might be next, around the corner. In preparation and planning for this particular journey, several things happened to make me reconsider whether the time was right. Health issues for both myself and family members, especially losing my brother a few months before the trip.

This is the story of the change this journey had on our health and wellbeing. The people we met along the way and being at one with nature. My daily journal, re-read many times led me to share our experiences of the places we stayed and pilgrim places we visited in the hope that others may be tempted to visit some of these places or create their own special journey.
