Camino day 1

Today we walked 11km in the wet to get to half way up the hill. It was a mountainous path and it was slippery from the rain. In the process, I got two blisters. Although it ws a rainy day it didnt ruin the camino for Mum, Lilly and I. Please see my instergram for photos.

Our Albergue is the best.

Spain (camino start)

Tomorrow I'll be catching a plane to Spain and can't get a blog in because I won't have wifi and would like to do a blog before I go.

This blog is about the plans for the first and second day of the camino. 

These two days dad, uncle Frazier and me did in one. It was 28.2km that day and it was one of my biggest days of the camino. On these two first days we will be sending our bags forward and take a little bag with the bear necessities, such as chocolate (for when we are buggered), our rain shells (if it rains) and water because we need to keep healthy.

It looks like its going to rain for the next few days in Spain..

I will do another two blogs to catch up on the two days that I missed.

wish us luck!

1950s kitchen at Avebury Manor

We went to Avebury Manor.

In the kitchen we grounded up coffee beans in an old coffee grounder. It smelt really nice when it was grounded. 

Here is a photo of me grinding the beans up.  |

I tired on a few different hats from the different eras. 






Sleeping on Queen Anne's Bed

Today we went to Avebury and got to lay in Queen Anne's bed. Its called that because she was supposed to have stayed here.

Queen Anne was a sad queen and reigned for only five years.  She reined in the early 1700s

She got pregnant 17 times and only had 5 kids that lived. Then 4 of them died at 3 years and the oldest lived to 11. She was a very sad queen and then she died.

Old Sarum - The Kings toilet

Today at old Sarum we spotted the weirdest and of course at the time - the stinkiest thing.

Can you guess what it is?


These are toilets and for only the royal behinds only.

When the castle was complete, there would have been a floor above this and toilet seats there.

They worked like pits of rubbish in the medieval age. The king poos or wees in the loo and then it fills up and when he's away, they clean it up. What a gross job it would be. Can you do that every day all day every year?
