Kumbh Mela 2019 – The procession and the holy dip

At one point of the first, the crowd was so packed that we couldn't even move our arms and we feared for our cameras. A steel cable, stretched along the way, got stuck between my foot and my sandal. On loosening it, I lost the sandal, and there was absolutely no way do lean and fetch it.

Camino de Santiago: 2 – from la Meseta to Santiago

On the worst day, we did only 18 km. Woke up under a layer of snow, got a little sun in the morning, but it started raining before lunch.

Camino de Santiago: 1 – from Saint Jean to Burgos

Arrived early afternoon, booked a bed on a hostel, got my passport stamped and the itinerary. From the train station, to the city centre I had already realised my backpack was too heavy.
