Nadine This morning we left the village of Kladruby a little earlier than usual, around 6:30 a.m. Already, people were out and about, a lady carrying two bags of groceries was returning to her home, children were setting off for school, and people in their cars zipped by. It's fun to see daily life in …

Jakobsweg Day9 Kladruby-Kladruby
Follow up from yesterday. If you tried to see the clip of the vintage sewing machines yesterday, the link was bad. I’ve fixed it in yesterday’s entry. We spent our impromptu rest day by waking up late (6:45am) and having a cooked breakfast of sausage and eggs and a banana. We researched a new path …
Jakobsweg Day8 Hracholusky-Kladruby 15.8mi -First Rain
Before we even left our room this morning the sunrise over the lake was beautiful. I have to take Nadine's word on that because I am not a morning person. Obviously, this is Allison. And our lodging very kindly provided black tea which apparently has lots of caffeine. Apparently when a morning person has two …

Jakobsweg Day7 Třemošná-Hracholusky 13.9mi
FYI. Today we passed the 100mi mark!! A short compilation video is at the end of today’s vlog entry. Good morning,Allison here. https://youtu.be/cCpRRwPPhq8?si=nUKLoR8-jVtVj_We This morning we ate a breakfast of yogurt and pastries in Nadine's hotel room. But much to the disappointment of Nadine and myself there was no tea or coffee. We are very …
Jakobsweg Day6 Nemcovic-Tremosna 11.6mi
About our morning updates. I know these are boring for many (but I hope you will view the first bit of today’s). I post these specifically for those that know us well and want to see how we are each day. I keep hoping to have WiFi sufficient to produce and send you guys some …
Jakobsweg Day5 Kavolina Pes – Nemcovice 12.9mi
Another short post due to no wifi. Actually we have WiFi but it isn’t connected to the internet so…basically useless to us. We started out this morning with the intent to walk again along the Berounka River to a cool sounding campground called Kemp Reggae. We waked through a nature/wildlife preserve and saw some cool …

Jakobsweg Day3 Beroun-Roztoky 18.6+ day
Short post today for several reasons. No WiFi Low Battery Tired legs and all other body parts. What’s worse than a 15mi day? A 15mi day that turns into a 18.6mi plus day. So much to say but so little opportunity to post. Short summary: Left a little late after tenting last night. Stopped at …
Day2 Cernosice-Beroun – Many Hills -16.4mi >2600ft ascent
We woke early. Wait, let me back up. First you should know that sunrise here in Czech is currently just after 5am. Second, our hotel room faced east. So but 5:30 we were wide awake and packed by 6:00. Our hotel included a wonderful and indeed exceptional buffet of eggs sausage, fruit, pastry, bread, jam …

Day1 Prague-Cernosice 15.4mi
The pilgrimage has begun. Yay! Literally our first step on this pilgrimage. First the bad news. As we were packing our bags this morning I realized the transmitter mic for our 360 camera was missing. After a few minutes of fruitless searching I recalled on instance the previous day when the camera fell and I’d …
Sunday Special
Happy Sunday. This is the end of our pre-pilgrimage posts. We started our day with something we’d all been looking forward to for some time. We walked 4km (1hr) to a former communist agricultural museum to attend a thriving Christian worship service with Destiny Church. The irony of that cannot be overstated. If such a …

Playing Tourist
First, I promise these Vlog entries will get much shorter once we start walking. There is just so much to see in Prague and our time here is short. I love my sister Nadine. I put her “in charge” of Prague and she has made sure to make the most of our time here. Her …
Travel Day!!
Good morning Pilgrims. Although the pilgrimage itself won’t start until Monday morning, we are en-route. In the Middle Ages the route was fraught with danger and the unknown. Delays and unexpected events were the norm and not the exception. Our journey is starting with a stumble as well. Our flight from Raleigh to Charlotte was …
1 Week to Go – and the question is “Why”?
In one week (that's 7 days, or only 168hours!!), we will be starting our journey to Prague. That flight overseas will kick off what is sure to be a spectacular adventure. I can't wait! The trip OVERSEAS... We have a couple special treats in store for us as part of our flight itinerary. First, we …
