Back in 1999, hardly anyone had heard of this 1,000 year old pilgrim’s path which runs from the border of France and Spain to the city of Santiago de Compostela in north western Spain, a distance of over 700 km, or about 450 miles. Kees and his brother started training and never stopped hiking again. In fact, Rob ended up hoisting his pack onto his back, closed his front door in Amsterdam and walked to Santiago - over 2000 kms in 16 weeks. Years later, Kees hiked the Camino for a second time. I joined him for the last portion. Now, more books have been written about this trail then, probably, about any other. This is his account of walking that now very popular trail.
