My church has been disseminating information on the Camino as some holy tour company has decided that this is the "new" destination for Malaysians / Asians to head towards.
I am slightly disappointed as those who are keen associate it with the journey I undertook. And the disappointment stems purely from the fact that they will be walking a mere small fraction of the way and bussing it for the rest.
A family friend recently remarked to my dad how their pilgrimage to either Lourdes or Fatima (I forget!) was so uncomfortable, how the roads and buses in Europe are bad. I listen to it with utter disdain.
How unChristian, I know! But I'd like to believe that if one choses to embark on a pilgrimage - it is the journey there that matters, and not the end itself.
To each their own, I suppose.
