Sharing a warm, comforting meal on Camino is so good for the soul. Sometimes we may want to have the evening to ourselves, quietly reading a book while having supper. But on most occasions, the evenings are for connecting, laughing, resting the body and regaining morale for your next day of walking.

When you walk into Velddriff, built on the Berg River mouth estuary, you will always see a large display of bird species.

And old man Heron is always one of them. Stalking fish in the shallow waters!

When the route reaches Velddriff it splits in two- one goes down the West Coast and the other goes upstream to Hopefield.

This is when you jump on Cracklin' Rosie River Tours. Wendy and her partner Nico take you on a wonderful trip lined with Berg River birds and drop you off at Cloetieskraal where you walk to Schaftplaas.

Meet the locals!

Life in the rural communities!

While on Camino you come across all sorts of unexpected delights! Just every day occurrences that remind you how connected we all are to the great cycle of life!

This is why it remains a riddle- what came first? The chicken or the egg!

The women behind Cape Camino.

Every now and again we get together in real life flesh and blood, instead of through phones and lap tops. And there is always more connection, more communication and love for our work, and each other!

Happy Holidays.

Peace, Unity and Thriving for All!

Lana Pedro writes:
"My best friend and I walked 4 days of Cape Camino from Hermon to Tulbagh. Along the way we were swept up in the Camino hospitality and generosity of chaperones and hosts - giving of their time and opening up their homes to us. The scenery and routes of our walks were so beautiful and although some roads never seemed to end, we were always greeted at the other end by smiling faces, a comfortable bed, a hot shower and the energy to do it all again the next day."

Cape Camino's mission is to facilitate a Camino Way, for personal reflection and growth. Or for slow travel, or for meeting kindred souls, or for whatever it is you need.

The route is hosted by diverse sacred spaces and local communities, supporting the South African small business economy. It is an ongoing event, hosted by Grace.

And the goal is to facilitate Peace, Unity and Thriving in our magnificent land.

Together it can be done.

Kai’s wonderful breakfast treat !

When you walk between Riebeek Kasteel and Gouda there is a surprise in store for you- a hot sit down breakfast after 11 Km - exactly when you need it. Plus good coffee!

Sometimes when you least expect it, there is a gift waiting for you on your path! I wonder what’s in store for you today?

An old school house converted into Camino accommodation by the farmer and his wife! We thank you!

Check out the 8 day Camino that includes this stay, and other farm stays and communities, on the route from Tulbagh to Aurora. A beautiful, rich and historical walk. With lots of time and space for yourself!

Beautiful Jacobs Bay!
It’s a little village with lots to see and do.

If you want to of course? If you want to get horizontal and recover from the walk from Afsaal- that too is appropriate.

No obligations, expectations, duties, responsibilities, commitments etc! Your Camino is all yours!

Every one walks a Camino for different reasons- well ? Not everyone! About 25 % still walk it to examine their sacred self- to endure hard times and grow emotionally and spiritually in the process. To discover the self and learn one’s limits, and other strengths.

Some walk it to meet like minded people. Some to discover this beautiful land. Some to get away from the hustle and bustle.
And I’m sure there are many more motivations!

But whatever your reason is- it is always up to you to find, or at least to seek, what motivates you. There is an internal locus of control. It’s not up to the hosts, or the chaperones, or the weather or anything, or anyone, to provide you with what it is that you looking for!

This is what sets it apart from a hike or a holiday!

Pilgrim journals

Many of our pilgrims measure and track their days walk!

This is so helpful. But it’s also so interesting how each person will have a different distance for the same Leg!

Even when we do the same journey on the same day, we walk a different path! See and experience different things. Process the journey differently. Such is life.

Make sure you make your Camino yours!
