After two days of not doing much in the way of preparation, everything got underway again today and a number of things could be ticked off my list. But of course, as these things go a number were added as well.
Most importantly all the banking stuff was sorted out, both for the visa application process and to ensure that I have access to my bank account whilst in Spain. In this process I received a bonus - my bank charges were reduced to next to nothing, simply because I'm over 55. I guess there has to be some advantages to getting older.
The other important although not crucial item ticked off my list is a new toy - a tablet for connectivity, books, learning Spanish while walking etc.
What was added to my list, was a cute little portable solar charger, the size of a small cellphone to keep my tablet in working order. Also a new hat and gloves for the walking poles, as it became very clear during my training sessions that my hat with its wide brim will be very irritating and the gloves I have will cause blisters on my hands if I had to use them constantly. So now I have a new mission;-)
The other important thing I achieved today was to take my camera in for a service, as its sensor is really dirty and so are the lenses. I'm a bit worried thought that the camera will be too heavy, so have to consider whether I want to do photography or have a buen camino and take happy snaps.
