Hiking Camino Frances to Santiago de Compostela by Jan Dierks   August, 23rd of 2013  I started my camino  from a small city in the Netherlands, called Fijnaart. You can read all my  camino days in this  weblog.  I hope you get a lot  of pleasure from  reading my stories.  Jan Dierks It was a big experience being so long from home.  But I have met a lot of nice people, who were also on Santiago de Compostela.  It was a great pleasure meeting them during these 500 miles. I like to thank all men  and women for their  friendship during  my camino.    A special “ THANKS ”  for Michael Mihalik who  helped me by the translations  from the Dutch language  into the English language
