With only 5 weeks to go to the start of my journey on the camino you would think that I was in full training. Cycling on a daily basis eating healthy and generally preparing like an athlete.
Well you would be wrong in fact just the opposite I went to a retreat in le mâché Italy to relax and get in touch with my chi.......(I didn't know what that was until I went) in fact I thought it was a milk based food product?
It all came about by accident after a drunken promise on new years eve to try something different on a holiday.After agreeing I thought it was so many months away we wouldn't go but it soon came round and there we were on the Ryanair flight to Ancona.
A coach picked us up with 12 other people and soon we arrived in the beautiful hills of le marche. It was so beautiful that it looked as though the people had covered the land with green felt everything looked perfect the hills rolled into one another and the sun was glorious.
. The retreat is not your ordinary hideaway as the food was above 5 * vegetarian and you could drink as much as you like also if you didn't want to do anything you could just say f**k it and do your own thing.
If I went into every aspect of the week it would take up pages but to sum it up I think it was one of the best times of my life a real eye opener and I would recommend it to anyone.
I feel truly honoured to have been there with 24 other people who all were amazing and brilliant company. So not your average training routine but an above average experience which will spur me on through the hills of Galicia.
