Camino, day 13-15: On detours, goodbyes and way too many people (87.38 km)

My very first day on the camino started in an almost anticlimactic way. I woke up at 7 in the morning, took a bus to my starting point, and started hiking. And… that was it. I didn’t meet other pilgrims, and I barely met other people in general. The only person I met on my
