Have coffee and lunch outside, even if it's cold. Especially if it is cold.

Carry a pack cover with you and stop everyone you see and ask it if is theirs.

Ask everyone you meet why they are here.

Actually having a picnic lunch in a bus shelter while it's raining could be fun.....

Depending on the neighbourhood where the bus shelter is located, many bus shelters here would be unsafe.
I once had to don my rain gear unexpectedly and quickly in a downpour, and a bus shelter was exactly in the right spot to do it. It was the perfect moment when I thought..."the Camino provides". 😅

Thank you, everyone. I will continue to chuckle about all of these everyday, as that's when I miss the Camino. I think it will be the thought that counts rather than me actually DOING all these things.
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.
