caminos with shorter stages?
for where I am right now? I would say 15-20k a day is going to be the point where I quit being a pleasant person at the end of the day and switch to being a whiner who is not enjoying the moment.- BookGirl305

caminos with shorter stages?
feel free to move this to another place- I'm challenged to ask my question coherently. :) On the CF, there are many towns "off stage" with a wide availability of accommodation and the ability to walk a shorter distance if one chooses. There are also a lot of traditional hotels within the towns...- BookGirl305

Camino Frances 2024 Biker/Walker Accident
meaning, at a certain point, we are the tourists to their community and they are the locals who pay the taxes for upkeep and such. We may consider ourselves pilgrims and all the meaning that we put into that word, but to the Spaniards, we could be seen as backpacking tourists clogging up their...- BookGirl305

Camino Frances 2024 Biker/Walker Accident
My impression was that the cyclists are sport cyclists from the community and don't give tow figs about a bunch of backpackers on their bike trail. I can understand that. It's the same as if the town over from you bussed in a bunch of schoolkids onto your local trail and they got in your way...- BookGirl305

Stomach Bug on Meseta
It could also be something as simple as how foods are prepared and stored. On my one day camino two years ago, I went to Gibraltar after. In the Malaga train station to head back to Madrid, they have this amazing supermarket. I bought a sandwich and a dessert with a meringue- everything was...- BookGirl305

Where can I find... hotels (just off) the camino- CF?
Hello! Some of you may remember me from 2 years ago- I thought I had prepared adequately and made it less than one day- I had the cab come pick me up at the top of Alto de Perdon and ended up spending the rest of my week in Gibraltar with the wild monkeys, licking my wounds and celebrating the...- BookGirl305

Bad water
On my unexpected Spanish vacation following my aborted camino, I was in the hotel bathroom for two days in Madrid before returning to the US. Immediately prior to that, I had been in La Linea/Gibraltar and also picked up lunch for the train at the nice supermarket in the Malaga train station. I...- BookGirl305

I made it one day- what I wished I had understood more clearly
I have had enough. I made the very difficult decision to humble myself- to come back here after only making it one day- and share exactly what it was that I wished I had understood more fully before setting off. Most people would have never come back. I did. In the space of where this thread is...- BookGirl305

I made it one day- what I wished I had understood more clearly
I did consult a foot doctor and thought I could work with it. I was wrong. Excitement and anticipation pushed me past good judgement.- BookGirl305

I made it one day- what I wished I had understood more clearly
Katharina, read my original post. I clearly said- I normally pull money out via ATM but this time had cash. After they quoted a 30% exchange rate, I used the ATM after all. Your post “reads” very condescending. I’m sure it’s not intended that way, but it does. I included that segment because the...- BookGirl305

I made it one day- what I wished I had understood more clearly
To answer a couple of questions- I had one week available for personal time off and chose to walk the section between Pamplona and Logrono, braking that 4 days part into 6 shorter days, knowing my lower capabilities (you can do shorter stages). Yes, I "only" walked the 12k from Pamplona to AdP...- BookGirl305

I made it one day- what I wished I had understood more clearly
I made it one day- Pamplona to the top of Alto de Perdon. Back home now and mulling it over, there are things I wish had been clearer before I left. And before I get too far- I take full responsibility for not fully understanding. But I do need to let y'all know there were multiple places where...- BookGirl305

And... I'm off!
a big thank you to everyone who has assisted me for the last 2+ years in getting ready. My pack is packed (6.3kg/14#) and I am off to the airport in the morning. After being Covid cancelled twice, I'm finally on my way!- BookGirl305
