    How to get rid of bed bugs from silk and merino items?

    I think dry stuff handles hot dryers relatively OK. When I used the laundrette in Ponferrada to decontaminate my 'delicate' items, nothing got shrivelled, thankfully. I had a nylon shopping bag from Ikea that went in the hot dryer which came out unchanged - with 2 dead bugs inside, so I knew it...

    How to get rid of bed bugs from silk and merino items?

    When you get home, absolutely agree, but whilst walking the camino?????

    How to get rid of bed bugs from silk and merino items?

    The standard response to what to do when you get bed bugs, is to wash and dry everything at 60 degrees. But if you do that to your silk sleeping bag liner or your merino socks or t shirts or down sleeping bag, then I believe that the items would come back to you distinctly the worse for wear...

    Surprised at our test results poncho vs jacket

    If you click the link above which brings up the page for the poncho, you can then check stocks at specific stores. Unfortunately, Oviedo has no stock. Leon seems to have a couple, also Santander, but that's no help to you.

    Walking with a messenger bag rather than a backpack

    How good at sewing are you? Could you buy a larger messenger bag and then attach a waist strap to it to take some of the weight? The hip bag could be worn to the front rather than the rear.

    Yet another accommodation thread

    Andy, I quite understand your curiosity and confusion. Last May, I got a bit sucked in by the bed panic when I walked from Pamplona and booked as far as Najera. It really took the edge off my journey to be hemmed in by bookings, especially since several became uncancellable a couple of days...

    Starting on Thursday May 9, 2024

    That is very considerate of you to want to book private rooms due to your husband snoring. However, as I'm sure you are aware, plenty of people who snore sleep in albergue dorms. If you can't find any private rooms between SJPP and Pamplona, then you will just have to use albergues - if you can...

    Stomach Bug on Meseta

    If you do get a GI infection, then make sure you keep hydrated. Proper oral rehydration salts if you can access them, otherwise a teaspoon of sugar and a pinch of salt in a glass of water in an emergency. It really seems to aid recovery (or maybe my guts are just pretty robust?!!!)

    The Camino will provide?

    I walked from Le Puy to SJPP and whilst the countryside is often beautiful, the daily stress of trying to find somewhere sensible to stay (it was busy when I walked in Sept and May/June) and my poor French combined with a predominance of French walkers, meant that I did not enjoy it nearly as...

    Commercial walking stunt from Wolksvagen

    I think that it is only available in Norway.

    Cafe con leche different this year?

    I was in Malaga, Cordoba and Seville in Jan and Feb and the coffee there was much stronger than I am used to in the north. So yes, I think it might be a regional difference.

    Small juicer, vegetarians and heating element?

    So too are mushy peas....

    What about “té con leche”?😀

    I love my tea too! If you order a tea in a cafe, they usually fill the cup with hot water and give you a tea bag on the side. Makes a very weak cuppa. I always bring a few tea bags with me as well as a few milk sticks and a very light plastic mug (which doubles as a fruit carrier), then I can...

    Best route into Burgos

    Last May, I had intended to take the river path, having walked that way in 2014. But I missed a turning straight after I had crossed the motorway. There was a temporary bridge, and I went straight on rather than down the steps. I suddenly realised I was wrong when I found the airport fence was...

    Train schedule renfe vs trainline

    I've just tried using my laptop and got plenty of choices for Sevilla Santa Justa to Madrid todos for April. A suggestion - when using Spanish websites, I have found that it is very important that the page is in Spanish not English. Using google translate can mean that the page just does not...
