    Everything is relative when comparing two differing economies. Looking at the prices for two lattes in a well known franchised coffee chain in the UK (£9.00 or £4,50 each...call it €10) I would suggest that far from being "ripped off" or needing...

    You can find two decent breakfasts in the US for $22?!! I need that restaurant! . Just been in USA a month and even Denny’s was coming in at $50 for two (including taxes and gratuities) for a couple of omelettes and coffee, Admittedly free...

    Have you priced an Egg McMuffin, coffee and oj at McDonalds lately? Probably $10 each. At least the coffees and Oj would taste good. Why do people just think everything should be cheaper on the Camino.

    I walked it and met many people along the way. I walk slow so most people passed me but when they stopped along the way many times I would see them again. A lot of people seem to remember the slow person they passed and maybe had a short...

    Loved all the huge old books in the library at Museo de San Isodoro, in Leon. A bible there is more than 1,000 years old! And there's a challis there that is believed to be "proven" by a research team, to be the one that Christ drank from at...
