      KiwiBrownz reacted to David Tallan's post in the thread Sandals vs. flip flops. with Haha Haha.
      I assume Hoka One One Speedgoats are meant here. Speedboats may be more effective in the shower and on wet days, though. I was going to say that speedboats gave me quite the mental image, but then again, speedgoats do, too. :)

      KiwiBrownz reacted to MaidinBham's post in the thread Sandals vs. flip flops. with Like Like.
      For reference, I wear mid hiking boots with insert. I have the Hoka Speedgoats, but realized I could never walk all day with a backpack and be comfortable. I have used Teva hurricaine hiking sandals, but now use Crocs reviva flip flop which are...

      I'll give you my training program for this years camino and why I'm using it. I walked the camino last year as well and I over emphasized cardio type exercises; rowing, cycling, walking, running etc. I had it in my head that if I was able to do...

      It may be good to get your Camino gear together (packed pack, shoes, socks, etc.) and do a few hikes in that to see how your shoes and socks do and whether your pack is comfortable on a couple of longer hikes. Other than that, perhaps just...

      Can I turn this? I’ll turn this. The most dangerous place on the Camino Frances, or any other Camino, is the gap between expectation and reality. Many have fallen there. Yes there are places where the footing is a bit challenging and there are...

      Nor have I. One year there were lots of flies on the way to Foncebadon (in the woods) but that was just the once and they don’t bite. Never was bothered by mosquitos along the canal out of Boadilla either.

      Really? I don't think I've entered a bar without putting down my pack and then going to the bar. I've also never heard of a pack being stolen. Except in the The Way of course. You're kidding right?

      I love to sit at the bar in Plaza Mayor in Castrojeriz in the early afternoon, sipping a cold beer, and watching the pilgrims just passing by me, heading to (unknowingly) climbing the Alto del Mostalares in the afternoon heat, and afterwards...

      KiwiBrownz reacted to DTCamino's post in the thread Ordering beer in Spain with Like Like.
      I agree about the Cana. My friends in Spain told me if you order the Cana it’s usually smaller but cheaper per ounce then the other beer sizes (like a happy hour discount) and so I usually order a Cana and then don’t fill guilty if I want an...

      KiwiBrownz reacted to Anhalter's post in the thread Ordering beer in Spain with Like Like.
      When i was taking classes in Spain around 20 years ago, the fellows at the language school told me to order a Caña for the main reason that i will be cheaper than a Cerveza. No idea if it was true, but the idea kind of stuck and i kept ordering...
