    Stomach Bug on Meseta

    And definitely before you pick up your food in your hands or the top of your drink bottle. Remember that some virus's (particuarly the highly contagious norovirus) are only destroyed by washing your hands thoroughly with soap and water - hand sanitizers don't kill all bugs.

    Stomach Bug on Meseta

    As mentioned by a couple of people above - much more likely spread by contaminated surfaces - someone with poor hygeine after using the toilet touching the tap of water supply then others coming along touching the tap and the cap of their bottle while filling etc etc. Also some bugs such as...

    Conques to Decazeville

    We walked from Conques to Livinhac le Haut and didn't go down in to Decazeville at all as advised by the staff at the Monastry albergue, following back roads once we had climbed out of Conques.

    Interview with Director - New Camino Movie

    I saw this engaging, inspiring movie in Adelaide last Tuesday with a Q&A session from Bill, his lovely wife and Johnnie Walker - both who starred in the movie. Amazing to know that most of the characters were actual pilgrims he walked with 10 years ago! Laugh out loud moments, pilgrim...

    Daily blog on the Camino Portugués

    Loving your blog, Paul - it brings back memories of our walk from Lisbon last May. We stayed in a couple of the same places as you enjoying Enrico's place in Valada - and had a long lunch at the river side cafe too 😊 We went back there for dinner before it closed for the evening. We also...

    Bed Race → Astorga to SdC early April

    This brought back memories of when I was a student nurse in Auckland, NZ - we raced old hospital beds down the hill of the main street (Queen Street) in an inter hospital team event🤣

    Short walk in France - planning

    Le Puy to Conques is the most popular stretch with several villages on the 'most beautiful' list - as mentioned in my earlier post we prebooked all our accommodation up to Conques. After this we only booked 2-3 days ahead. A lot of French (and others from Europe) walk in 1-2 week blocks...

    Should I stay or should I go?

    For anyone else undecided - we caught a midday boat, lunched and toured the church in Pedron then walked on another 4k to stay at O Lager de Jesus - excellant vegetarian communal meal in a beautifully converted old building. It also has a swimming pool.
