    Sending overseas

    Hello all! I wanted to share with fellow pilgrims about posting stuff home. I have read several stuff regarding high fees for sending stuff overseas I have recently discovered sendmybag.com and it's an absolutely bargain. I sent my stuff from Santiago to Oxford and it took 4 days at a mere cost...

    Sending pack to England from Santiago

    Amazing! I'm 2 days from Santiago and just starting to think about downgrading my things. Non essential things. I'm heading to Malaga after a few days in Santiago and not want to pay to check my bag on the plane. Thanks all for your help. Buen Camino

    Sending pack to England from Santiago

    Hola. I'll arrive in Santiago on Tuesday and would like to post my bag home as I'm heading elsewhere after Santiago and do not need everything I have with me. I won't be posting anything sharp or liquids. Can someone tell me how to do this? Parcel would be sent to U.K Anyone?

    Close encounter with the bulls

    Soto De Luina today, same thing only 5 bulls sat in the road. Very quiet road. I avoided them all by hopping into the next field. I came here to walk the Camino. Not run with the bulls. One thing at a time!

    Walking alone?!

    I'm currently on the del Norte route in soto de Luina. I started the day alone and was on my own for about 5 hours. I didn't see a soul. I stopped to drink for 10 minutes and I was passed by about 15 pilgrims! So in truth your never really alone. Buen Camino!

    starting my adventure

    I started my Camino today! My first one. For weeks building up to it I was beginning to think it's not possible. I have completed marathons and ultra marathons. But I've always had support next to me. I decided to do this alone. And the first day (today Gijón - Avilés) was a mix of terror...

    Walking del Norte solo

    Hi There I'm currently on the Del Norte route in Avilés and I haven't had any problems with being alone so far. It's my first Camino and I'm normally someone that does things with other people. So to come out here on my own was a challenge in itself. People seemed to appear along the route...
