    Re: Current Lunch Prices

    oooh, ouch! I have TONS of previous traveling experience in Europe, thankyou very much, but the camino is the ONLY place where I have routinely been given a choice of a bottle of wine or a bottle of water along with a meal. But hey, thanks for the ...

    If you recall, a coupla weeks ago there was the spam message here offering, well, porn. That email is still sitting in the inbox here, with a red flag that catches my eye anytime i come to the boards, and I just can't figure out how to delete it. Any suggestions? thanks, eric

    Re: Current Lunch Prices

    Greetings all! I’ve been watching this thread and now wondering if I made a faux pas? Not much of a wine drinker, so when the pilgrim meals offered it, I chose water. It wound up being a new (sealed) bottle of water every time, so when the meal was over, I took the bottle with me. Should I...

    Help: 6 weeks to go

    I got a few blisters - used “compeed” ( it’s an adhesive pad similar to bandaids, found at pharmacies) - it padded and protected the blisters. Pure heaven… the blisters went away in three or four days, stopped using compeed after about a week, didn’t get any more blisters for the remainder of...

    Re: Current Lunch Prices

    Hi Alexander. Not exactly on point, but… depending on how many time zones you’re crossing on the way to Europe, I’ve found that the first few days are kinda blurry because of jet lag. Roughly 12 hour difference from where I start, so I’ve learned to fly into a place that I’d like to see, a...

    want solitude

    I’ve only done the Camino Frances. I shared a table for dinner at O Pedrouzo with a gentleman from Germany. He had walked from Germany using the coastal route and was a bit upset with the number of pilgrims he had encountered after Sarria. Compared to beginning in SJpdp, I thought the same...

    Spring has sprung?

    Greetings. I walked the camino in September and October, had great weather, and got to see a bit of fall colors as I got closer to Santiago. The meseta was pretty bare because the harvest had already been take in. I'm thinking about walking the camino again next April/May to get a different...

    Are there Book swaps on the Camino. What book would you take.

    Well, if you do want to take a book (I prefer paper books, also, but have gotten used to the kindle app on my iPhone): I carried the Camino Frances village to village guide for a guidebook. “The Girl with a dragon tattoo” has an interesting story and a great protagonist. Likewise “Enders...

    What lens or lenses did you used most if you carried a DSLR or mirrorless camera?

    I took my canon eos with 18-55mm lens and that lens size was great. Did a few days sightseeing in Bilbao before the Camino, while getting over jet lag, so wanted the camera. Used it quite a bit, but was also taking photos with an iPhone. As the trip progressed, I overall leaned more toward the...

    Are there Book swaps on the Camino. What book would you take.

    I only ran across one or two book swaps. I think the other post about weight and language is probably correct. WiFi is almost universal, so easy to download more books from your library to your kindle. Buen Camino!
