Thank you very much for the super fast reply! :D so a budget of about 50 euro per day should do it! Actually, are there places in Santiago that I can buy a good strong cheap second hand bicycle for a child? I'm thinking it might be a better idea if I walk from sarria and she cycles along with...
Hello people, just wondering if the prices are still similar or if they have gone up a lot? Also is the cost the same for an adult as for a child? How much roughly should I budget for from sarria to Santiago? Please and thanks!
Hello!
I am also walking in may with my daughter who will be just seven. I am a little nervous about it to be honest so our plan is to start from sarria around the 24th or so and about 10km per day also. Either that or walk from Santiago to finisterre. Hoping in the mean time to find people...
Oh I sure will! Aoibheann will be badly in need of some kiddy company at that stage I recon. Oh, I was telling my friend about he kiwi family :D and he said he met ye! Small world eh!
Wow that's fantastic trishalexsage :) love the name sage! Presume its your daughter. My daughter wouldn't be anywhere near as fit as your kids actually I probably wouldn't be anywhere near as fit as your kids :D I do think she will be well able for it though but not having other children to...
hello all!
i see people have mentioned very cold weather especially early mornings in may but is this just on higher ground? we will walk from sarria to finisterre and im guessing it wont be as cold. also will thermals be needed this time of the year for sleeping? i have to pack everything for...
I'd like to add myself and my daughter to the class of 2013. I'm 31, she will be 7 and we are so super excited about our adventure between the 23rd of may and 13 th of June! Will hopefully walk from sarria to finisterre. :D
Ill be there! Flying into Santiago on the 23rd of may and walking from sarria to finisterre before heading back home to co. clare on the 13th of June. Ill be walking with my seven year old daughter. Hopefully see you along the way :D
Ill keep those for my journey :D do people ever walk barefoot? I would nearly be tempted to give it a go and somehow I have a feeling it could be kinder to the feet. Unless its all paved road that it....people climb Croagh Patrick here in ireland all the time barefoot and those people seem to...
Wow! How kind of you! Thank you so much! That will be fantastic for aoibheann. I'm not sure how she will cope for the week walking without other children around. I thought to ask one of my friends if I could borrow their daughter for a few weeks just to keep aoibheann entertained :) well I will...
Oh my good God! I was there for one year and not once did I see them! A gecko in my bed was as bad as it got. I must be lucky! I'm not so worried now. :D
im sure i could find some old pagan ritual that would deter the little blood sucking nasties :) i will give anything a go. and just incase im bringing the tent! thank you falcon!
thanks for that people! sounds great! seeing as i will be traveling with a seven year old child and her daddy i think ill stay off the table on the wet nights and go to an albergue :D :D but i have such a fear of those bed bugs that i will definitely bring the tent just incase. can anyone...
funny! i was just thinking the same thing! never thought of snakes and spiders not alone wolves and frikin bears! all i wanted to do was avoid the bed bugs! how did your camping trip go? im thinking to take a tent anyway.
Re: Camping on the camino
hola again miss silly doll! ive a feeling i will meet you many times over the next few weeks while doing my research :D after reading so many things about bed bugs im very tempted to also bring a tent for the 3 of us to sleep in. i dont mind if i meet snakes or...
holy moly! i dont think we have bed bugs in ireland! a year travelling australia and i didnt see one! i cant do chemical sprays and permethrin. could they go and hide out in my hair? its long! and my daughters is very long and curly too. oh some serious research to be done :) and maybe a hair...
