    dealing with photos

    You might find somewhere in the larger towns, I was not looking for that type of service so I can't comment but you could try Googling it for the larger towns. I did what most others have said above, I kept the SD cards and downloaded to a mini iPad, it was nice and light to carry and it worked...

    Hotel rooms rather than hostels?

    I too stayed in the Paradore in Leon, I will never forget the experience.

    Comment by 'Christine15' in media 'Recent arrivals'

    Hi Ivar, I can see that there is work going on at the Cathedral, is it cleaning the stone or more than that and when is it due to be finished.

    LIVE from the Camino Fabulous places to stay!

    The two reviews are great and I will keep them in mind for hopefully my next Camino, however I have to disagree with your comments on Hotel Gaudi, I can assure you our beds did not slope and everything was very clean, The lady at reception did not speak english and this can be frustrating for...

    Photo transfers to Flickr using wifi

    I too used a Cannon digital, I also took with me a mini iPad and downloaded each evening and of course do not need Wifi, just in case I did not delete the my card's. As soon as I got home they automatically downloaded to my laptop from my iPad, I did take a lot of photos not as many as you...

    Madrid to SJPDP - Options

    I completed my Camino at the end of September 2013, and I too hope it is only my first. I flew into Barcelona from Sydney, had 2 days recovering from jet lag and then caught the train to Pamplona. We started from Pamplona but originally were to start from SJPP and we were to get a taxi from...

    Post-Camino withdrawal symptoms / blues

    I walked last September from Pamplona, the walk from Sarria I think is fine if you wear good walkers, I did not use hiking boots, I used Nordic walkers that were well broken in, also Injinji toe socks and did not have a blister. However the walkers had to be thrown away at the end as they were...

    Hotel recommendation in Lyon (en route to Le Puy)

    One of the most memorable nights of my Camino was staying in the Parador in Lyon, I am so glad we splurged for the night though I don't think it was expensive but compared to our other other accommodation is was, "Parador Hostal San Marcos" and the price I think was 110 Euros and included a...

    Coffee in the morning...

    After reading all the posts re Cafe con Leche I am definitely the odd person, I was so looking forward to enjoying Cafe con Leche's alas, did not enjoy them at all, I admit I like my coffee quite strong & I don't drink instant, in Italy love the coffee but it is not hot enough. After trying 6...

    Cooking on the camino

    In my younger days I have used a Trangia stove and think they are wonderful, however you also have the added chore of shopping for your needs for each meal or adding weight to your pack with ingredients. My own business in my younger years heavily involved food and I love it, BUT not having to...

    How much money should I need for the entire pilgrimage?

    I walked last September and though not a beer drinker I did gather it was good and well priced. I too like nice food and you will find at times when in a small village you will not have a huge choice in food and the Pilgrim meals are hit and miss but that is part of the Camino and you just...

    Drying clothes in cold weather

    I did exactly the same, 3 sets of clothing and rotated, if not dry then on the pack and get going. Very normal on the Camino.

    Hiking Boot Maintenance

    I agree with you, I walked last September and I used Nordic Walking Shoes, I had them for quite a while and and had some use but I trained in them before I left and used good walking Toe Socks - they were extremely comfortable and really great to walk in and did not even consider getting a new...

    The Delicate Matter of Toilet Paper on the Camino

    When I walked last September I too was distressed seeing the disgusting litter, I am in my 60's and found I could "hang on" till I reached a village or town etc. I was prepared though with zip lock bags and toilet paper in each, the plan being if I needed to use them the paper would return to...

    This time will be different...less is more!

    I loved the post and enjoyed the replys, I start from Pamplona on the 4th Sept and am trying to see where I can cut things out. However Rain jacket, rain over pants are a must plus a raincoat for my back pack. In my training I have had a couple of chances to try them out and I was warm and cosy...

    Backpacker's rain gear + reading on the trail?

    I too am doing my first Camino, start walking from Pamplona on 4th Sept. On the topic of E Books, love reading and have a Kindle I use a lot but am leaving it with my luggage, 1 don't want the extra weight and 2 I don't think it will be something I will miss on the Camino, hope I am not making...
