    Any gyms on CF with day passes?

    use your own body weight program, You don’t always need treadmills and weights to work out. I know if I asked my PT to write me a body weight program to take he would. Include bear crawls- burpees, push ups etc.

    Jet Lag After Flying Direct from Australia to Paris for Camino Starting in St Jean

    No way - find that it’s a massive flight and adjusting to new time zone would wreck me. I always have a few days in madrid or in your case where ever you land to rest up and adjust to new time zone. The hike at the start is a difficult climb. But as everyone is saying - we are all different.

    Cats on the Camino: Strays or Pets? Etiquette for Feeding Them

I am an animal lover and I found in Spain, Portugal and Italy have lots of poor strays unloved and hungry. i will always feed strays just as you give money to beggars so you should also look after the little animals. I’m sure there...

    Pee Cloth - leave no trace

    I used pee cloth and also reusable panty liners that you can wash out each day. I was disgusted with the amount of toilet paper discarded in the bushes. Seriously use pee cloth and if you do something that requires toilet paper carry a doggy bag and dispose thoughtfully.
