It's not so much to help him, it was more about my curiosity.. he's happy with private places.
The point I was (failing) to make is that I'd like him to ask but he won't. If they had a bed he wouldn't want it and have to try and explain that he was only asking to satisfy a nosey person sat at...
Hi all, just a quickie,
My friend is near Leon and has fallen into the booking . Com panic as he doesn't want to risk not getting a bed. The word on the street is that beds are few and far between. I'm thinking he should have a walk around and try and find out the municipal situation but he...
Randy is currently staggering his way toward Fromista (if anyone near there spots a handsome, if slightly bewildered looking, Canadian, be sure to say hello!)
I fly out May 18th and will track him down using my newly invented device I like to call the Randytracker2000 (patent pending)...
I've walked several caminos but always in warm sunny weather. I couldn't bear 2 weeks in the rain. It's the polar opposite of what I consider acceptable. 🐻
Hi all, just a quickie.
My friend is currently on the CF just after Burgos and has reported back to me that it's quite cold and damp. I plan to meet up with him mid May and I don't fancy walking in the rain. My question is, is there someone on here I could speak to to arrange a bit of sunny...
Hi all, just a quickie.
My friend is near Burgos and needs a chairopractor to give his back a click 😳
Apparently he has it done when home in Canada (it straightens the spine )but doesn't know if it's the sort of thing you can turn up
and get done in Spain?
Any advice/contacts/back clickers...
My favourite albergue is Casa Susi in Trabadelo. It is owned and ran by an Aussie (Susi) and a Spaniard (Fermin). They met on the Camino several years back and decided to open an albergue together. They got married this year.
Oh, sorry, it was Santiago. There was a cafe open until 11pm ish and then a couple of flight arrivals at about midnight.. after that the airport was very quiet, lights were dimmed and everyone picked a bench and tried to have a snooze. There are also several vending machines offering drinks and...
It wasn't too bad. Several people with the same plan but there was adequate bench space for people to set themselves up. It appeared that everyone apart from me managed to get some sleep.
Hi all, just a quickie.
With another camino under my belt (albeit a mini one) I'm now stuck in the airport from now (10.40pm) until 6am when my flight leaves.
If you are in the same situation I've decided to hold a small but friendly gathering near the europcar/enterprise desk. I have half a...
Hi all, just a quickie.
I'm in sarria now and will be here til 3pm tomorrow (saturday 5th).
I've got 3 walking poles that you're welcome to if you want them. (matching pair and a single).
First come first served!
Hugs
Andy.
Hi all, just a quickie..
May I suggest that if you plan to start a camino from just before O Cebreiro that you do some training that involves a hill or two.. I have just climbed it on day 2 of my minicamino and it nearly did me in !!
I watched my dvd of the way 3 times before I set off, I...
Hi all, just a quickie,
I set off from Villafranca del Bierzo on Sunday with a plan to walk 9 shorter days.. there's a very strong chance I won't be getting anywhere near Santiago. This will be the first time I've walked and not ended at the cathedral and it just feels kind of... Odd? I'm not...
This is definitely an option ! I've already walked Finisterre so wouldn't mind bussing it. Not walked Muxia yet so I'll have to save that for when I can walk there
An afternoon in Finisterre could definitely break the day up!
