    What's changed?

    Someone mentioned this morning that they thought the botafumeiro was up and swinging again for Thursday. I am not sure this is true. Does anybody have the scoop?

    The Camino will provide?

    Yes, I gave a pilgrim €200 once because his bank account was frozen. Everybody told me I would never see the money again. When I gave it I gave it not expecting it to be returned. However, he tracked me down and Los Arcos a few days later and repaid me. Other times I help people and do expect...

    Lost and found

    I lost my temper on my first Camino years ago. It was on the Meseta and I took my wooden walking stick - like those they sell all along The Way - and beat it on a boulder, as hard as I could! The danger thing REFUSED to break! I felt better except for a sore hand and was happy there were no...

    Lost & Found Take care of your gear!

    And those items should be in a money belt of some sort attached to your body at all times except for showering, at which time the belt should go into the shower with you in a waterproof bag.

    Frankly, Scarlet… they can call it whatever they want!

    Are you 70+ and still walking Caminos?

    Are you 70+ and still walking Caminos?

    When you started this thread I was too young to respond. This year in August, I'll be 72. And this year will be the 21st time I've walked a Camino. I still have the VDLP and Malaga routes to finish and a few other routes I'm looking forward to starting. My friend, Patricia Moak, is 82 this...

    Water, water...

    On the CF I carry one 12 -16 oz bottle and fill up when I need it. Pretty much every village has a fountain.

    How nice you got a bed at Paderborn. That's one of my favorites.

    Camino Frances April 2024 advice

    Is this current advice or advice from 2014? Are you on the Camino right now? Because I understand lodgings in Zubiri are very difficult to get right now. Just wondering...

    The 10th!

    You would think after all these years of flying from Oregon to Madrid that I would understand the time difference. But I awoke from a dead sleep this morning in a panic, as I remembered seeing something on my reservation app for my flight. I jumped out of bed, opened the app, and there is was...

    25 km per day?

    That's about my comfort zone, honestly.
  15. Anniesantiago

    25 km per day?

    Some days I walk 24-25k. Some days I walk 7 k. Just depends on how I feel. I think you're basing your assumption on the Brierley stages, which aren't written in stone, though some seem to think they are. Walk as many k as you're comfortable walking.

    Injury that ended Camino

    I'm so sorry this happened to your partner and to you. And I understand what you're saying about how wonderful the Spanish people are vs. Portland. I moved from there 3 years ago after living there for over 30 years. I hope your partner heals quickly and you can return to finish your Camino in...

    What do you wish you had worried less about?

    I just reread the question so I guess I wish I had worried less about what other people thought was best for me. I wish I had listened to my gut and kept my booking at Orisson and NOT listened to the hospitalero in SJPP. .He very strongly suggested we cancel Orisson, telling us "You can walk...

    Walking with headphones?

    I don't use headphones because I'm afraid of being run over by bicigrinos who go WAY too fast on those trails, in my experience.

    Amazing story! I can't drive 16 hours - I can't imagine ROWING for 16 hours!
