Just want to say thanks so much to all of you for responding, it really helped.. So I came home, did a few family things that I felt I had to do…Then found I could not stop my finger hovering over the ‘book flights’ button, so I did what any rational pilgrim would and am now going back on...
Thanks so much all, I actually did meet a couple of people walking today and I’m going to meet them for drinks, and will hit the pilgrim house tomorrow.. I had forgotten about that and remember it from last time, it’s a lovely, lovely place. I’m also currently trying to decide whether to book...
Last day today, walking from Salcede into SDC. Just wanted to vent or get others thoughts on this, as rather than feeling elated at this sort of walking in, I actually feel quite low. I had to leave behind a lot of people I met on my walk from St Jean as I only had four weeks, so had to miss...
Hi all, hope this is the right place for this. I walked out of Logrono this morning at 7am (heading for Ventosa) stopped in a cafe coming out of town - the only one open and only pilgrims in there, called él Otro Costal. About 1.5km I realized I left my hat on the chair, sprint walked back as...
Thanks, yep we’re checking constantly now, feel itchy though there’s nothing there kind of thing! I let the place know cos tbh I’m pretty sure the person in question didn’t 😣 so they’re aware now, hopefully they get it sorted 🙏
Yes I’m sorted now thanks, as you pointed out I’ve had all the advice re drying etc, which you repeated. I had asked a specific question re safety being around the person I general even *if* they’d done all the steps. that’s actually what I wanted to know in the first instance, are the...
Thanks, the weather isn’t that hot right now, so thinking a boil wash plus long time in the hot dryer.
no worries, yeah we were just gonna share tomorrow to get out of municipals and hostels for a night, we’re just making sure we don’t take any risks in possibly spreading them though, we’re not...
Hi, one of our party has picked up bed bugs in the last town we were in (Estella).
She’s gone to hot wash and dry all her stuff, if she does this does that definitely kill anything that could be in her pack? We’re just wondering whether it’s safe to share a hotel room tomorrow night? Or is...
Sound advice in number 2! And number 5 also, a big YES to that.. I was quite surprised how much judgement there was.. it wasn’t everyone obviously or even the majority, but still, enough people had opinions and judgments about people they knew nothing about. Don’t like that.
Yes but how do you *reeaally* feel?..quit skirting the issue man..just kidding..:D
Thanks for the reply, I just wasn’t sure if you thought bedbugs weren’t a problem at all or if it was the way it was reported in the thread. Understood now, and I agree re being careful about naming places without...
Why should it be dismissed? Genuinely interested in your response, I did my first Camino last year and was luckily not bitten, I didn’t spray myself or my things as I’m not great with chemicals and to be honest I’d be more nervous about the content of some of those bottles than the bugs! :) so...
