    Inviting reflections on the wider costs of walking a Camino

    A late entry and not much to add to everything everyone has said above @Rodney Kent. 'Am guessing you are in Aotearoa since you appear to have just woken up! A group of friends and I were discussing the best way to get to the South Island for a hike, and an aeronautical engineer for our national...

    Wise card/app

    I did the Norte in July with my Wise card (and my husband ;-) and it was great. Not sure if it's been mentioned above but highly recommend only getting cash out from an ATM machine at a bank during working hours.

    Oldest to newest Camino routes

    Kia ora thank you Alwyn :-) Aaaah to be able to go and walk in one or two week blocks of A/L after catching a 2hr 60euro Ryan Air flight at the drop of a hat! I like the idea of Le Puy/Frances - looks ancient and gorgeous - and worth the 24 hour flight to get there :) Te huarahi pai

    Oldest to newest Camino routes

    Thanks Kathar1na. You make excellent points and I've enjoyed reading them all :-) You clearly know a lot about this. I guess I have plenty of time to read and think about it at a rate of one Camino every 2 years. Buen Camino.

    Oldest to newest Camino routes

    Hola peregrinos. My first camino last year was the Primitivo. Next year I'm doing the Norte. By chance these are the oldest and second oldest Camino's. I thought it might be interesting to plot my next Camino's by age - from oldest to newest routes. Does anyone know anything about this, or where...

    Full Body Yoga Stretching Routine after Hiking

    After finishing walking for the day and showers, laundry etc, I’d lie on my bunk doing yoga stretches with some chill sounds on the headphones for 30-40 mins. Nice and easy.
