    So what's with booking.com

    I've been using booking.com post my Camino, and it has been great. I am sure that in order for a hotel to be available for more than just booking.com customers, they may contract a certain # of rooms/day. Once those rooms are booked, you may need to go to another vendor or call the hotel...

    I may have to limit my camino

    I just would like to say that the Camino is not going anywhere! Get your knees right first before investing at this time. Issy (who is somewhere on this forum and in Spain, maybe still???), has had knee issues and has pretty much been having to bus it along Spain. The conditions this year...

    bus/train from logrono to sarria

    For the train, at 01:05, do you have to purchase a ticket upfront? Are there usually seats? Do you pay on board, or is there a ticket office? I am traveling to Logroño today via taxi, courtesy if a friend, and with the lateness, having a little anxiety. Going to Santiago for a night and then...

    Hiking Companion Needed-- start on October 1,2014

    I definitely see the pros of having a companion...not so much for the actual walking, but for someone to be with that speaks the same language. Being a slow and out of condition walker, after 4 walking hours, I am spent physically, but that could make for a very long rest period until setting...

    What part of Camino would you not do?

    I agree, Rebekah, but you also don't have to do the Camino all at once either. Yes, for those that are coming longer distances (US, Australia, and other non-European countries), you may feel you need to do the whole thing, but don't bind yourself to covering too many km per day. One thing I...

    Pre/Post Camino ~ What advice would u give yourself? Did u overhaul ur life?

    Unfortunately my Camino is coming to a clothes due to both injury and unpreparedness. While I enjoyed and went by what I heard about others experiences, I should have been more in tune with myself. One can't expect to go from a couch potato/living on blogs/spending more time on this forum to...

    LIVE from the Camino Where is the bus station in Pamplona!

    Is that the same as Ciudadela in Brieley's guide? Sorry if it sounds like a dumb question, but like I said I am having a hard time figuring out these old Spanish big cities. Sent from my iPhone using Camino de Santiago Forum

    LIVE from the Camino Where is the bus station in Pamplona!

    I feel all turned around, but if it wasn't for catching a cab after getting thru the crazy crowds in the old part of town, I'd still be looking for my hotel for tonight. I am staying at the Hotel Europa if that helps. Sent from my iPhone using Camino de Santiago Forum

    Most direct route from Pamplona to Burgos

    I decided to move on to the Meseta for both physical and mental reasons. Physical as my knee could use more level ground, and mental to ease on the anxiety if the descents. As I basically started in the condition of a couch potato, I decided to push on. Traveling alone has its benefits and...

    The Corazon Puro Experience!

    Actually spent 2 nights there! First was also including the ride from Pamplona to SJPDP and second was walking from Roncesvalle to Bizkaretta. I was very happy to spend the second night and grateful they were not booked. Delicious meals both nights! Sent from my iPhone using Camino de...

    Roncesvalles, whether or not to stay

    As tough as it was for me to get to Orrisson, I don't regret it one bit! I met two wonderful couples, and even though they are in better shape and most likely won't meet again on the Camino, but who says our paths won't once again cross. Canuck, your preference is yours...each pilgrim must...

    Animals

    You have to consider that you are not the only guest, and some of your fellow pilgrims may have allergies (bringing a dog, for example). I know that it is hard to leave your pet behind. (I miss mine), but really how fair is it to them. Sent from my iPhone using Camino de Santiago Forum

    How much cash to carry?

    Actually I made sure before I left to get a atm MasterCard. I found that ally bank was the best for me. No ATM charges other than a 1% transaction fee. Got 200€ at Atocha and with what I have and need, I should be good to Pamplona at least. Kris Sent from my iPhone using Camino de Santiago...

    Shipping packages from town to town

    If you check Resources, you should find something. I believe that Ivar has an area where you can store your case. Sent from my iPhone using Camino de Santiago Forum

    My best purchase for my last Camino-front pack/pouch

    Wish I saw this before I left. I had gotten a pack from Rei and while it could hold a lot, it felt to big. So pretty much my 28l Deuter is holding it all! Sent from my iPhone using Camino de Santiago Forum

    Toilet Paper

    Love the auto spellings...I think that"casinos" try to maintain their facilities...they don't want their "pilgrims" leaving for sites with facilities! Sent from my iPhone using Camino de Santiago Forum

    Toilet Paper

    Hi George. J&D did the Camino back in 2012, I believe. It was thru this forum that we met. She wrote one of the first books about the Camino called Women of the Camino. Nice couple. Sent from my iPhone using Camino de Santiago Forum
