    Leaving Soon! Now back Home.

    I start my first camino on April 27th, 2014. Can I ask what these credentials are that you are picking up on April 5th? As far as I am aware of all I need to bring with me in my travel passport.

    Grocery Stores on the Camino Frances

    Oh my goodness! Other than the social interactions with people I am also looking forward to the amazing food! It sounds as if the meals will be simple, and back to basics. None of this processed nonsense we have in North America.

    Where to leave my pack upon albergue arrival?

    I see. I should look for a waterproof fanny pack or little bag of some sort then to store my personal items if I have to take them into a shower room with me.
