    Things I lost on the Camino

    I lost a pair of huge black knickers (I do mean Huge ie Bridget Jones type) - not once, but twice! (first and third Camino). I lost 3 toenails during the Via de la Plata, and just one during the Primitivo. I also lost the will to continue - usually every time it rained...

    Hotel in Santiago

    Have a look at this recent thread https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/nice-hotel-in-santiago.29160/. Some good suggestions there.

    Tired pilgrim needs advice.

    As Mark has said, you have the luxury of plenty of time so just relax! The Camino Frances is perfect for those who cannot manage long days. When I walked it, I was obese and unfit - the first two weeks I never did more than 15-20km a day. After 2 weeks of walking I got stronger and was then...

    Santiago At last!

    Paul sorry I have only just seen your post but I´ve been away walking the Via de la Plata for the past 7-8 weeks with little internet access and am only now catching up on all the posts. Very glad to hear you finished your camino. I have good memories of meeting you (albeit relatively briefly)...

    Photos with the bronze pilgrim at Burgos

    Here's mine. Not great quality as it was taken with a camera phone (left my lovely SLR camera behind to save on weight but next time will definitely take it with me!) ps. my strategically placed hands covered large holes in my trousers, where the material had worn off between my thighs from...

    LIVE from the Camino Live from Fisterra - My first Camino is now officially over!

    After setting off from St Jean de Pied de Port on 3rd October (seems like a lifetime ago!), with the intention of being back home in England by 1 November (ha ha!!), here I sit in the Mariquito (Cafeteria! Pub! Habitaciones!) in Fisterra nearly 7 weeks later, feeling extremely satistied, if a...

    LIVE from the Camino Live from Puente de Reina

    Sorry I have only just seen this thread. I used to be a Net Addict but since starting the Camino I am usually too exhausted at the end of the day to want to get online, even if Internet access is available (and it often is not). I had the good fortune of meeting Paul in Zubirri at the beg of...

    Shops in St Jean

    I've just bought my rucksack for the trip - I have settled for the Osprey Aura 35, and it is my intention to take it with me on the plane as hand luggage (if I don't pack it too full, it just about fits Ryanair's size requirements) rather than checking it in. Is there anywhere in St Jean Pied...

    It is getting cold on the Camino...

    Annette - I have just read your latest blog entry and I see that today you were flashed at by a local pervert :roll: , so obviously it's NOT cold enough, otherwise he would not have felt like taking his trousers down! :wink: (I sincerely hope that I don't come across any flashers when it's...

    October journey

    Hi Jonathan - as I've posted on Katkinca's October thread, I also will be walking in October - arriving in SJPP on 1st and starting walking on 2nd. Unfortunately I am very unfit so will be splitting the first leg in two days rather than one as I am a very slooooow walker at the best of times...

    Camino this October

    Hi Katkica. I too will be walking in October. I am actually arriving in SJPP on 1 October late afternoon (assuming my Ryanair flight from London Stansted is not late!) and will start walking on 2 October so I'll be right behind you! I intend to start extremely slowly though as I have done no...
