[QUOTE="roving_rufus, post: 1183152, member: 21017"] I had a bad experience on day 2 of my first ever camino that made me rethink and I nearly caught a bus to give up. I didn't- I decided to give it another day or two. I had a horrible night's sleep, someone else in dorm was rustling bags and I got up after 5am, leaving in the dark, not a great start. I found an open bar full of workmen - one of whom paid for my coffee. I stayed in a wonderfully kind albergue that night and slept well. Gradually it became a joy - and 10 years later I have will admit I have walked on pilgrim paths - camino, VF, each year as a solo woman. But someone nearly took it all away before I had a chance to figure out camino-ing for me. Unfortunately bad stuff happens even on camino. I would find a way to get distance from those who caused your distress from an awful incident. Slow down for a few days, or outrun them. There is lots of great practical advice above on alertcops, private rooms etc. Give it a few days - then make a decision, don't let them steal the camino from you. [/QUOTE]
