[QUOTE="debra, post: 774938, member: 3944"] I have very odd view on the use of albergues from with a young child. I wake up very poorly and the 30 second between sleep and full wakefulness, I am extremely violent, I gave my best friend a black eye on the camino when she woke me be shaking my foot. I also hit a hospitalero that choice to wake me by touching me as I was sleeping late 6:45am. My poor dog learned to not wake me by jumping on my feet but that biting the cover to pull off of me, works much better. I am not at all alone in my poor waking. If I was to hit/kick a child, I would feel terrible but that would not change the fact the child to struck. I will not sleep/nap near my nieces and nephews due to this. I feel that adults, dogs and cats can live with the consequences of waking me wrong but deeply wish to never hurt a child because of this. I go on camino looking for the peace that my life lacks. I find the peace I seek but not for my waking moments. Others walk for similar reasons and are similarly problematic to wake. I try to get top bunks because of this. Many country's have banned children from shared dorms with strangers due to this problem and other problems. I know that the ban is not current in Spain or not enforced at albergues right now. However the reasons for the ban have not disappeared because you are on pilgrimage instead of backpacking. AS for walking the camino with your child, that sounds like a great plan but planing on 60 days sounds very long. Do you have a plan for being able to rent a room for two weeks in a city or other spot if the walking everyday gets to be too much and he wants to stop for a bit. Snacks as a vegetarian I am pro chocolate, nutella&jam sandwich and vegetable&cheese sandwich. [/QUOTE]
