[QUOTE="JennyH94, post: 861775, member: 25609"] Hands up anyone who’s either donated unwanted backpack items which go in the Left Property boxes in albergues and other accommodation on the various Camino routes? Or - you may have taken advantage of the availability of one of those free items in the box ... Share the story of your donation and/or of your find! Over the years I’ve been fortunate with freecycled items - the most meaningful was the discovery a friend made which was on the shelf of Left Books at Albergue Maralotx in Cirauqui. It was a beautiful and profoundly sad book - “Fatelessness” by Imre Kertesz - an autobiography which won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2002. Over the next several days I read the book and left it on the bookshelf at Albergue Victoria in Ciruena. On returning to Australia I bought another copy of the book and I treasure it - it’s a wonderful book which shows the strength of the author’s spirit and his courage under the most awful of circumstances. A practical find was an absolute cracker of a Left Property item from my camino last year .. it was on the Left Property shelf at Albergue Alfar in Hornillos on the CF. I had long been looking to buy a pair of super-lightweight thongs - flip flops - for use in albergue bathrooms etc and hadn’t had any success. Imagine my delight when I found the [I]perfect pair - [/I]in my size and in my favourite colour - on that shelf! After a quick scrub they were good to go and were worn with much pleasure for the rest of the CF. They are my Camino thongs - to be worn exclusively on camino. Here they are, the next day, at the spa pool at Albergue Ultreia, Castrojeriz. [ATTACH alt="F5640A22-044E-457C-88EE-F6089927BDE4.jpeg"]78998[/ATTACH] I’d love to hear your Freecycling stories - please share! Cheers from Oz - Jenny [/QUOTE]
