YOURSJackflap said:Thanks for your replies, our dog is a very sportive one. It is a swiss mountain dog, used to the mountains, so we hope he wont have too much problems. I know that staying an albergue with a dog is difficult, but thats why we will bring a tent. We want to find a good a cause to support, any ideas? Preferably something in Portagal, because that is where we are heading next. This a part of our project Jackflap (http://www.jackflap.com), travelling around the world.

That is a bad thing, or just a different thing?Maybe the Camino is a holiday

One thing I found on the Camino was that my mood was 100% under my control. The weather, the food, the terrain, other pilgrims, snorers, rhinoviruses, dirty pots and pans, upper bunks, bed bugs, family, work, politics, etc. were all beyond my control. But ME? That I was in control of. It was a very comforting discovery.I just see many many comments where the mood changes in the last 100kms.

Agreed!Jubilado said:I'd say that if anyone wants a 'holiday' on the Camino it's good.
Jubilado said:Maybe, I could be well served by patting one along the way.
Warm regards to all
Max, my brother (who lives in Oz) and I started our camino on 20th April this year, on his advice we both took tents hoping to camp out whenever possible. April/May was very wet this year so we ended up posting them home from Pamplona and glad we did. There were very few places we saw that had camping facilities, also after a long wet days walking the last thing we wanted to do was try and set up a small tent and then negotiate washing, drying etc. There is plenty room in the hostels at that time of year so my advice for what its worth is save yourself a few kilos and a lot of grief and forget the tent.max44 said:I am taking a lightweight tent as well, how did camping work out. I am doing it as an alternative to the hostels every night.
Good luck with your donation hunting
I am starting Mid April now as it seems to be less rainy. I also want to avoid the main crowds in Summer.
