Thankfully I got the last bottom bunk: I think if I HAD to take the top bunk, because all the other beds were taken, I would pull the mattress off and take it outside to sleep on. Put my poncho on the ground underneath it, so it didn't get dirty. -

Buen Camino pilgrims! I plan to walk the Del Salvador this summer, followed by the Primitivo, followed by the Portuguese (from Coimbra). What a summer I will have :) I am posting my current itinerary, and am wondering if any fellow pilgrims have...

Great point! I think also many walkers are maybe older with the need to visit the bathroom more, on shortish trips so harder to acclimatize, and have come from far afield! I stay in many hostels (non Camino) and it can be very disorientating...

Thank you! 50+ comments and this is the first time that someone mentions this. As you described, falls do happen. I remember a case mentioned in a newsletter for the Roncesvalles albergue where a young man fell from the top bed and broke his...
