    Whenever I see a thread about booking hotac I always think there is a world of difference between booking a ‘non refundable’ bed/room, and a ‘cancellable’ room/bed. I only book via booking . com but most places tend to have a non refundable rate...

    I wish I had worried less about time....I was so concerned with making sure I walked X amount of miles per day, I always felt I was in a hurry to keep on schedule. Looking back now I wish I had slowed down a bit, totally enjoyed the moment and...

    Day 6: Portomarin - Palas de Rei 24.3km A tough day in the strong winds, heavy rain and cold. We left at 7.15am, still dark, raining. I managed to persuade my camino buddy to have breakfast at the next stop in Gonzar as I was keen to get...
