Same thing happened to me. Ordered veg stew, it had little white meat lumps in it, tried to explain vegetarian, was told, but it's only a little bit of meat! So only had soup that night... Was quite hungry! Waiter even laughed at how little I ate, made a comment about that's why I am so...
Got used to the clicking poles, however some guy had purchased an oversized wooden staff and has no idea how to use it properly, so persisted in dragging it noisily behind him..... Drove me mad!! Made me so appreciative of the pole walkers who at least picked up their sticks in between steps...
Poor guy in sahagun, whilst in a caFe, somebody had a bsentmindedly taken one of their own poles and one of his, leaving him to discover he had a mismatched pair... He set off in such a rage to try and find the accidental culprit. If you have poles, beware the angry pole checker on the camino!!
In Santiago now but "real" life beckons, back to work....impatient to start again though for 2018, would like to avoid extreme weather, does it stop being rainy at all around april/ may?
Can I ask two probably obvious questions? What are bed bugs, is it scabies mite? And do you bring your own bed stuff to hostels or what do they provide? Ie, do I bring a sleeping bag, pillow, bed linen, ground sheet, etc? Thanks so much
Hi, I'm browsing the forum trying to get an idea of which would be a good part of the Camino Frances if you only had a few days. The forums seem to say NOT to chose the Sarria - Santiago part, I'm wondering which stages people would recommend? I walked from Carrion de los Condes to Leon earlier...
