    The unpredictable ends of my Camino!

    Hi to everyone, I can’t believe how this thread became so popular. Should I be happy or not? No, I don’t think so, because I saw few people writing here that stopped their Camino due to some injuries. I’m the other hand, this thread is helping a lot of people to understand or clarify that the...

    You are totally right but unfortunately the love to continue walking was stronger than stop a few days in Burgos for recovery. Definitely, it has been another lesson!😉 Thanks

    My dear, I’m speechless of what you said, but I can’t get upset of it because you don’t even know what does mean the word “failure “ says to a pilgrim!!!!! I really hope you will finish your journey and also the Camino will teach you something....... you need it!

    The unpredictable ends of my Camino!

    If you read my report, I used poles every day except while I was doing the downhill towards Burgos plus I did it too fast without distribution the weight carefully. I received a lot of advice. I wrote already on my first report, THANKS TO EVERYONE for the advice. Without them I couldn’t deal...

    The unpredictable ends of my Camino!

    My dear, the Camino is something that every single person does as he/she wishes. I could think the same of your way how to do the Camino, spending 40 days and walking always, since the first day, with people instead of enjoying the peace of silence walking alone. But I don’t like judging what...

    Unfortunately it didn’t works. I’m still injured and the doctor told me that I have phlebitis plus micro fracture, due to too much stress, on my shin splints of both legs!!! I need a long recovery 😢

    The unpredictable ends of my Camino!

    Well, it doesn’t happen always. It’s not a rule! Sorry if I say it but I have been training myself since 3 months before the Camino, walking 30 to 40kms at day. I found out that for people like me, that live in a big city as Sydney, the terrain is never or even similar of what the Camino looks...

    Not really! I was walking everyday taking anti inflammatory every morning before start and wishing the day after it would be better. By the way, many albergues has the massage service for pilgrims. I tried once in Los Arcos, but it wasn’t good enough honestly.

    The unpredictable ends of my Camino!

    Hello to everyone, Some of you already know me due to the many questions I asked trying to be ready for the Camino. I have to say thanks to everyone for helping me to prepare all the necessary to put on my backpack (at the end it was only 5.3kg) and all the others things that I needed to know...

    Traveling with backpack

    Thanks to everyone. I would like to tell you that I just did the check-in at the airport in Rome flying to Madrid and, as many suggest me, I put my backpack as cabin luggage because small enough to fit in the cabin.🍾 Regarding the trekking poles, I took it with me inside the backpack, all good...

    Traveling with backpack

    Thanks to everybody! You guys are amazing!!! After many questions in the last few months and a lot of advice read, tonight will be my last night (only for the next 3 weeks) sleeping in my bed. It’s time to pack everything and tomorrow I’ll flight to Pamplona 😍😍😍

    Traveling with backpack

    Yeah but I’m bringing a few things that are more than 100ml, like deodorant, toothpaste and a razor too.
