Hi all! :) Angela here. I am in the middle of my Camino at the moment. I am staying at León with a wonderful walking buddy I've made since the very beginning of our walk from Burgos. It's going great- except I developed tendinitis in the knee and have a hard tape wrap (artwork by el doctor) on...
Waiting to board in the airport now- I ended up bringing just two pairs of socks and underwear (darn, now I wish I just kept the three haha) but hopefully things will still go okay.
I brought my down, platypus, my rain jacket(which is also a windbreaker), and my journal. I ended up leaving my...
uh oh- I thought that that's what people were doing! Take the needle and thread, heat up the needle to sanitize, let the thread soak up the blister... no? :confused: time to add something else to the shopping list.
Thank you! I forgot to include the first aid kit and the headlamp as couple of the things I wasn't sure if I should bring! I am still rummaging through my things to find a thread and needle kit. I'll keep those things in mind!
I'll be doing a lot of last minute shopping at the airport when I'm...

Thanks so much for the quick reply!
sleeping bag liner- yeah I did a lot of searching over the forum and it seems that the majority seem to say a liner should suffice at this time of the year. Do you think I should get a bag when I get to Spain?
Ear plugs- yeah I was hoping to give them out...
Hi everyone,
I'm taking my first camino in less than 24 hours! (woot woot) I am walking alone because I have lots to think about, but I would really like to make some friends and walk in a group because it seems like a perfect time to make deep connections with others. Does having walking...
Hi peregrinos! In less than 24 hours, I hop on the plane that will take me to Madrid and then the bus that will take me to Burgos. I am so excited, but worried that I haven't packed well enough! Will I bring too much stuff? Forget something crucial? Take the wrong thing? Please pitch in anything...
Hi everyone! I've actually created a thread elsewhere before without introducing myself here because I was feeling just a little bit shy and thought no one would care much to look at my post here. :oops: However, I've been browing posts for weeks now and have realized that this is such a...
Hi everyone! Wow is my reply late! Thank you so much for the overwhelming amount of helpful replies.
I also meant to ask about the ride from Santiago to Madrid. Could I bother you one more time to see what that's like?
