    Great! Thank you! I just sent David an email to check on getting a wall map before I leave in 19 days for St. Jean Pied de Port. ¡Buen Camino! ..

    Updates for John Brierley's Camino Guide App for Smartphones can be found here: http://www.mobilemonday.hu/wp-content/uploads/eCamino.pdf "Coming Soon" Hope this helps. ...

    Tablet, smart phone, paperback, or nothing

    I found a great converter for EU, from "Walkabout Travel Gear": http://www.walkabouttravelgear.com I have two [2] as one [1] is a back-up. The "Walkabout Solution" weighs 4.0 oz. / .116kg and is a much better option because it has a USB port and various fold-inside prongs for Spain, Britain...

    Tablet, smart phone, paperback, or nothing

    This is a great charger: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DTXA578/?tag=casaivar02-20 And, this Fuji camera is the most light-weight [ 5.5 oz. / 160g ] that takes two [2] AA batteries that do not recharge [ but you can replace along The Way ]...

    Tablet, smart phone, paperback, or nothing

    I, personally, love the Brierley book because it is very detailed, colorful, easy to read and a nice dimension for pocketing - but it is HEAVY. [ 11 oz. or 311g ] Gerald Kelly's book is LIGHTER, but is all black and white, not as easy to view. [ 7 oz. or 198g ] And, Robert Hamilton's guide...

    How can I avoid blisters!!!???

    I am leaving Indianapolis via Atlanta to Madrid on 9 Sep 14 but arriving in Madrid on 10 Sep 14 at 08h35 and taking three [3] buses to SJPP. I will be staying in SJPP until 13 Sep 14 and only going as far as Orisson, France [ Refuge Orisson ] to get as much out of my pilgrimage as possible. I...

    How can I avoid blisters!!!???

    Thanks! Your assertion is well thought out and presented but, the research I have reviewed [ endless debate huh? ] is that colloidal silver's effects, even though it's been around for over a hundred years, has not been published in any respectable medical journal. And, I quote, "due to the...

    How can I avoid blisters!!!???

    I personally have not yet trained on a rainy day but plan on doing so in the next 30 days before I leave on 9 Sep [2014] for SJPP. My Nite Lite Outdoor Gear Men's Zippered Rain Chaps that snap-loop over my belt will keep my lower legs and top of the Moabs from getting wet underneath my Poncho...

    “All” Albergues on the Camino Frances in one pdf

    . This is great! Thank you! However, it is a bit difficult to read on my Galaxy S4. It is probably much easier to read on a tablet with it's larger screen. I printed it out and had it bound with a plastic cover, front/back [ for protection ] and will roll it up and stuff it into my backpack to...

    The Corazón Puro now open!!!!!

    " I don't care what you think about us, about Europe, about Spain, I don't care how you arrange your things in your country, but what you have done it is more than enough. Please stop bothering us with your messages. I can not imagine that any other place on the Camino or anywhere on the Earth...

    How can I avoid blisters!!!???

    .. Wow. There is a massive amount of great information here on blisters, but I thought I would still comment. I have been training for my 9 Sep 14 trek on Camino Frances [ and on to Finisterre and Muxia ] for eight [8] months now. I wear Merrill Moabs and really love them. I heard or read...

    Looks great! Will keep this in mind and see how far I've walked when I get to Burgos. Thank you for sharing. ...

    Yep. Spell check hates when I use a Spanish word and wants to change it to an English word so "buen" becomes "burn" [ did it just now! ]. Buen Camino. ...

    Hi Sarah! A friend of mine who is walking from Sarria to Santiago with her daughter the same time you are. I am leaving 13 Sep 14 from SJPP and hope to be in Santiago by 24 Oct 14. She is from Denmark. If you hear someone speaking English with a Danish accent, tell her "hello" - she is...
