    Take my vitamins?

    I take a few pills myself, Calcium, Krill oil, Tylenol and one prescription med. I am going for 3 weeks so just put them all in one baggy. Much lighter.........360 is sure to be much heavier than...

    Shower/bathroom etiquette in the albergues?

    Yup, what you said! I camp all the time in the summer but I am treating myself with privacy this trip. I am outgoing enough that when I want to mix with other folks, I will.

    Rain ponchos along the routes?

    I had exactly the same thoughts this morning as I packed my bag. I am taking a big sun hat instead for sun and have enough rain gear if needed.

    Those who have walked at least one Camino - What are your favorite insoles and why?

    I just used the soles that came with the boot to measure what part of SF had to be cut. Worked out well but I guess it depends if you have soles you can remove to do that.

    Lost & Found Lost Rosary

    I have a story that may give you hope.

    Rail Ninja or CP Comboios de Portugal?

    Anniespar - thanks for asking all these questions. I had exactly the same ones. I just got my ticket off CP and the site is really buggy. First you have to register and it doesn't take postal codes (with or without a space) so I just put in some random numbers and it worked. I had to try...

    Outdated credential

    Something I just read in the forums made me think - is it OK to use an old credential from 2021. I was all set to go on a Camino but the CV hit so plans were delayed to this year. I will need to get a new one, if it matters?

    Computer/ laptop for rent on Camino

    Similar thing happened to me years ago and I just went to a nice hotel and ask to rent an office space for an hour and a half. Cheap, quiet and worked out well......depends if you are near a bigger city though.

    Niggling hates (dislikes) on Camino

    How to get from Lisbon airport to Porto?

    Hi - I have the same problem and all I could find is a bus from Santiago to Lisbon that has 1 stop and takes 7 hours but I figure it will be nice to sit for a while and watch the scenery. I am interested in any other suggestions that come up.
