    Davo reacted to SabsP's post in the thread RIP @annakappa with Sad Sad.
    Dear forummembers, It is with great sadness I inform you of the death of @annakappa. She and her husband fraluchi ( who was also a member here ) were very active on this forum. They were both gentle and wise people. They were always generous...

    At all costs, take the river route even if you have to walk around a construction site. The other route is possibly the worst 6-8 kms of ANY camino!

    On my first Camino with my granddaughter, we used to stop each afternoon and have our Cervezas. She would order them each day speaking Spanish. And we must’ve been about halfway through and on this day she told me “Nana, it’s time for you to...

    #1 I put my foot up on a chair in a café. I don't know what was going on in my brain (or to be precise, what didn't go on in there). I usually would never do that. Ever. Have never done it before and never again in my life. But somehow my brain...

    Davo reacted to dougfitz's post in the thread Sleeping bag or liner and blanket with Like Like.
    I have always walked with a sleeping bag (+5deg C) and permethrin treated silk liner. The silk does nothing for bedbugs, but the permethrin treatment provides some protection. I use the liner as a precaution most places I stay, including in...

    Davo reacted to Bradypus's post in the thread OK guys, what underwear? with Like Like.

    Davo reacted to Kiwi-family's post in the thread Has the Camino lost its way? with Like Like.
    I tend to think it's a matter of perspective...and all that on a continuum. In comparison to the pilgrims who walked from home in the Middle Ages or who do so today, I am a softie, hopping on three planes and a train to get to wherever I deem my...

    Davo reacted to J Willhaus's post in the thread Has the Camino lost its way? with Like Like.
    Well, things are different now. People are walking the Portuguese for several reasons. It is shorter for one than starting in SJPDP. It is also easier to get to Porto,. It does walk through a beautiful landscape (or so I have heard since I have...

    Davo reacted to ebhcphoto's post in the thread Ranking my top 10 foods from the Camino with Like Like.
    Hi all! One year ago I started the Camino Frances. It was my first time backpacking and my two biggest concerns were "where do I sleep" and "what do I eat." So I wanted to talk about my experiences with the food I relied on based on...
