Hi NB,
Arthur, my dog, stayed with my sister who lives in France. When I started contacted potential places to stay over night I was having difficulty in securing a room due to the dog. After completing the Camino, I am glad that I did leave him. I had a couple 26 mile days that probably...

Cheers!

Cheers!
