    DwainS reacted to Pafayac's post in the thread Pilgrimage - selfish? with Like Like.
    That is the magical of the Camino: we meet other people who do not have anything common with us, but we often become friends because first the basic questions arise. Where to sleep ? What to eat ? How to cure this pain ? For me, pilgrimage began...

    DwainS replied to the thread Alert Theft at Roncesvalles.
    From my first day on my camino I used the 3 tap method. As soon as I got up and started walking, whether from a Bar, Albergue or just resting somewhere I would tap my wallet, passport and phone to make sure I had them on me. After a bit it just...

    DwainS reacted to TravellingMan22's post in the thread Alert Theft at Roncesvalles with Like Like.
    …and after all that I rushed across a railway station yesterday and unbeknown to me, my wallet fell out of my pocket (I live in shorts largely with deep pockets but had trousers on yesterday). So much for being careful eh. Both my banks card in...

    DwainS reacted to Dougie's post in the thread OK guys, what underwear? with Like Like.
    To keep down on weight and for easy drying nylon thongs are the best.

    DwainS reacted to SFHiker's post in the thread LIVE from the Camino Almost halfway there! with Like Like.
    Currently in Fromista about 32 miles from the halfway point of the Frances! Did approx 22 miles today. Going to have a shorter day tomorrow. Life is great on the Camino for this Pilgrim! Only 1 rain day but mornings have been pretty chilly. Mid...

    DwainS reacted to Saint Mike II's post in the thread Message from the Roncesvalles albergue - a difficult day. with Like Like.
    My own experience in 2017 was that, quite correctly, Roncesvalles were admitting pilgrims in the order in which they had arrived (starting at 14.00). Given it was lunch time I opted to share a taxi with two girls needing first aid at Burguete and...

    DwainS reacted to J Willhaus's post in the thread If you had to choose to skip a part of the route. What would be your choice? with Like Like.
    I don't really agree that the last part is the least interesting. Castillo de Pambre is a short side trip from Palas del Rei or Melide. Very cool intact castle with museum/visitor center. Castromaior (iron age village/castro reconstruction) is...

    DwainS reacted to Anniesantiago's post in the thread Alert Theft at Roncesvalles with Like Like.
    That’s what the three young people believed about the “nice older lady pilgrim” who they walked from Zubiri with, and who told them she would watch their stuff while they showered - only to return to find their cash and cards stolen and their...

    DwainS replied to the thread Cafe con leche different this year?.
    Off topic just a bit, just mentioning because I like the cafe con leche as well as chocolate . In the Madrid airport they have cafe con leche chocolates. I bought 2 tins last June for gifts but I never got to taste one. This June I will make sure...

    DwainS reacted to Gekkosan's post in the thread Bar etiquette with Like Like.
    I noticed a number of small bars and cafés that were run by one or two evidently overworked/understaffed persons. In those establishments I always made sure to pick up my stuff and leave my table clean. I invariably got a “gracias” from the...
