      EugeneB replied to the thread Afraid of top bed without fence.
      OP's concern/fear is not unreasonable. I can't think of any form of lodgings in good old USA not having railings in upper bunkbed. Yup. There are some things USA do better. Rare but happens.

      Hah Never say never KariannNor is right I’d never sleep on the top bunk Rails or no rails and those ladders are a no no, as Camino Chrissy said “ouch” Last year, I fell out of the bed A big bed And it wasn’t even MY side of the bed and I was...

      EugeneB reacted to Peterexpatkiwi's post in the thread Afraid of top bed without fence with Like Like.
      Which doesn't make it any less scary. In fact, one's mind is generally far scarier than reality. And there's no escaping it. @KariannNor , on my last camino I once asked younger people to swap to top bunks for the benefit of two older pilgrims...

      Perception IS reality. And it also is a very legitimate safety issue.

      Hi Kariann I am late to this thread -- but I want to offer my support. I don't see any reason for people to tell you that your fear is irrational or that it's all in your mind. I too have avoided those beds and we are clearly not the only...

      EugeneB reacted to trecile's post in the thread Shirley Maclaine - The Camino - Swimming place with Like Like.
      It definitely sounds like Molinaseca to me. As far as it not being small - perhaps it was smaller back when she wrote the book, and/or she took artistic license in the description. And Molinaseca is only about 8km from Ponferrada, so it makes...

      EugeneB reacted to Camino Chrissy's post in the thread Life-size Bronze Statues with Like Like.
      Inspired by the recent "Winding Road" and "Little Sculpture" threads, I thought I'd start another one on bronze statues on the Camino/s. I will start with my favorite; the iconic Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, and take the liberty of posting...

      EugeneB reacted to Antnix1's post in the thread How long is the Meseta? with Like Like.
      The meseta really isn't that boring or long. I believe in hot weather it's challenging for lack of shade. For many it's a good opportunity to be alone for a bit, as you won't be passing villages every 5-7km. For anyone who says "there's nothing...

      EugeneB reacted to Rick of Rick and Peg's post in the thread Scam - again.. with Like Like.
      To give you a little more detail about @David's post above: On landline phones when you hang up the phone you may actually still be connected to the party on the other end for a period of time. So if you pick up the phone again you could...
