    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.

    Afraid of top bed without fence

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

    Gite Makila

    Which means it's still a public lodging. What is it called now? Thanks.

    Please DO name a few more.

    Long pants and long sleeves in summer? Smart or big mistake?

    I do agree with you, but most soldiers are in their prime (20s).

    Camino Devil Dog Deterrent

    Great actress, but very disappointing book on Camino.

    Last night I learned I snore...

    I guess there's an exception to every rule. Also if there was a stipulation that pilgrims needed to vacate the premise at a certain time, then the Hospitalero/a can wake up the (over)sleeper.

    Only in case of emergency or personal safety, should one touch another pilgrim physically, uninvited. Just my opinion.

    Last night I learned I snore...

    While on Camino, I do my best to get private rooms because I get up 3 or 4 times during the night to use the bathroom. I don't want to inconvenience others or to risk falling/tripping in dark. On rare occasions when sleeping in public albergues, I don't take any liquids at least 3 hours before...

    Without room for misinterpretation? Have you heard of podophilia (aka foot fetish)? Sorry, I could not resist.

    Sleeping in Madrid Airport?

    Just checked for Oct. 2nd 2023 and the price was 280 euros. 3rd was 250. It seems to be more expensive than hotels around the airport. I remember getting a room very close to MAD for around 100 in September 2022.

    Albergue idea - group snorers together, away from non-snorers

    Thank you. I wholeheartedly agree with you. Huge difference between snoring and other random disturbances is CONTROL. Snoring is beyond the power of the doer. Other noisy annoyances you mentioned are within the control of the doer.

    translation for allergy to meat

    I thought so at first. Then I saw the tail. I'd say goat or sheep.
