Wow! That is super impressive! The Hospitales route was my absolute favourite day ( and the hardest) on the Primitivo.
No way could I have done it in 11 days!
Well done
Welcome to the forum! So sorry to hear about your ordeal. That is exactly the kind of experience we are all trying to avoid, and why we have to be so careful with our stuff when we get home!
A few Gite's on the Le Puy route are using Diatomaceous earth, in the fight against bedbugs.
"Here’s how diatomaceous earth works: each particle of DE contains microscopic sharp edges. When bed bugs are exposed to these sharp edges, their exoskeletons are eviscerated. Once the exoskeletons are...
What a lovely story.
There is no one on the desk now. You put the money in an honesty box. It feels very delapidated. The worst part, for me ( apart from the bed bugs) , is that the toilets are down some steps outside across the courtyard, and it was raining! There is a sweet kitchen area up...
Thank you dear Theatregal! To think that I didn't believe bed bugs existed when we walked five years ago! As usual, all our stuff is in the shed awaiting the freezer treatment, although I think we're clear of them now. If I can work out how to, I will post some photos !
Highly recommend La Grange, at Monbonnet, lovely clean accommodation, and great food. Also and especially Domaine de Sauvages, a well run, well thought out special place that supports local farmers.
A beautiful route ( the parts we walked ) ! More a " walkers" route , than a pilgrimage, and mostly French walkers. Loved the compost toilets, and picnic spots.
Stayed in some great Gite's, very clean, with fantastic four course meals. The demi-pension option is brilliant.
Good idea to stock...
Wow! That's sounds amazing... never heard of blablacar .... wil look into it. Sounds like a great idea. Thank you.
If you get a chance, please could you give us some more information about how this works?
And Bon Chemin
I am SO sorry- have only just seen this!! Hope the journey went well! Have been away from the forum for quite a while, but now planning Le Puy , so back again. Buen camino ! Helen
