    Shirley MacLaine talks to Oprah about her Camino

    Thank you Ivar for posting this interview with Shirley MacLaine on her Camino. It was her book which inspired me to do the Camino, I was ashamed to admit this initially as there were so many low opinions of her book and her motives. It was your forum which gave me the practical details of...

    Having to postpone my Camino

    Hello Trish Sorry to hear that you had to postpone your Camino and hope that your sister's diagnosis will be well treated, my wife who did the Camino with me had cancer surgery more than ten years ago in Christchurch and we live life in our mid-seventies as fully as we can. Kia Koha and as the...

    Advise on going to Fatima Shrine from Santiago

    There is really no best way, we took the bus from Santiago to Lisbon to chill off and explore Lisbon for a few days after the Camino. The other reason is that Fatima is a regular stop from Santiago and most buses continue on to Lisbon. We then took the daily train from the splendid Lisbon...

    Advise on going to Fatima Shrine from Santiago

    When you use the convenient train you should note that the train station at Fatima is a misnomer as it is quite far from the town, it is a whistle stop and you need to take a taxi or the irregular bus to Fatima. There are very few travelers alighting at the station and there are not many taxis...

    Advice on mobile phones

    falcon269 wrote: A Vodafone chip from England will not work on Vodafone in Spain. The UK Vodafone SIM card bought on ebay in England for £10 postage free in July this year, had £10 installed with it; it served me well in Spain and used it mainly for texting and data was used for GPS when...

    Thoughts on photography and camera selection for the Camino

    Excellent pictures. You could add this camera sling to your equipment as it could come in handy for carrying the cameras and does not add much more weight. This snap was snapped with my old Samsung phone which I usually slip in my pocket to take candid shots as they arise. Not exhibition...

    Swinging of the botafumeiro

    The Camino to many if not most is a once in a lifetime experience, an experience we make a point to share with family and friends. It marks an important TimeLine in my (sorry to sound so self-centred) life and showing the film, in digital form, to our congregation, school, and club elicited...

    Swinging of the botafumeiro

    Sorry to have turned to this forum to ease my confusion about people taking photos and videos during mass in the cathedral. I am now even more confused as the thread is moving into bending the rules that photos can be taken if flash is turned off, and that because of the present trend of 85-90%...

    Swinging of the botafumeiro

    Am rather confused as there has been a team of hi-vis jacketed people circling around and stopped photos being taken, but at the same time they allowed certain people to stand and move around at the back and these people were free to take pictures and videos with their companions. What is the...

    Catholic Protocol

    JabbaPost, seriously, your answer has given me even more reason to respect you. You have observed both sides of the fence and can see that you have kept up the faith for the past twenty years. I would have liked to comment on your previous post about my remark about allowing women to play a...

    Catholic Protocol

    Rebecca, under your Avatar is the title Well Known Member, after reading and absorbing your comments I could not agree of any one more deserving of this title. Your apt and concise last sentence sums up exactly what millions of us should have and now doing, and why many more millions have been...

    Catholic Protocol

    Thank you JabbaPapa for these comments I wish there were more like you taking time out to explain difficult questions without getting bogged down with the minutely detailed arcana, are you following Francis interview or were you prompting him on his return from the World youth Day? :)Seem to...
