    Camino Finisterre - warning.

    I think you became quite clear about your point, thank you for that. Everyone is now able to make a educated decision like you did. But please do not try to hurt this small business.

    5 things most pilgrims don't do on the Camino (but should)

    I have to dissent on the widow issue at least for the Europeans from Germany. Most Germans I know like their window open while sleeping.

    German Camino - Some advise

    I can recommend to join the FB group "Jakobsweg Begeisterte" (=Camino Enthusiasts). They are very active and could help you even if you post in English. If you need help in Trier, please contact me, I have family there.

    Arrrgh. . . It's Too Red. Will It Be Like Carrying An Easter Egg?

    Arrrgh. . . It's Too Red. Will It Be Like Carrying An Easter Egg?

    I just got red Osprey one which not Red enough for my taste. For me is visibility of the colour important. Actually not emportant enough to use a bright neon green one or - God beware - a neon pink one. 😁

    Decision made

    Bringing CBD Oil to Europe in Luggage
