Tooth powder: Amazon or Whole Foods has it.
Shampoo: There are Shampoo bar. I don’t like the idea of soap containers (wet soap....), got mesh bags for both shampoo bar and body soap (also use it for laundry) from Bed Bath and beyond. I got shampoo powder from Japan, love it! Not sure if it’s any...
I’m a big fan of Injinji after walked France Route 2016 and Le Puy 2017.
Only got one blister, was the day I did not wear Injinji (wear silk liner that day).
I wear it under wool hiking socks.
Thank you all !
Yes, I did read about grfive.com and the book from Cicerone. They are both very detail and helpful. Thank you !
Long Trails- Nice to know Erin’s blog. And, I’m heading NZ next month, can’t wait to explore Tongariro and Mt Cook !

Hi,
I plan to hike GR5 from Geneva to Nice summer months 2019.
I’m not super fit or active, don’t have any camping experiences (will stay at refugee, BB or hotel).
French Route and Le Puy to SSPP alone on 2016 and 17 and West Highland Way this fall, that’s all my outdoor experiences...
Like now, almost midnight, I worry about not enough time from CDG to catch the train from Gare Bercy.
Only carry on luggage, WOW airline from New York to CDG, arrive 11:30 am.
Need to catch 14:00 train from Gare Bercy.
Do I have enough time ? 2.5 hours ? With non EU passport
Bought all the tickets and made reservations for first few days.
This is not my first camino, and I travel many times to Europe.
But for April journey, I feel anxious.
Can't tell why, I nervous about plane delay, worry about my health, dream about getting lost....
Thank you Binya
I will send an email to pilgrim office in SJPP and the gite I plan to stay.
Hope one of them can keep my package for about 25 days. I plan to visit another part of Europe and I need some more "supplies".
I read from other posts about the unleashed dog issue on Le Puy route.
What if, oh dear God, what if the situation happened, barking or worse....., what should I do? Running?
