    What about “té con leche”?😀

    On my last CF I had tea all the time and I did not have one complaint. I always asked for tea with lemon. Nearly all cafes did the tea in an amazing variety of tea pots. I found it it all wonderful and I'm looking forward to doing the same next month. The only time I used tea bags, which I...

    Wearing glasses when it rains

    My poncho hood has a visor attached to it which comes down over my face. Like you I also wear glasses and the times I have walked in the rain I found it worked quite well. This particular poncho is an all singing and dancing model in that it can cover my back pack, it has a heavy duty zip at the...

Very nice evening meal, I made some nice friends at the communal meal. Its in a central location with...

    To Graham, My flight was from Stanstead. It normally operates daily but like your flights it can change. Whatever I do has to be Covid compliant so there is no question of spending a night in France otherwise you have then to quarantine. I’m now looking at Madrid and then train to Roncesvalles...

    Lightweight sleeping bag October - November 2020

    Hi Graham, I was due to fly to Biarritz this Sunday, but because of what Ivar has said and the introduction of quarantine in France for travelers from the uk. I now plan to do camino in October. So I think you will not be alone. We must not let grass grow on the camino.
