      MauiGail reacted to Albertagirl's post in the thread Overtaking étiquette. with Like Like.
      I solved the problem of the last 100 km for myself when I discovered the Invierno: an alternate route leading from Ponferrada to Santiago. It is somewhat longer than the direct route from Ponferrada, but avoids the difficulties of walking to...

      MauiGail reacted to Sheesh's post in the thread Overtaking étiquette. with Like Like.
      Oh dear, I got a rush of unpleasant adrenaline just reading that. Please don't tap on the arm or shoulder if you want to pass. Touching someone else, especially when they don't see it coming, is likely to produce a fear response in many, and an...

      MauiGail reacted to Mr_Ross_Duncan's post in the thread Overtaking étiquette. with Like Like.
      I've been hesitating about posting this thread. The risk of sounding like a cranky old so and so is too high, stirring up the community and getting nasty responses, (even in capitals) but here goes nothing. Deep breath. My wife and I have just...

      MauiGail reacted to Charles Ross's post in the thread Injury that ended Camino with Like Like.
      I just wanted to add some information that may be of interest to what I originally wrote above. We left on our journey on March 12th and were to return home on April 23rd. Most of our trip had nothing to do with walking a path. When we were to...

      MauiGail reacted to Robo's post in the thread Even Better than store bought Hikers Wool with Haha Haha.
      I've been a fan of Hikers Wool since 2015 when I first used it on Camino. It's wonderful stuff. Providing a soft padding and natural oils on 'hot spots' as they occur, so that blisters can be avoided! I've been trialling a new version of Hikers...

      I forgot what day it is :-D You had me going. But ok, I ordered hikers wool from New Zealand last time... Living in Norway, a sheep country, i found that really stupid. Soooo, I went on a hunt for local fiber artists/spinners. And law and...

      MauiGail reacted to 60LifeChange's post in the thread Bar Etiquette with Like Like.
      Thank you all for this information! I am starting the Camino on the 7th of May if all goes as planned. (And if you want to hear God laugh? Tell him your plans). that aside, I am beginning to study and listen to some basic Spanish, learning enough...

      MauiGail reacted to dreaming's post in the thread Bar Etiquette with Like Like.
      Was at the first, very busy bar with only one person serving. He served the guy next to me who came 15 minutes after me. I put my hand up to say what about me and the person serving went ballistic at me in Spanish. It was obvious what he was...

      MauiGail reacted to efdoucette's post in the thread Bar Etiquette with Like Like.
      Could be my imagination but I remember getting "noticed" by bartenders by removing my hat as I enter. Sometimes, maybe by inadvertently not following the local protocols, I've been made to feel invisible.

      MauiGail reacted to Robo's post in the thread Bar Etiquette with Like Like.
      Rather like those Pilgrims in the Supermarket spinning around in the aisles and almost knocking people over! Be aware of how much a pack 'sticks out'. I would normally take off my pack and put it in sight just inside the door, or against a...
