    Help finding a Video Editor for my Tablet

    I've been using Movavi, a free video editing software I found on https://www.movavi.com/learning-portal/free-video-editing-software-no-watermark.html. It doesn't leave any watermarks on your footage, which I really appreciate (definitely a notch above some out there!). Plus, it's pretty...

    Arriving in Oviedo around 7 pm on June 6th

    Thank you for all the replies! I think I will end up booking something. With having less than two hours between arriving and when they close the reception (according to Gronze), I don't want to risk not making it to the municipal. You've all been a great help!

    I stated what time I was arriving in the thread headline.

    Arriving in Oviedo around 7 pm on June 6th

    Hello, my friend and I completed the Camino Frances in 2016 and now we're tackling the Primitivo. I'm a bit anxious at arriving so "late" in Oviedo and possibly not being able to get beds at the cheaper accommodations. Should I book us two beds to guarantee it, or take our chances? Everything I...

    River route into Burgos (PDF)

    It probably took us closer to two hours. The 1 hour and 5 minute estimation isn't from the beginning of the PDF all the way into Burgos. It's just showing which route to take between the first two towns.

    Let's talk weight... BODY weight

    I started around 189 pounds. I didn't really check my weight right before leaving so this is just a guess. I came back at 167, though I couldn't weight myself until a few days after arriving home. So I lost 22 pounds, or 10 kilos exact. My legs were definitely more toned! My arms felt better as...

    Walking from SJPDP to Roncesvalles around 10 in the morning. Would it be too late?

    I had this issue as well. I emailed them, in English, with a date and request to reserve two beds on the 30th of May. They replied in Spanish, which luckily I can read. Even with that, I couldn't understand what they wanted me to do. I don't know how I would transfer funds to their bank account...

    Bed situation Ponferrada to Santiago "Just fine"

    Same here. We leave from Roncesvalles on May 31st, and I'm getting nervous because of the posts about crowds... But there is literally no other time my friend and I can go.

    Camino Francés June 2016

    You'll be a few days behind me and my friend! We start in Roncesvalles on May 31st. Maybe we'll meet up if you're a particularly fast walker. ;)

    Getting worried about a June Camino

    I am arriving in Madrid on May 25th. My friend is teaching English in Avila, so we are leaving after his school year is over. We'll be touring Madrid, Toledo, and Salamanca and then we'll start the Camino from Roncesvalles on May 31st. After reading different threads on here, I'm getting nervous...

    Carry-on Size

    Thank you! After rearranging my bag a bit, it looks a lot less bulky. Thanks everyone for the reassurance. Like I said, I've never taken anything bigger than a school backpack, so something this "big" made me unsure.

    Carry-on Size

    I bought a travel-sized bottle for sunscreen. It is 100mL or about 3.4 oz. Everything else I have is less or in solid form. I bought BodyGlide, which looks like a deodorant stick, for chaffing and blister prevention. It is 1.5 oz, but it shouldn't really matter because it's a solid, not a...

    Breathtaking.

    Carry-on Size

    Thank you! I know it's kind of a ridiculous worry. It was just something that popped into my head as I was packing and repacking my bag.

    Yet Another Packing List!

    I was thinking of bringing my old glasses as a backup since my prescription is so strong that I don't think any of the glasses at a store would help. My friends make fun of my relative blindness whenever they try on my glasses! I mean, I've had these for four years (the eye doctor couldn't give...
