Dear Sillydoll,
Thank-you for this lovely post,I think you have mirrored the thoughts of many pilgrims within
it's contents.It certainly reminded me of some of the great experiences I gleaned from my Camino.All best,Les
Hello Kate,
Welcome to the forum,I started my Camino 4 days after my 60th birthday.Roncesvalles to
Santiago,May/June 2006.
I bought a pair of hiking boots & backpack on sale at my local hardware storefor less than
$100.(cdn)....researched this great site for...
Acacio & Orietta's albergue may be new to some but I stayed with them
last May ('06),in Valoria and recommended it on my first posting on this
form in april.
It was my 9th night on the camino and the first that I felt that I was
experiencing the true perigrino hospitality.There were only...
Hi Bob,
I wish you a great Camino,I started out on May the 18th last year,
from Roncesvalles and only had one day of rain,it was "welcome to Galicia
day",hope you have the same luck!
I think I would throw in half a shoelace just in case...could come in use-ful for many...

international mailing system.
If you could carry what it is you...
It worked for me!!,I got the tip just before leaving Canada,from an ex-
army major.Vaseline applied before wool-blend socks each morning and
after 800 kms I came back with feet in better condition than I had started
out with,and only a couple of tiny water blisters en route.
It's worth...
Hi Connie,...welcome !!
I wish you a good Camino.....start with a positive attitude and an open frame of mind....find a walking pace that you are
comfortable with and after a day or two things will fall into place,every-
thing you need will be available,(you are...
I had a similar situation,I arrived in Pamplona at 1900 and the one and
only daily bus to Roncesvalles departs at 1800(weekdays),so I " did"
Pamplona for 23 hours on my way to my starting point at Roncesvalles and then walked straight thru Pamplona on second day,Zubiri to Cezur
Menor...
xm,
Unfortunately I couldn't manage with just a carry-on when I made
my camino trip,(May-June 06),as I was staying on in Spain until the October, in the Salamanca area,one of my favourite cities,so I left my
non-camino gear there!
Otherwise, like you I'm a great believer...
For trans-Atlantic travel,pack your empty backpack and all your gear into
an old suitcase or old sports-kit bag,no belts or straps or protruding parts
to get caught on conveyor belts and less likley to fall off baggage cart on
the way to aircraft,(I have worked at a few airports and have...
