    Return of the Night Train !!

    Any news on the Sud Express or the Lusitania (Lisbon-Hendaye-Madrid)? I heard they had been cancelled and might not return.

    For Canadians

    I can’t resist putting my paddle into the water on this one. Prince Edward Island has some of the best hiking trails in Canada. While “infrastructure” remains as an issue, B&Bs and restaurants are never far away (in-season), and businesses are responding to increased demand. I will attach a few...

    Accommodation in Paris

    Hotel Orchidee, 65 rue de l'Ouest, 14th arr., Paris, 75014. Great place, don’t fall for the expensive breakfast, easy walking distance to Gare Montparnass

    COVID Covid and bathroom availability in Spain

    A number of years ago, I came down with a nasty UTI just as I was leaving on a major excursion. I needed to pee every fifteen minutes, and I was embarrassed buying adult “diapers,” but after awhile I found them incredibly liberating! Since then, when faced with a dearth of public facilities in...

    Have you been married a long time?

    Married four times...to three different women, and I’m still learning! My ex ex and I divorced amicably after almost fifteen years together and two (inexplicably wonderful children). We remarried after ten years apart...why?...because the bonds of history and family are incredibly strong...and...

    Trenhotel Barcelona-A Coruna

    You will not have a stranger in your sleeper! When you book on Renfe or Loco2 they will ask you are you booking for one or two persons. When you enter one, you will pay a premium price (but nowhere near booking for two). The cabin is yours!

    Luggage transfer along the coastal route

    Although I cannot confirm it because I won’t be on the Camino until October, I sent an email to Tuitrans and received the following reply from them. “The price stage by stage depends of the kilometers. For example, from Esposende to Viana do Castelo the price of the service is 8€ (the price is...

    TuiTrans on the Portuguese Coastal and Spiritual Variante

    Some folks have said Tuitrans doesn’t serve the coastal route. Can anyone comment on this?

    Experienced rail travellers only

    I want to travel from Porto to Paris by rail in October. It looks like I take the local to Coimbra B, then the night train to Hendaye, then the TGV to Paris??? How best to reserve it? Loco2, Renfe or CP? Is it true that reservations won’t be available until July or August? Thanks 🙏🏻

    Portugal=cobblestones

    I remember reading how you hated the cobblestones, Elle! Thanks to your great e-books I am doing the CP coastal in October!

    Where to buy hiking poles in Porto

    Not sure if this belongs in the Equipment forum so I will probably post in both! Where would you recommend I go to buy reasonably priced hiking poles in Porto?

    Continuous itching after returning home

    I picked up scabies in Georgia once and it’s not fun! Generally they go to hairless areas...wrists, back of knees, etc. There is usually a relief from itching, then it returns when the eggs hatch (under the skin!) and the little buggers eat their way to the surface! Generally need to do the...

    For Sale/Wanted Hiking poles

    For those of us who are flying without checked baggage, it appears to be impossible to bring poles in our carry-ons. One might therefore think that there must be a lot of poles that get left behind in Europe. Is this the case and is there a stash anywhere? Are they all in SdC?
