    After many years of hosting our beautiful albergue Luz de Frómista succesfully, we have decided it is time for a new phase in our live. That is why we are going to sell our albergue (about 240 square meter) and appartment (about 140 squaremeter)...

    I did this as well. It was perfect. Watched my US football games and shared out to smart tv. Never had to worry about a thing. Just figured on $100 per month for two months. Great coverage with their international partners which was mainly...

    pkonopka replied to the thread Albergue pillows.
    I brought a hiking/ camping pillow (lightweight and packable) on the Frances but stopped using it after a while. Most (all?) albergues provide a pillow. I carried a super lightweight sleeping bag that had the outside treated with permethrin, so...

    I’m from the US so I’m not sure it’s the same globally - but my provider is AT&T. They have an international plan which is $10 a day unlimited - maxing out at $100 per month. It’s not cheap but I found it to be the easiest way to go, and gave me...

    Camino Ninja is now being updated again. Always my app of choice - everyone has a favorite though. Best advice is to pick one you like, and have others installed as options. There's no exclusivity clause . . .

    There was a popular "glide" on the Camino - I think Tiger Balm - that a lot of my Camino friends used and liked. And, ditto the Darn Tough socks recommendation.

    Darn tough only. But I keep my toenails very short (the ones I have left) and rub my feet AND TOES with Foot/Body Glide (REI) before putting on my socks in the morning. I have occasionally seen a similar "glide" on the Compeed displays in...

    When I was 27/28 I asked God to send me a man: named Ken (to my Barbara/Barbie), 6’2”, 190lbs, single, well-educated, never-married, no children. When I was 40 on my second camino I met him in Roncesvalles at the pilgrim’s dinner. He lived on...

    pkonopka replied to the thread Socks.
    I never liked liners...they always seemed to bunch up on me - just get a good pair of socks and that's it. My go to now is Darn Tough - they make several different thicknesses and heights. Theyre not cheap but really do the job and have an...
