      Out of a genuine sense of curiosity, may I ask why? I may be missing out on something, but I’m not sure what it could be. ‘Mind your own business!’ would be a perfectly reasonable reply, of course.

      I use "Relive". It records your track, as well as a graphic elevation profile, inserts any photo's you take along the way at the appropriate spot, and allows you to create a daily video of your travels. I start it in the morning and it runs...

      It is disappointing for a pilgrim who really wants to see the botafumiero swing but does not. However, lots of pilgrims have been disappointed but still went on to realize they had had a special pilgrimage anyways. And regarding time for...

      Everyone needs to understand that this mechanism is hundreds of years old. It employs precise geometry and engineering - for the time. All the parts are custom made. You cannot just go to the local DIY store for replacement parts. When the rest...

      I'm also in the bring more next time club. This time a big towel, a dress for both sleeping/wear doing not walking things and I am actually considering my I-pad. Not comfort, but it looks like I'll have to do some online work some evenings and...
