      SeppiSunflower reacted to Theresa Brandon's post in the thread Anybody use speedgoats? with Like Like.
      I wore Speedgoats on the Portuguese in 2022, mostly on the Litoral and including the Spiritual Variant. I size up one half size and switch to a wide version for Camino walking. No problems at all.

      I’ll be finishing the Caminho Português next month. Last year I wore Hoka Challenger 6 ATR shoes. I did have some blisters and foot pain, but a lot could have been due to the 30+km days from Lisboa to Porto. I’ve purchased some Speedgoats, as...

      SeppiSunflower reacted to rhalleyf's post in the thread Travel woes - trapped in Dubai with Like Like.
      We have been travelling from Australia via Dubai and have been caught in the kaos in Dubai airport for over 3 days. Sleeping on the floor of the airport and finally Emerites put us up in accomodation. Just arrived in Madrid 6 days late but now...

      The second bar principle is a good one in most places, but not I think in the instance above. The Bodega in Moratinos is a fine place and has excellent food, but it's not really a bar as such. The first bar, the Hostal Albergue Moratinos...

      If the coffee is particularly good, when leaving, I like to tell the barista how good I thought it was. Almost without fail this brings a happy smile. One time, on the Camino Finisterre, when we did that (raving about how great the coffee was)...

      Yes, the spanish speaking countries, and lots of others, ie Thailand, are really big on the greetings before anything else. AND spoken with a smile!

      Could be my imagination but I remember getting "noticed" by bartenders by removing my hat as I enter. Sometimes, maybe by inadvertently not following the local protocols, I've been made to feel invisible.

      Rather like those Pilgrims in the Supermarket spinning around in the aisles and almost knocking people over! Be aware of how much a pack 'sticks out'. I would normally take off my pack and put it in sight just inside the door, or against a...

      SeppiSunflower reacted to SeñorJacques's post in the thread Bar Etiquette with Like Like.
      During my Camino a few walking pals and I referred to ourselves as the "Second Bar Club", as we made it a rule to always, always stop in the second bar every time we came to a village, even if the first one looked particularly promising or we...
