    Hi the tape I bought in Australia was called Micropore. In Spain it was called Leukopor. (not Leukoplast) It is a thin white tape.

    I made a blend of essential oils, that included sesame oil as a base, lavender, clove, patchouli, eucalyptus etc, I topped up the bottle about half way through with olive oil as the base.

    I can understand this Aldy, there is a longing for the simpleness of life on the Camino. So my first goal is to attain that at home. :-)

    I think it is important to do whatever works for you in foot care. I got quicker at this and could do both my feet quite quickly but foot care is important if you don't want blisters

    We do feel great and we got everything and a whole heap more from our Camino. Too much to describe, other than life is different, we are different. We are transformed.

    No problems finding a bed, but we were on the Camino during Easter and many Spanish people walk the way then, so it was busy at that time with many private alburgues booked them. We opted for off the main towns then. Life is changing and we are integrating our Camino lessons into life. Thank you.

    Hi Furness Travellers, we met a lady who had bamboo socks and even after they were put in the clothes dryer they weren't dry the next morning. I would find an alternative to those. There is lots of information on this forum about ponchos. The thing with ponchos is in the wind the tarp type...

    Sounds like your practice is working, my only other suggestion when you start walking is really listen to your body, rest when you need to, walk at your pace and don't try and keep up with anyone else. Lastly rest at the end of the day, have a lie down on your bunk, the body needs it.
