    Camino Portugues

    Cost of accomodation on Camino Portugues Can anyone out there give me an idea what accomodation costs would be from Porto to Santiago? I am planning on going September 2010. In some preliminary reading, indications are that the 5 Euros per night thing we experinced on Camino Frances aren't as...

    Shin splint

    I too am an ex-hurdler who developed shin splints on my 2008 Camino. It started about Burgos where I picked up an elastic bandage. At Fromista I bought ibuprofin cream - what a life saver! Apply the cream in the morning, wrap the leg and walk until noon. At noon, unwrap the leg to give...

    If I had to do it over again ...

    I wouldn't buy a return airline ticket. The freedom of having no fixed return date would be great. Trundle

    Cameras or Camcorders

    I would suggest a camera that has video capability. There are scenes you will encounter that a single picture will not be enough; a slow pan is very effective. Trundle

    Trundle arrives in Santiago

    I was at Mass this morning with the lady in walker. She is amazing. I had the opportunity to see her going down the roads. Never saw her doing any really difficult sections. Thanx for posting her story. Trundle

    Getting back to Madrid from Santiago

    I was going to fly but I'm thinking that an overnight bus or train migh be a better option. It would save me a hotel night and would also be another potentially great experience. Does anyone know the schedule, trip duration and cost for each? Also, was it a pleasant experience or something to...

    Drain Plugs

    What diameter should the plugs be? Tip for washing laundry: when I cycled from Denver, CO to Winnipeg (about 1,000 miles) our group showered with our clothes on first (sometimes applying liquid soap) , then washed our bodies with soap and then rinsed.

    Bedbugs and Fleas

    What can be done to prevent getting bite? Is there a powder or spray that we can apply prior to going to bed? It would be worth carrying the extra weight.

    I bought my ticket to Madrid for a Sept 16 Departure

    I did it! Committed to doing it. I was a bit hesitant for a while becuase my father was diagnosed with cancer and was not given a timeline. Well, we were told on the weekend that he has only weeks left so I feel quite safe committing to a Sept/Oct hike. A big thanx to all who have helped me...

    Should I Leave Aug 20 or Sept 15?

    My plan was to leave Aug 20 but now I can get a ticket on a seat sale for $500 less ($1,300 vs $800) if I leave on Sept 15. Assuming a 5 week trip, will the weather be much less enjoyable by the time I reach the end of my trip if I choose the later date? Checking weather data, it looks like I...
