The electric coil changed my life on the Camino!
Like Margaret, I also stayed in Acebo but in the Pension "La Trucha". The owner had forewarned me the previous evening that the water is turned off overnight in the village until 7am.

John Brierley book
Hi Karen How about me bringing my copy of Brierley's 8th edition, 2012 that I've got from Amazon, to Wellington next time I come. You can then give it the once over and compare it with anything else you may already have, before deciding if you want to purchase it from Amazon. That way it won't...- Yvonne

Class of 2012
Tim I'm coming over from New Zealand and arriving in SJPP on 07 Sept. My date might be a little later than what you are planning, but I'll certainly look out for you. Do I keep an eye out for a Canadian maple leaf on your backpack? Well done on your progress in training! I'm only starting now...- Yvonne
