Looks like lots of people are starting in September! I will be starting in Porto around 15th September. 23 female - Long, red, curly hair, can't miss me!
I will also take Dr Bronner's castille soap. I use it normally for hair (as shampoo) and body wash, you can concentrate it down with water, you don't need much at all!
Thanks for all responses everyone.
I ended up buying a Quechua 1L bottle, something like aluminium, weighs nothing.
Yes, I figured that there would be lots of plastic bottles discarded, which is really dissapointing. That's why I wanted something sturdier and re-usable.
I'm doing the...
This and the "fear" topic are all very interesting reads.
For me, my fear is not worrying enough. Sound strange? I don't think you could even call it a fear, just a concern. I am not worried at all. I am super excited. I bet that I'll have some nerves when I first arrive in Porto and start...
Hi pilgrims,
I am Catherine, 23, Aussie. I live in Europe and am spending a few days in Marrakech, then making my way over to Porto (bus, train, ferry), and walking up north to Santiago from approx Sep 15-28.
Super super super excited! After the Camino, I will say goodbye to my friends in...
Thanks for the advice Falcon.
Am definitely most not fashion conscious even in my "normal life".
I was also thinking of just layering things, but a liner seems like it would be adequate.
I have allowed 13 days to get to Santiago. I have not worked out yet, but may end up staying in a / some town/s along the way, if I find out that they are worth more than a day.
My questions are, what would I do if I were to arrive in Santiago a few days before my flight? Can I hang around in...
I was also wondering about my first night in Porto. Since I will be travelling via train, bus and ferry from Marrakesh, I don't know the exact day or time I will arrive in Porto.
I have actually been looking at places to couch surf, might be a fun way to start of the Camino, with a local :):)
Is it possible to eat only on supermarket/shop food? I guess I'll treat myself to the occasional restaurant/cafe/pilgrim's meal, but I am such a ridiculous budget, it is well,........ridiculous.
If I were to set off in the morning, will it be easy to find a shop with enough food for the day, or...
I would also like opinions on this as I'm trying to figure out what type of silk liner to buy, if there's a difference?
Also, after seeing the second reply, should we be treating all our clothes/materials that we take to prevent bed bugs getting in them? If so, how do we go about doing this?
I...
Hi all,
Sorry if this has been asked already.
I want to know what type of water bottle I should be buying and what size?
Will any particular made bottles (e.g. aluminium) have a funny taste?
Any recommendations for something that is very eco-friendly?
Thanks,
Catherine.
Can anyone explain the differences (if any) between particular liners? Can you get them anti-bed-bug, or with permirithin treatment already (sorry about lack of correct terminology / spelling)?
Are there different ones for different temperatures?
If I were to avoid taking a sleeping bag in...
