Wow -I’m lost for words. You have given it everything.
I think this is the safest way. I’m like you- I’d prefer to carry my own pack if possible but it’s more important for you I think., to give your poor body some help … don’t over stress it this camino. I see that you are very strong and...
Usually on booking dot com .. there is an option on the reservation to ask a question / directed to the accommodation booked.
I’d pose your question to them.
So good to read this and must say - that it is obvious reading your posts that you have relaxed and are really ‘getting it’
So good to hear about your friend Teresa .
Buen camino
@psalmone1
Me too- (I haven’t read all the responses etc).
I rarely see threads about corns on here
In 2016 I had started Le Puy route with intention of walking from Le Puy to Santiago de Compostela …. However ., although I’d never had corns in my life before … I developed 2 corns inside...
I enjoy a nice ‘cuppa tea’ with milk too but I’ve found it often difficult to order at a bar in Spain; HOWEVER…. whilst walking with friends last year …. One of them was familiar with what was available and had no problem at all asking and receiving tea (but without milk)…. It’s a refreshing...
Hi @Thornley
This poll is a bit like watching the Melbourne cup 🐎🐎🐎. (over a longer duration !) I keep checking to see who is winning. 🤣🤣🤣
We were doing well at the beginning , but the 60’s group has pulled ahead strongly now. .
Pics of the changes around Atocha train station. (Mentioned above but I couldn’t fit the extra pics there. ). Also shows the airport bus stop at Atocha - bus 203 ; and last night a little wander around SOL after the rain abated … right beside my accommodation a few doors down from Puerta del...
…..take #3….
Tuesday 9th. I fly out late tonight - so I’m in your situation.
How I love Madrid. The sun is out - a beautiful day. So much to absorb.
I’ve ambled all over today. I checked out exactly where the airport bus stop was at Atocha. A note for anyone arriving or departing...
I’ll bet you amazed yourself. I’ve often ‘been there’ and thought ‘ how can I walk a stage tomorrow without any sleep ?’ But I somehow find the energy next day. I think the fact that we are ‘resting’ our bodies works the magic.
I agree with @J Willhaus though… it’s lovely to have a private...
…..take #2…..
I went out without rain jacket and 10 minutes later the clouds and wind arrived 🙁 and a little rain. I decided that it might not be as pleasant as usual so headed indoors.
…. So…. Have your plan B or C 😀.
I’m back in Madrid right now Jill
Just enjoyed a menu Del dia at El
gaucho. (2 doors down from my accommodation at Puerta del Sol ). Now I’m heading off the enjoy a lovely saunter in el parque de retiro.
I’ve been there many times but it’s so relaxing…. I understand at the end of your...
Yes Chrissy
I usually bring both too. Often end up having to empty my travel size shampoo and conditioner before leaving Spain., because when in accommodation that provides it - I use it.
Admittedly this time … I’ve messed up with flitting about trying to find drier trails with less mud and...
Although I’m happy to use normal soap for washing clothes; after multi caminos , I still haven’t tried using same to wash my hair. I really will have to test it at home one day 🤪🤣
