    Does anyone know why this film is not showing in Perth when it opens on Thursday?

    Money taken from my Cash Passport! ☹️

    This year I travelled to Spain with both a WISE card and my usual bank credit card. This was handy when I wanted to pay for a visit to an important monument. The Mastercard system was down throughout the area, so my Westpac card was useless. Fortunately WISE is with Visa, so I was able to use that.

    Has the dog “policy” on the Camino changed?

    I have just returned home after a month touring Andalusia. It struck me that there are far more pet dogs in Spain than there used to be. I stayed exclusively in hotels. One place allowed dogs in certain rooms on the ground floor, but I noticed that the owners were not allowed to sit in the main...

    When Posting Reviews on Gronze . . .

    When you form an opinion - good or bad - it depends where you are coming from. When I worked in Singapore many years ago, I lived in an apartment provided by the university. An American colleague had his father to stay. He said "That's the worst shower I had in my life; the water just trickles...

    It's unbelievably hot here!

    On these hot afternoons I pass the time researching and planning my next camino.

    Woman Traveling solo

    That book is excellent! But... on the cover is a woman walking in jeans. That is a no no! Jeans are heavy and even heavier and slow to dry if they get wet.

    John Brierley is seriously ill - an invitation to send messages of thanks and support.

    The Camino has been part of my life for the past 10 years. I have just walked Burgos to Sarria. At 78, I think it will be my last one. I’ve always walked with one of John’s guides and left another at home so that my family can check my whereabouts. Thank you, John, for adding so much pleasure to...

    Outraged

    I just want to say that I have never ever encountered boorish behaviour on the Camino. I’m in Cacabelos at the moment, and mostly stay in private accommodation. The big difference this year, compared to previous Caminos, are the very large groups of cyclists. I wish they would stay on the roads...

    Blogging help needed!

    Update on my issue: BlogTouch is working, but loading photos very, very slowly. I’d like to keep using it if I can. Thanks, though, for alternative suggestions which I may try if I am desperate.

    Blogging help needed!

    For several years I have been using BlogTouch with my iPhone to post my blog. Suddenly it refuses to load photos. In 3 weeks I will be walking the Camino Frances from Burgos and I really want to blog every day. Any suggestions?

    Wake up alarm

    If you want a good night's sleep, book a private room! Dorm rooms are for the young and fit and those walking long distances each day. Over 75's can take it easy and still get to Santiago.

    Reb's interview.

    Wow, I had no idea that Reb was so fluent in Spanish! I am going to redouble my efforts with the language before my next Camino at the end of April.

    Bread Options?

    A quick type of bread, often made on the ashes of a wood fire: an Australian icon.

    Bread Options?

    Try making your own damper in the Albergue kitchen. That’s what I’m doing today at home: it’s Australia Day!

    Tips and Experiences in Dealing with Bed Bugs During Travel

    Just to counter all the alarm, I have never been bitten on any of my caminos. I haven't even SEEN a bed bug! However, this year I did pick up a really bad case of toenail fungus...

    Bread Options?

    Liam, I love this video. Great for practising my Spanish! I know you were joking, but the camino is full of retirees who are not too crook, including myself.

    LIVE from the Camino Losing motivation after believing you can finish

    It's hard to have to confess to friends and family that you had to give up. Loss of face, and all that.
