    LIVE from the Camino Jensjaunt on the Portuguese Coastal

    We all have bad days, but 'Bomb Camino' seems a bit of an over - reaction! 🤣

    Medication woes

    I take beta blockers, asprin, antacids amiodarone, ramipril (stops me going into cardiac arrest again) and I also 'carry' a defibrillator/pacemaker implant in case the previous stuff doesn't work! Always somebody worse off though . . right? 🙃

    Airport buses - changes to services

    Probably a silly question, but I'm flying in to Santiago next week and have a coach to Ferrol booked from Santiago main bus station. Is this the same bus station that the airport shuttle ( Linea 24) will drop me off at? I can't remember if there is more than one bus station in SDC . . 🤔

    Camino Portugués in September

    I walked it in September last year and it was OK. You don't say which Camino you are taking though. I walked the Central route, and the Espiritual Variente. Didn't have a problem with accommodation; I just booked for the following day. It does get busier after Tui as this is a popular start...

    Re: Current Lunch Prices

    Duolingo tried to put a course together, but after many months of effort, realised that there were just TOO many differences. They decided that the the old saying that ' America and England are two nations, separated by a common language' was more accurate than they initially thought 😉

    Slow but moving forward

    Difference in walking Litoral to Central route

    Boardwalks played havoc with my walking poles though. One of my pole street feet is still under the boardwalk near Labruge. If anyone finds it, give me a shout 🤣

    New to the Camino

    Another great app is 'Camino Ninja', worth giving it a look. You'll be fine . . . It's only a bit of a walk carrying a backpack 🙃 Buen Camino

    A New Way To Walk The Camino

    I thought 'techno trousers' were something you attended raves in, in the 90's 🤣

    'Morning has broken'! 🎶 🎵 etc etc 🤣

    Roads versus Trails

    Any route that's covered by the Brierley guides has a breakdown of what's underfoot for each stage. i.e. natural pathway/minor road/major road.

    Buying shoes on a Sunday. Are sports stores open?

    True, synthetic footwear doesn't need 'breaking in'; but don't forget to allow for your feet to expand during a day(especially a Camino day!) It's normally a good idea to try/buy footwear late in the day for this reason.

    Which should I take? Sleeping bag or liner?

    Both. Silk liner weighs pretty much nothing. Carrying a lightweight sleeping bag is a bit like having travel insurance - you don't need it . . Until you do . . 😉

    Walking with a messenger bag rather than a backpack

    No, can't say I have. I have walked four caminos with a pacemaker/ defib implant though. Back packed worked for me and I carried all my gear. Might be worth giving it a go on a few training walks before you discount totally. Buen Camino

    Definition of a Pilgrim 🤣

    You can only claim an answer is easy if someone actually asked a question. . my post was simply a humorous quote. Let's not get into the tourist/pilgrim backbiting . . .

    Definition of a Pilgrim 🤣

    Probably need some fancy algorithm that takes into account if you had checked luggage,whether you drank alcohol, if you used the bathroom, and the maximum altitude you reached etc etc You also need to get your credencial stamped by the flight crew . . .

    Definition of a Pilgrim 🤣

    Flying . . . that's an option I've not considered before . . . 😄
