    Bus to Samos

    Thanks for asking! After having a bit of a think I booked the bus online! Managed easily and have ticket on my phone. Am taking a print too whilst trying not to pack my fears! In 24 hours I will be at the airport. I’m very excited.

    Bus to Samos

    I’m going to be getting the Monbus from Lavacolla just outside Santiago airport to Samos on Tuesday Is it worth booking online or ok to pay cash on the bus? Any thoughts would be welcome. Pay on the day seems easier!

    LIVE from the Camino Porto/SdC/Muxia-Fisterra Apr 27-May 20

    Thanks for sharing all of this. Your photos brought back lovely memories of my Camino from Valenca 2 years ago. I hope Ngaire is recovered very soon

    Pork in Spain

    At home in the UK I buy good quality Norfolk bred pork from a local butcher. I cook my pork for much less time than my mother would have done. Yes it is slightly pink and delicious! Spain is famous for lovely local pork

    Starting point - Vigo or Tui

    I’ve only walked from Valenca/Tui but can recommend it. Lovely walk across the bridge and both interesting towns. Enjoyed the whole route. I thought it was scenic and the towns were all worth a visit.

    Where to add a signature?

    It does! The app says you are logged in but won’t let you reply unless you log out and in again. If I go through the website it remembers me!

    A New Way To Walk The Camino

    I was thinking it would be a much better use of the technology if it assisted those with mobility issues

    Booking.com problems

    Perhaps someone has tried to hack your account to get at your payment details. That might result in everything being locked. Hopefully you can access your confirmation emails and good you had printed too.

    Cancelling Camino - Soliciting Advice

    Based on what others have said on this forum about beds there will be availability and that should not be your worry. I walked from Valenca to Tui 2 years ago doing about 15-18km a day. It was a lovely route. Took about 6 days. You could start earlier as Trecile said or carry on after Santiago...

    Taxis to Tui

    I can’t help re the taxi as I walked it. It was not at all far and an easy and lovely walk. Had a stroll around Valenca and then across the bridge and into Tui.

    LIVE from the Camino Ponferrada to Santiago de Compostela - 205km on the CF

    I’m walking from Samos in May. I’m also staying at a hotel near the bus stop and yes it does feel odd flying into Santiago and that is why I’m not venturing into the city. I’m bussing out to Samos. Your posts have made me even more excited. Have a great Camino.

    LIVE from the Camino Ponferrada to Santiago de Compostela - 205km on the CF

    Thanks for this. I will be doing this distance when I walk in May and have been a bit nervous about it. Your post has helped me enormously. I will make sure I take plenty of breaks and was planning on a long stop in Melide.

    Electrolytes

    I sometimes need electrolytes, first realising on a hot walking trip in Cambodia. Cramps in my legs can be really bad. I carry Diarolyte for possible stomach upsets and find those work fine. I try and make sure I’m getting salt and sugar alongside all that water or I have a problem!

    Samos start?

    I’ve now decided I define won’t! Thank you. I will visit the monastery too.
