In 2015 on the Camino Frances I met 3 gentlemen from US and they had trail names.....Iron Man, Del Boy & Turtle:)
These guy were great fun and were enjoying their first Camino immensely!
Hi Kathy,
I cant recommend a specific accommodation unfortunately but I can recommend you visit or stay in Westport. Its a small town in County Mayo near the coast. Its easy access to Galway and also easy to get to from Dublin by rail. Day trips could include hiking Croagh Patrick mountain and...
I can recommend a nice little vegetarian restaurant called Paprika Lartenda in O'Porrino. Its in centre of town, on el camino, 5 min walk to Xunta albergue.
Bom Caminho, Bom appetite
I went to public library in Santiago to use a computer but was told not possible to print! Then i tried to go to Pilgrim House on Rua Nova but could not find it.....i actually think it now it was closed that day. Then i asked at Correos office beside pilgrim office and the very friendly guy...
Are you sure its the same place Phillypilgrim talks about?? I also stayed at albergue Verde in Hospital d' Orbigo in 2013 and have to say it is an excellent albergue, yoga class and delicious veg meal by donativo.....very nice people!
I have taken disposable razor blades often in carry-on luggage.....never declared them and never had any problem. I haven't tried nail scissors and have always been curious if they will get through airport security!
Im considering my next Camino route, it will be mid Sept, starting 100km from Santiago, 5 days walking. My options are Ingles from Ferrol, Portuguese from Tui, Sanabres VDLP from Ourense. Which is more scenic in your opinion? Which would you recommend?
Thanks
Im interested to watch this DVD, has anyone seen this documentary?
I can only find it available on Camino Documentary website and the DVD is quite expensive with shipping! Its also available on Amazon US to rent download but I am unable to purchase as its not a US credit card.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Thats great Dennis, thanks for your efforts to find out this information. Looking forward to watching "Six ways to Santiago". Enjoy your vacation in Paris:)
I'm looking forward to the release of this film too. Is it true that it wont be available in European dvd format? Do you know if it would play on a computer?
I think that I would take valuables with me to the shower in a waterproof plastic bag, things like cash, cards, passport, phone and camera....or else trust fellow pilgrim to look after them and return the favour when they go to the shower!
Hi Jo,
I don't leave for St Jean until 18 Sept, so looks like you will be well on your Way by then. Hope you have a wonderful first Camino experience. Have you a return date or just seeing how it all flows??
Hi Joxer, yeah I'm ok thanks. Getting more nervous about my journey as it approaches nearer...but excited and looking forward to it. Don't think too much about your route just go with whatever one you feel most drawn too and trust that all will be ok!:)
Buen Camino

I don't think you can get 100% Permethrin concentrate! I wouldn't fancy using it too strongly to be honest in case you may have a reaction or irritation. I only intend putting some on a fitted sheet used to cover the mattress where the potential bed bugs may be lurking. I don't intend putting...
thanks Lise T,
I have seen EX8 alright...its only 100ml spray container though. I have seen EX4 too on ebay but doesn't state % Permethrin.I assume its less! Thanks for your help. :)

Does anyone know where I can get some strong Permethrin in the UK or Ireland? I have seen stuff on Amazon but it only has 0.2% Permethrin and I don't think its quite strone enough. I'm only going to put it on a fitted sheet to fit over the mattress, not putting any on my sleeping bag. Probably...
