to have short hair or long hair is a personal choice. my preference will be short hair as it is more manageable and tidy. nobody will really pay any attention even with gray hair showing. we have, including me, many senior citizens walking the caminos with greying or gray hairs.
buen camino.
hello beth-o,

i believe the so called bed race is a myth. many peregrinos are following the suggestion and recommendation of the guide books as to the stages. if you are flexible and be prepared to go off stage, you should not have any problem of finding a bed.
of course there are times when you will...
I said and will continue to say prayers with or without words on my caminos. I am always forever thankful when i get to the next pueblo or going up a hard to walk hill. If the church is open, i will go in to say a prayer , counting my blessing and thank god for making it possible for me to come...
Thanks again, tia valeria. I actually give up trying to access the website using internet explorer.
I have just upgraded yesterday to ie 9, maybe the problem will go away. I will just access the forum through yahoo which did not give me problems.
Have a happy christmas with your family.
As i have mentioned before, weather is very unpredictable. This past spring has been quite cold and wet as reiterated by footek. I walked the same time in 2012 and the weather was hot and no rain. I have only encountered three days of rain as i entered o cebreiro in galicia. But it always rain...
Thanks a lot tia vaaleria for getting back to so quickly.

Thanks, tia valeria.

Another question, i am not using google chrome as it is imcompatible with my other programmes. The internet explorer is the menu that slows down my connection when i tried to access this website, could it be something is...
I think i got the answer to my first question. If i access yahoo website, i have no problem. If i access google, then this is where i have the problem of accessing the cds forum.
Sometimes when i want to reply to a thread, there will be a mention at the bottom of the webpage "write your reply...". This "write your reply..." Is not always there for you to reply to a thread, so what happens is you can not reply to a thread. What ever happened to the disappearing "write...
i have been having trouble accessing the website. i don't know whether it has to do with my internet connection or your website has been busy and slow to be accessed. doe anyone else have same problem.

Hello travelling goddess,
Firstly, welcome to the forum.
I am assuming you will be walking the northern camino routes. Weather this past spring has been quite wet due to a late winter. In general weather in northern part of spain will be unpredictable. So layer your clothing. It is always safe...
Hi biloute,
Try booking.com as suggested by falcon and tia valeria. I have used this site regularly and they are quite reputable.
Another site you might want to consider is airbnb.com. This site is on a private to private basis and is also quite reputable. You can rent for a shared room...
hi jirit,
i do not understand you were limited to 250 euros per day for withdrawals. my experience has been i am allowed to withdraw the equivalent of £300/day, the same as in the uk. many of the banks and building societies will let you withdraw only this amount at the atm. but you will be...
To change the subject, if you are a santander customer from the uk, you can use your santander debit card to withdraw money from santander bank or atm in spain without any fees. Although you can take out only the equivalent of £300 sterling per day, at least you can take out smaller amount...
