    Should we give recommendations on the forum?

    Of course people should give recommendations. It's completely normal to relate experiences to those who will be going through the same thing. A simple caveat of "when I was there in May 2023..." etc is good enough. You aren't responsible for changes in staff or ownership or circumstance or...

    LIVE from the Camino The Adventures of Dani7 on the Camino Francés

    Actually the difference is in the cow dung, not the flowers. The chemical makeup in the dung is such that as the day goes on and the pile heats up, certain chemicals evaporate and others come to the forefront, making for a much more pleasant odor. You can try this as you walk each day. Hour by...

    Boots or Hokas for the Central Route

    I assume by "tennis shoes" you are old enough, like me, to use that as a colloquial term for various athletic type shoes. So it depends on which Hoka shoe you are talking about. Agree with Derek-- Hoka makes a nice lightweight hiking boot. If you like Hokas you should check those out. I was...

    Light weight shoes

    Those look great. Never heard of them before your post.

    August 30, 2023 taxi from Pamplona Airport to SJPD

    I won't be there until a couple weeks later, but just wanted to say you are very kind for offering that to others. May your kind heart be rewarded down the road somewhere through another pilgrim to you in an unexpected way.

    Light weight shoes

    To be clear-- are you talking about a light shoe to walk around town ONLY? Or do you want something you might be able to occasionally swap out for your main walker out on the trail AND in the evenings.

    In Defense of Booking Com

    Excellent post and useful advice! (edit-- Meaning I find the 'roadside adverts/phone calls/storing info on phone' a great idea. I wasn't commenting on tM22 choices.)

    Clearing Customs in Madrid?

    Oh 20 that should be easier than easy.

    Le Puy Camino

    Thank you for this. This may sounds funny but-- Anyone-- please provide comments and experience on months other than May if you have them. Unfortunately work-wise May is our most difficult month to travel. So right now we are looking at all other months. Well, realistically not winter, but...

    Clearing Customs in Madrid?

    If/when you update us on how it went for you, please let us know how it went with the backpack as well. I vaguely recall someone here saying Iberia is more stringent on backpack carryons than some others. I've flown Iberia half a dozen times but never with a backpack or any sizable carryon...

    Apologies for snark

    I didn't see the thread or the comment but your intention is kind and thoughtful. Let's all forgive each other for past and future comments and understand that virtually all of us can occasionally say something which might be taken wrong or be hurtful. There is more than one reason I wear...

    RETHINK walking the Frances

    More likely they do something like this: Town A- Place 1 - Reserve June 18th Town A- Place 2 - Reserve June 19th Town B- Place 1 - Reserve June 19th Town B- Place 2 - Reserve June 20th Town C- Place 1 - Reserve June 20th Town C- Place 2 - Reserve June 21st Once they get a better idea of when...

    RETHINK walking the Frances

    There's no question people do this, but it's difficult to tell how common it is and difficult to tell how long people hold on to unneeded reservations. My sense is that people reserve a few places/locations over two or three days and adjust their reservations as they get a better idea of when...

    Walking at 4 am. Under a full moon?

    Not saying danger doesn't exist at night but this is funny to me because in my experience people are much, much more apt to look around and up and behind while walking in the daytime. When you are out walking at night you tend to focus on your footsteps a lot more and in the immediate area...

    Am I packing too much?

    This is my question to every packing list I see.

    And we're glad you do 😻
