    Anyone using a Drone?

    :)Be aware that Spanish military can be active without indicating it very clearly. You might find a free albergo before you thought about it.

    This is why you take a cell phone on the Camino

    that's exactly what wolves do. that's their very special beauty. so as sad as it is for you, you came as close to mother nature as possible with them. you were lucky to see them twice from a distance. but it's true, our encounter was not just something on our bucketlist (which is already long...

    This is why you take a cell phone on the Camino

    With an increasing number of pilgrims, esp on the more difficult routes accidents will happen more often. Everyone has to prepare and ask him/herself: can I do this under all circumstances? can I do it alone? My husband and I walked on one camino into +/- 60 vultures in the middle of our path...

    Toilet tissue on or by the trail

    Yesterday I paid euro 2,12 for 80 dogbags in a nice animal print colour. Bought them for my two doggies... During holidays and walking we use them for all kinds of stuff. If you cannot eat your bocadillo, put what's to much at that moment in the bag (a fresh one!) and put it in another pocket...

    Real Pilgrims

    If other people put their big boots on what you consider sacred that hurts. If somebody feels authentic anger, pain or anything he or she should find friends here to find comfort and peace. And I hope that with what's said this peace has been found. Also I do think, that the old pathways deserve...

    Walking buggy

    In Holland they still rent them out. Click on the calender.

    Walking buggy

    I am not 100% sure, but I think that Radical design in Holland also rented them out. If you bought it afterwards they would take the rent of the sellingprice. I looked at it some years ago, so don't know if my information is still correct... Never used one. But if you want to take a tent it...

    Did you see the Botafumeiro?

    And?

    Compeed Plasters

    I ruined my heel with it. Ended up with a real severe problem after what started as a simple blister. I can walk with it, but always in a limited distance. Over 20/23 km. it hurts like hell. Days of 30 km and more are no longer possible.

    Did you see the Botafumeiro?

    No, we didn't see it.

    Camino Portuguess with 11-months old baby - has anyone done it?

    Camino Portuguess with 11-months old baby - has anyone done it?

    There is a right time for all things. And walking with a child in August a Camino seems not the right thing to me. Only the risk of dehydration for the precious little one..... would be enough for me to think about an other way of spending my time.

    Pagan takeover...?

    Hola, If only, according to my church, :arrow: :arrow: true Catholics would walk the Way to Santiago it would be very quiet on the road. I would not be there. Yet I am a Catholic.

    Madrid to Sarria

    Indeed, cheap with Iberian Express. Be aware if you buy the more expensive Iberian flight. At the gates they have two indications. One for Iberia and one on another messageboard for Iberia express. After the gate they put you with Iberia ticket in an Iberian Express machine on a cheap chair. I...

    For your own sake, come prepared!

    While walking the Camino de Madrid we had to quite due to my 25 years old son. He already went 3 times a week to a fitness for a long time, bikes etc. But: couldn't walk for a couple of days. His knees and feet "killed" him... Before we left he said to me: mum, if I walk to fast, tell me...

    Did you frame your Compostela?

    No, I wouldn't frame it and next time I wouldn't get one. The stamps refer to people, places, food etc. Looking at them makes me happy and triggers lots of memories....the Compostela doesn't. It's just a paper which makes me remember a quite unfriendly priest. The only unfriendly person we met...
