    Reservations in private albergues

    Thanks for all the replies. Good to know I can just do it the night before or even morning of. We want to just go with the flow so I am glad it's not necessary to reserve too far out. Thanks!

    Reservations in private albergues

    Hello! I am curious how far in advance I can make a reservation at a private albergue. Is it typical to just call the day before? Or email? we aren't looking to book the whole thing in advance as we want some flexibility day to day. Starting from Leon in mid-August. The concern is that my friend...

    Taking pack on the plane?

    I am thinking of buying a new pack. I found one that is comfortable and fits well. It's 55L. Bigger than I wanted but the fit is good for me. And I won't pack it full. My question - I would like to know if people who had same size pack were able to take it as a carry on without problem? I...

    First time on the Camino

    Maybe Leon? I think you can get to Santiago in 14 days. We are going Leon to sarria in 10. I've already done sarria to Santiago and that took 5. I walk slow though. I believe it's reasonable and doable to drop a day from both if my timelines though. But based on what u said of yourself, maybe...

    advice re travel from Santiago to Sarria

    That bus info is correct. To lugo then lugo to sarria. Sorry I don't know about days they run. I just think it would be odd to not run in a Saturday. You may be pushing it in the time for an albergue. Maybe book a hotel for that first night in sarria if you expect an arrival at 9pm or later.

    Phone usage

    I have the iPhone. My mom was actually the one that told me about whatsapp right before I went on my trip last year. It was great. I could send free texts and even free picture texts! So if I was on free wifi somewhere, I definitely took advantage if this. Worked great.

    Phone usage

    A lot of places have free wifi so that is good. Texts....costs depend on carrier obviously. I have an iPhone with AT&T. It was free to receive texts but .50 to send a text. But I have whatsapp so where there was free wifi I could send free texts.

    The Pillars of the Earth

    I agree with the others about travels with my donkey. Sooooo funny! While on the camino last August, I had flashbacks from the book and burst out laughing. One particularly long, hot, dusty and mostly solitary day, I came across a donkey tied to a fence pole and grazing (his owner was down the...

    saving photos

    Is it possible to only use your phone for pictures and not take a regular camera at all? Just a thought. I like my iPhone but i am a "real camera" person. But "phone camera only" seems to work for many people.

    Is there a bus from the Airport to Sarria, or near it

    Hotel & Hostel recommendations for Lisbon, Porto, & Via do Condo

    I love Lisbon!!! Been quite a few times, so much so I now have local friends to stay with! But three times I stayed in a hotel and I really liked it. Residencial florescente. Affordable, great location, friendly staff. I recommend it.

    Hiking Shoes, or Hiking Boots?

    Hello. I am a rookie planning my first Camino trip. I have recently discovered this board and am in heaven with all the great tips! My friend and I do not have time to do the entire thing (vacation time from work won't allow for it) but we are going to do about 100km from Sarria to Santiago. So...
