    Phrase book?

    For those that like using the phone, it's an amazing tool. The fact that I don't doesn't diminish the value of your advice. I'm sure it'll ease the worry of many so I'm glad it's there.

    Walking at 4 am. Under a full moon?

    Whenever I can, I'll sleep near the exit and will always pack the night before so that I can slip out early for just this sort of thing... I love to walk under a full moon...

    Phrase book?

    I'll be walking The Madrid, but I think my suggestion applies: Whether you use Google translate, as suggested above, or are like me and prefer a phrase book, I think you should try to speak a little of the native language, even if the person you're talking to speaks English. I believe it shows a...

    In-Theater showings of The Way — US, May 2023

    Concerning the movie: I once offered this question in a Facebook forum and deleted it because some wanted turn it into an argument. The question still interests me and I'd like to offer it here. Please move it if you think it belongs in another thread. If you and I met along the Camino, or...

    In-Theater showings of The Way — US, May 2023

    I'm probably going to open my mouth and expose my technically-challenged brain, but can you stream something in the US from an online source in Australia? https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/movie/the-way/410081347853

    Booking Ahead on the Camino Madrid?

    I know! I've always said... wouldn't it be great if there were more bookstores than bottle shops? When I found that there WAS such a place, it became one of my 'have-to-dos'. It's 27 k off to the west, from Wamba. I plan to take a rest day in the town and browse...buy a book written in Spanish...

    Booking Ahead on the Camino Madrid?

    I understand and agree with the logic of booking a couple of days in advance... especially C clearly's point of showing respect to those taking care of the albergue. My problem is that I'll be looking of detours and am lucky enough not to be on a strict time-table. I'm already leaving the...

    Sahagun to Bilbao

    Thanks. That's where I've found it. I was looking in the wrong place and once SapsP gave me the only information I needed... that there WAS buses, it was just a matter of continuing the search. THanks so much to you both.

    Sahagun to Bilbao

    Sahagun to Bilbao

    I'm walking the Camino Madrid beginning May 3rd. Once I reach Sahagun, I'm thinking of traveling to Bilbao and walking the entire Olvidado. Does anyone have information on traveling from Sahagun to Bilbao? Initial searches offer travel to Leon, then up to Oviedo and over, which seems a very...

    Camino de Costa Rica

    Costa Rica has been on my radar for some time now... This will be my next adventure... in about 6 months.

    Where do ( did ) you walk ( locally ) in 2023?

    Training is almost over. The weight of my pack is now a familiar friend. The handles of my sticks have become so comfortable to my hands that I can tell with eyes closed which is left and which is right. The crunch of gravel beneath my boots is the back-beat rhythm to the melody of the birds'...

    Starting the Camino Madrid

    Start the Madrid on May 3rd. Buen Camino Hey, Fellow Aussie. Do you have a Guide book for the Madrid. I have two... if we can find a way to get it to you before you travel. I'm just North of Brisbane

    I am feeling selfish

    Your post has been on my mind since I first read it a couple of days ago. I'd like to share one other thing... A few years ago my wife and I went on a trip here in Australia, The Great Ocean Road. My wife loved to fly and there were these glider rides, which she had never done. I tried so hard...

    I am feeling selfish

    Just my feeling, but... I'd have never had a second thought, if my wife had really wanted something "just for her". In a sense, it would NOT have been "just about her". I'd have enjoyed giving it to her as much...or, maybe more, then she would have. Enjoy it and Buen Camino.

    How many pilgrims do not ask for a Compostela after their Camino?

    This being my first Camino, I followed several sites that offered information. Slowly, my personal Camino evolved... things that didn't fit fell away and things that suited my desire emerged. All decisions, both for and against, have been based on my belief that my journey is a spiritual one...

    Where do ( did ) you walk ( locally ) in 2023?

    There are two places where I stop regularly, on my daily walks. One is the place where I am taking a photo from the exact same spot, each day. And, the other... My walk follows a road that runs along the outer edge of an abandoned, open-cut mine. It's here that I like to pause and ponder...

    Early morning coffee

    Early morning coffee

    The fuel is a definite NO No, on the flight. But, from what I've been able to discover, the fuel blocks are readily availible in Spain. At most, I only imagine needing no more than a dozen times making coffee this way. It's only for mornings I'm in an albergue with others and to get me to the...
