    Long lasting Bar Soap?

    I will also take Dr Bronner's castille soap. I use it normally for hair (as shampoo) and body wash, you can concentrate it down with water, you don't need much at all!

    What type and size water bottle to take?

    Thanks for all responses everyone. I ended up buying a Quechua 1L bottle, something like aluminium, weighs nothing. Yes, I figured that there would be lots of plastic bottles discarded, which is really dissapointing. That's why I wanted something sturdier and re-usable. I'm doing the...

    The other load in the Camino

    This and the "fear" topic are all very interesting reads. For me, my fear is not worrying enough. Sound strange? I don't think you could even call it a fear, just a concern. I am not worried at all. I am super excited. I bet that I'll have some nerves when I first arrive in Porto and start...

    Hi pilgrims, I am Catherine, 23, Aussie. I live in Europe and am spending a few days in Marrakech, then making my way over to Porto (bus, train, ferry), and walking up north to Santiago from approx Sep 15-28. Super super super excited! After the Camino, I will say goodbye to my friends in...

    Weather in September? Sleeping bag or liner?

    Thanks for the advice Falcon. Am definitely most not fashion conscious even in my "normal life". I was also thinking of just layering things, but a liner seems like it would be adequate.

    Arriving in Santiago early

    I have allowed 13 days to get to Santiago. I have not worked out yet, but may end up staying in a / some town/s along the way, if I find out that they are worth more than a day. My questions are, what would I do if I were to arrive in Santiago a few days before my flight? Can I hang around in...

    Electricity in Albergues

    May be a stupid question, but, can I charge my video camera every couple of evenings in the albergues? Are there available power stations in the wall?

    First Night

    I was also wondering about my first night in Porto. Since I will be travelling via train, bus and ferry from Marrakesh, I don't know the exact day or time I will arrive in Porto. I have actually been looking at places to couch surf, might be a fun way to start of the Camino, with a local :):)

    Eating on the Camino

    Is it possible to eat only on supermarket/shop food? I guess I'll treat myself to the occasional restaurant/cafe/pilgrim's meal, but I am such a ridiculous budget, it is well,........ridiculous. If I were to set off in the morning, will it be easy to find a shop with enough food for the day, or...

    Early September Camino--silk liner only?

    I would also like opinions on this as I'm trying to figure out what type of silk liner to buy, if there's a difference? Also, after seeing the second reply, should we be treating all our clothes/materials that we take to prevent bed bugs getting in them? If so, how do we go about doing this? I...

    What type and size water bottle to take?

    Hi all, Sorry if this has been asked already. I want to know what type of water bottle I should be buying and what size? Will any particular made bottles (e.g. aluminium) have a funny taste? Any recommendations for something that is very eco-friendly? Thanks, Catherine.

    Weather in September? Sleeping bag or liner?

    Can anyone explain the differences (if any) between particular liners? Can you get them anti-bed-bug, or with permirithin treatment already (sorry about lack of correct terminology / spelling)? Are there different ones for different temperatures? If I were to avoid taking a sleeping bag in...
