We are struggeling with some issues with images and attachments not loading on the forum. This is some left-over problems from the other day. We have back-ups of everything, so nothing is lost, we just need to link things up again so that it works. In short, we are working on it. Sorry! Ivar

Could anyone recommend a nice hostel in Burgos, near the Camino? In the beginning of our Camino me and my husband will arrive to Burgos by buss so late, that the albergue will be closed (after midnight). We'll be there in the first weekend in May. All information is welcomed!

Hi Shyla, I started the Camino this year on May 8th, but had only a week to go. I'll continue on May 3th 2008. I chose the same time again because the weather and conditions were so good. Cold nights but warm days, the nature was beautiful and the albergues were not so crowded yet. It is...
Tervetuloa takaisin!
Hei Jonella!
Welcome back and congratulations! Good to hear that you enjoyed your Camino! I did just a small part this year, Rochesvalles to Logroño, but did catch the same unique atmosphere. Back home it seemed somehow empty, I do miss the experience and people. As soon...
Good points! I also had a good pair of sandals, and as the hiking boots I had became too moist ans hot, the sandals were divine. But as said, there are one and a million ways to deal with these problems. For me, the tricky business started first on the Camino, despite all training and old...
I have read some comments about Compeed and problems with it's use. I have used Compeed before blisters and after a small one has already appeared. I think that the trick is that you are not supposed to take it of every day, but let it stay as long as it holds. The istructions on the paccage are...
Bus tickets from internet
P.S: The tickets I printed out home where ok. At the busstation in Lorgoño I changed the print to a regular busticket, needed to show my passport as identification. No problems!

Camino Blues
Greeting from Finland!
I've returned back home as planned. On Saturday we walked from Los Arcos to Viana, and took a bus to Logroño to make it on time. We had booked a busticket from Logroño to Madrid for Saturday evening, and travelled back home to Finland on Sunday.
The last...
From Los Arcos
I've reached Los Arcos today. Yesterday we walked from Paplona to Ciraqui, where we found out that the albergue was aldeady full. So we slept in Lorca, in a new, very fine albergue. Everything has gone fine, just few reminders... Never, ever leave a town with little or no water...
Hi!
Left Ronchesvalles yesterday morning, walked the whole day to Pamplona. Albergues were crouded, but on the Camino it was quiet, we walked mostly by ourselves. The weather was excellent, sunshine and warm. By the route it was easy to see the results of heavy rain, but not too much mud...
I've bought bus tickets from internet from Movelia/Continental auto. The passport number was required, payed with Visa and printed the tickets from my own computer. No problems so far. They will be used next saturday, so I hope this system works!
Leaving tomorrow 06.35 to Madrid via...
Br David, that's a good reminder of how one should not forget what has happened in the past. But I agree with xm - whatever symbol we choose, I think it will always have a reference to something else also. I absolutely do not want to show anykind of disrespect or ignorence to the historic...
Hei Jonella! Maybe my answer comes too late for you, but as a Finn (female) I thought I was forced to reply :wink: ... At Partiovaruste you can find Deuter futura AC 26 liters. I fly between Turku and Stockholm (work there), and everything I need surprisingly fits in that packbag. It's been...
Hi! I'll start my camino on 9th May from Ronchesvalles. I'll arrive to Pamplona the day before and hope to catch the evening bus to R. I'll have about a week to enjoy this year, hopefully in the future could complete the whole camino.
My training has included running after, lifting and...
Hi all,
After extensive testing we ended up buying Deuter Futura 26 AC SL (fits womens anatomy) for me and Deuter Futura 42 AC for my husband. They both have the Air comfort system, and it works for both of us. Even with the mesh the pack feels very stable, and specially for me the...
I need some help. I've tried to find a way to get from Logroño to Madrid, on May 12 afternoon or 13 morning. With my internet skills the options seem to be very limited/there are none (train/bus/flight). I've also thought about renting a car, but how is the traffic compearing to Scandinavian...
Sil, thank you for the answer. Please thank also to the kind priest who clarified the dilemma for me. I could have walked the Camino completely ignorent of the context, but I think it gives perspective and guidance to know some basic facts. Now I have some, and I hope the Camino will teach me...
Thanks for the reply, Whalleyranger. It has been nice to read how people from different cultural and religious backrounds have walked the Camino. Maybe that's one of Caminos richnesses, to meet and walk with the other pilgrims.
Some practical issues came to my mind (that maybe have been...
Me and my husband are planning on starting the Camino from Roncesvalles in the second week of May 2007. Can't wait, still few months ahead... As I've understod, people are walking the Camino for various reasons. We have been given so many wonderful things during our lives together, that we...
