    I guess we newbies need to listen..lol

    Just finished the St Jean to Burgos section last week. I took the Osprey Talon 44 this year and last year when I finished the Leon to Santiago and dont regret it. It has abit more room than the 33 which meant that it was nice to buy some stuff at the end. My pack was only half full at best and...

    Walking in Oct 2013.

    Arriving on 30th September and will be resting for a day before walking from SJPDP. See you there! Dont be scared. Just one foot in front of the other. I walked from Leon to Santiago same time last year.

    Class of 2013

    I always laugh when I read this subject line.. What does it mean being in the class of? It's not a school. You mean you are walking in the year of.. We are not in school people! We are not graduating from university or high school. You are going on a pilgrimage or a walk or a hike.. For the...

    Macabi Skirt, first impression (pre-Camino)

    Hahaa fair enough. I think I will buy one anyway. I like to collect hiking gear and clothes and maybe it may come in handy somewhere along the line for another trip. The only saving grace is that it is long so I can use it like a blanket! :P I wore very boring stuff last year on my...

    Macabi Skirt, first impression (pre-Camino)

    I am so sorry to say this but I checked out the website and I think the skirt is seriously unfashionable! I am sure it's super comfortable and dries quickly etc but I think its ugliness turns me off. I have been hunting for a skirt/skort and bought the Kathmandu Makino instead. It dries...

    Training for a marathon while on the Camino Frances

    I have the same problem although I am only doing the half marathon in November and December. I am running 6 half marathons in 2013. I should have completed 3 by the time my Camino starts in October and I will run another 2 in November as soon as I get back, finishing with the last one in early...

    Please tolerate me revisiting the topic on Camino Guides...

    I tore up my guide book and threw the pages I had walked away at the end of every day. At the end of the Camino, I bought a new guide book. It is much lighter and there is also a sense of achievement. Weird I know but it felt good to tear the pages away!

    Should I stay 2 nights in sjpdp ?

    I am going to stay 2 nights in October. I am coming from Singapore to Barcelona then another flight to Pamplona and a taxi to SJPDP all in one day so I rather stay 2 nights at a nice hotel to recover. No point being a sick hero. There is plenty of time.

    It's Different This Year

    When I was walking last year, I just told myself, if someone rubbed me up the wrong way, I would just walk away. That is what I did. I didnt put up with S*IT. I also made it a point to stay in private accomodation so that I could choose who I wanted to mix with. The Camino is not all about...

    Now I lay me down to sleep...

    I think everyone's different. When I walked the Camino last year, I didnt plan and spent alot of time worried whether I would find a place to stay and less time enjoying the scenery around me. I was also constantly calculating how many kms I will walk and where the nearest place to stay is...

    Where to stay for privacy for a couple?

    I only stayed in private accomodation along the way. Just google and book in advance if you like or turn up and ask if they have private rooms. I just planned my next trip in Oct and I prebooked all the places to stay already because I dont like to spend time searching for places to stay...

    Walking Camino Frances in October-November

    I did it last year and I know I am going to get alot of slack for this but bring a hair dryer. It's worth it for drying your clothes. I am doing it again this year when I go in Oct.

    Arriving in Pamplona

    Get a taxi http://www.taxipamplona.com/servicios_en.html I booked mine on line and they speak English. They can pick you up anywhere from Pamplona so I asked them to pick me up from the airport and take me all the way to SJPDP. It costs E105.. There are 2 of us so we split the cost. It...

    Leon to Santiago--need advice on getting to Leon

    Last year I started from Leon. I flew into Barcelona from Singapore and then took a connecting flight from Barcelona to Leon. I met no one doing the Camino on the flight. It is not very popular to fly it seems but it got me there very quickly. You can buy tickets on edreams.com. Stay at...

    My comprehensive and honest packing list!

    I didnt bring the condoms :) For my next trip in October, I am staying only in private accomodation so I am ditching the liner, the sleeping bag, the spoon/fork and the towel which will make my pack much lighter. I used my I phone for everything and brought along a Europrean I phone charger...

    Hotel rooms rather than hostels?

    There is no right or wrong way so to hell with those who think the only way to do it is to sleep in albergues. Everyone carries their own weight. It may not be physical but it may be emotional and no one understands that better than yourself. So if you meet people (like I did) who give you...

    What did you lose...??

    You wont believe what I lost! My entire trip I lost nothing until I got to Santiago. The day before I was due to fly back to Singapore, I could not find my compostela certificate! I looked everywhere including the hotel but it just disappeared without a trace. Luckily the pilgrim's office...

    Anyone know how to contact Michel & Jorge from LA?

    HI - if anyone walked the Camino Frances in September/October and met Jorge (Mexican descent from LA) and his nephew Michel, do you have their contact details? I walked with them for a few days until Molinaseca and then lost contact with them as I never saw them again (I think I was behind...
