    A disappointing day

    Again, I want to say thank you to everyone who has a kind and caring word or a positive one to share. Thank you. It is only 2 days on and I am doing my best to get on.

    A disappointing day

    Thank you to everyone who has given kind and encouraging support here, it has been really helpful. I don't think retaliating against him is going to help though so those who suggested that, I just say no thanks. I did walk today but was a bit jumpy when I saw a cyclist. I have never been...

    A disappointing day

    Today I was walking from Melide to Arzua - I was enjoying the walk and meeting new people and the excited faces of those who had come from Sarria. I was happy to see that the litter problem from what we had seen in 2013 was better now. About 2km from Ribidiso a cyclist was riding toward us...

    Frances map

    Someone posted a link a couple of weeks ago that was a pdf download for the Frances, illistrating each stage and what was in each town (services, accom etc). Does anyone have the link handy they can repost?

    Where to stay in St Jean?

    Beilari was great. The hosts were friendly and very caring. The rooms were very clean. Food was vegetarian and very good. Lots of wine. The albergue is across the road from the pilgrims info centre. Definitely worth staying there.

    Vaseline...or Vicks VapoRub?

    Wish I had taken a tub of vasoline with me because I have blisters now which are painful and I have had to stop walking and it was my day 3 of the Camino. Feeling :(

    First Blister

    2 days into the Camino I got blisters again, on the lateral sides of the heel and on my little toes. Had to take a day off and am feeling disappointed.

    LIVE from the Camino If the food in the fridge is not yours...

    That is just a scum bag thing to do. Some people on the Camino should not be there. That may upset some here but really, are they that needy? Or just selfish and greedy. Hope 'said' people read this. Shame on you.

    Recommendations to do the first or last part of Frances

    Last time I walked the CF I started in Pamplona. This time I am starting in SJPP and really looking forward to it. There are a few sections I will leave out in the middle. If I had a short time I think I would get to Astorga and walk from there because I loved it more. There are so many great...

    Vaseline...or Vicks VapoRub?

    I agree the right socks are key however, nothing can really prepare you for the long continuous, day after day, pounding on your feet. I know of a marathon runner who uses Vaseline on their feet and then places socks on top and has never had a single blister. I have used Vaseline with some...

    First steps from St Jean

    Why not do both? I am considering that. Walk Valcarlos to Ronscevalles and then if I am not satisfied and want to go over the mountains then I will take a taxi back to SJPP or Orisson and go over the top :)

    First steps from St Jean

    Me too Elsbeth - I will be walking the Valcarlos route. Buen Camino - might see you :)

    Mishap

    Aw Peter that's no good, sorry to hear this news. Couldn't you send your pack on and just walk a little part of each day? Shame to miss out completely. I hope you heal quickly. Kate
