The man with the coffee and chorizo stand on the 17 km path to Calzadilla de la Cueza was very angry when he saw the bites on my face, arms and legs. I have been unlucky with bites. Most people have blisters, I got bitten. There is great disagreement as to where I got them from and whether they...
John Brierley mentions the Albergue Emaus on Calle Mateo Cerezo in Burgos. I found my way there after a long day´s walk. From what I could see, it no longer exists and the building looked very shabby and abandoned. I believe the very new albergue in the city centre will be opened soon, but I...
I can't believe it! I am leaving on the flight to HK/ Paris from Adelaide tomorrow at 11:10 am!...My pack is too heavy....so have been making big decisions to get the weight down. But soon I will put my feet up and relax on the flight. I love flying because I can do a lot of peaceful reading. I...
Yes, I agree Kiwi nomad Margaret, our departures are getting closer and closer...mine is 34 days away ....arghhh....can't wait! but also a little anxious as I am concerned about being cold and wet, which Arn said is NOT GOOD.

Hi everyone!
Am so enjoying reading through the forums. :D
I was wondering if anyone has attempted to learn Euskera (Basque). I can speak Spanish, so I am thinking of learning a bit of Basque before starting my Camino in April 2008. Has anyone ever come across any free websites where I could...
Plantar fasciitis! Have you ever heard of this? Neither had I until 3 days into the start of my training for my Camino next April :( .... I started walking on the flat near home with my dog, feeling really well and did 30 mins the first day, 40 the next and 45 on the third day very comfortably ...
It's my birthday today, and I wandered into a lovely new bookstore, thinking about el Camino and wondering if I might find a book about it in such a small shop. I wandered into the crescent moon-shaped shop and followed the headings along the crescent looking for Travel or...
Hi! My name is Clarisa and I have decided that my major goal at this time is do the Camino in April/May 2008. As I am not very fit, must quit smoking, and lose some weight, I have decided that this is something I must do. This is the hardest goal I have ever set myself and I know that once I...
