    Camino with a 1.5 year old May/June 2017

    Bec, first let me go OH WOW !! What a fab idea. And what a lovely, lucky little girl. I haven't walked with MY girl yet but have met a few with infants. My first offer of my two cents would be: keep the luggage to the very bare minimun. 60L is a LOT OF STUFF. You may consider carrying a 35L...

    LIVE from the Camino Was I conned or what?

    I don't give to "professional" beggars. Maybe once or twice... but not usually. And I've met over-friendly people as well and lost an Iphone in the process. I have often fallen short of funds myself.... waiting for bank transfers and so on... and at times such as these, people would actually...

    Do I pack it, or don’t I?

    Jill.. YES to all of these items. You could also get a water proof windproof jacket. Light, effective and very useful. Importantly: make sure you are warm and dry. Does a lot for one's well-being. I love a good morning coffee :). And if you can save a few cents making your own, go for it. Money...

    Couple fined for starting a fire in Finisterre

    Karthar1na... I absolutely LOVED it in Fisterra. I met some pilgrims I hadn't seen for days and they were at a cafe and we all "wept" together. I felt a huge weight being lifted off me. They were a Mom and Daughter team, btw. The kind lady paid for my tea when she left. I was beautifully amazed...

    Couple fined for starting a fire in Finisterre

    .Kanga, I have also "heard/read" that in the old days, pilgrims arriving at the Cathedral were advised to get their clothes burned and also given "new garments" to wear before entering the Cathedral. Both symbolic and practical. Those must have been the days..... I met a kind lady in O'Cebreiro...

    Journey begins

    David. Agree with all you've said. I'll throw in my two cents and say that the Camino Call is one you cannot say NO to. As in, no one just GOES on a Camino. I believe there is a CALL. BTW what's the "no longer wanted" table at Roncesvalles?? I don't remember being at one when I was there. Did I...

    Dear AuraLT, You Camino Virgins make this forum soooo special. First word... R E L A X. You will be on the CAMINO.... perhaps the greatest moment of your life.
