    I know this comes to late for Henley, but here is a suggestion for a rest day more or less along the way: from Brienz take the old steam boat across the lake to Grandhotel Giessbach and enjoy a rest day at their natural pool, a gorgeous waterfall and an excellent hotel restaurant; the next day...

    Whether ... weather (Switz Sept 2015)

    Just returned from the Via Jacobi, and despite the heat, I had a great time walking. Especially the Einsiedeln - Lake Thun part has lots of woods and often there was a light breeze on the high plains, where there is less shade, and several times, I just did shorter distances, not only due to the...

    Via Jacobi - ferry on lake Lucerne

    Dear fellow pilgrims, preparing for my next pilgrimage along the Via Jacobi in Switzerland, I came across the fact, that the camino at one point crosses lake Lucerne (at Brunnen to Treib). I saw on the lake Lucerne ferry timetable that the ferry continues on to Buochs, a village on the camino...

    Private Lodging at El Burgo Ranero. Any recommendations?

    I had a great experience in the private albergue Santa Clara in Bercianos del Real Camino about 8 km before El Burgo Ranero.

    Best guide for reading before you go/taking with you??

    As a preparation, I would recommend "Priez pour nous a Compostelle" by Barret/Gurgand, but am not sure if there is an English translation. It gives you the medieval/1970s perspective. On the go, the phone app guide "Camino" by Eroski consumers (in Spanish) does not weigh a thing and is...

    For non-peregrino peregrinos!

    That was the medieval tradition, as pilgrims would reportedly collect a shell on the beach in finisterra and later "proved" at home that they had done the pilgrimage to Santiago. Anyway, buen camino, uphill, downhill and on the flat land!

    Hotel recommendations for Pamplona, Burgos, Leon, Astorga, S

    If you like to reward yourself on the way, the Marriot in Burgos is an extremely good deal for a 4 star. It is also very close to the Cathedral.
