    Sending my post-camino clothes from Lisbon to Santiago

    When my husband and I did the Camino from Porto in Sept 2005, we just brought our unneeded items to the post office and mailed them to Ivar in SdC. They arrived there the next with no problem.

    Toes socks

    I walked two Caminos - the Frances and the Portugues. I wore regular socks walking the Frances and had many, many blisters. On the Portugues, I wore Injinji toe socks and another sock over them and got no blisters. I would highly recommend the toe socks.

    Bra Recommendations

    I haven't worn this on a Camino yet but I have worn it to work out or even all day. I've found it to be quite comfortable and will be bringing on my next Camino - Natori Cotton Underwire Sports Bra. You can buy it in Amazon and I've also found them at Nordstrom Rack. Depending where you buy it...

    Sock liners?

    On the Camino Frances, I had blisters on almost every toe. The next year I wore Injinji toe socks and wool socks over them (and different shoes) and had no problems with blisters.

    Let's talk money...

    I brought an i-pad mini and was glad I did.

    Sock recommendations?

    I walked the Camino Francais in 2014 wearing merino wool socks and had blisters on every toe. In 2015 I wore Injinki toe socks and another pair of thin socks over them and was blister free.

    Camino Portugese- Need kind advice

    In September 2015 my husband and I walked the Camino Portugues from Porto to Santiago. We shipped the items we didn't need in a fairly large nylon bag to Ivar. It only cost 15€ and arrived in Santiago in about two days.

    Hat or sun screen

    I walked the CF Sept-Oct 2014. I never wear a hat but I did on this Camino. It was indispensable on hot sunny days and on rainy Galician day.

    Taking photographs

    I took a $100 Canon Powershot. It was light weight and had a view finder ( handy to have on sunny days). I was very happy with the pictures I took and I took lots. Since I could carry it in my pocket, it was handy whenever I wanted to take a shot.

    Who's Walking the Coastal Route in 2015?
