    How do you secure your backpack from theft as checked luggage.

    If arriving or departing from cities in France

    In October 2017 I missed my flight from Paris to Sydney due to a French air traffic controllers strike which left me stuck in Barcelona for about 36 hours. So even air travel is not immune to strikes!

    For Aussies, wondering which credit/debit card/s to take on Camino

    I used a NAB Traveller Card (similar to a cash passport). When making withdrawals a choice was given to withdraw with or without conversion. I chose 'with conversion' once and had the same experience - euros treated as A$. Needless to say I quickly learnt that lesson! Otherwise it worked well.

    What is the one albergue you would avoid?

    I stayed here in May 2014 and agree that it was terrible! There was one shower & toilet upstairs for about 25 people and the bathroom flooded when you took a shower.

    Class of 2014

    It's great to see so much happy anticipation, and I've definitely got it too! Should be starting from St Jean on 8th May - all travel bookings made, etc. My only problem is shoes - I still haven't found a pair that fit well but will keep trying. The perfect pair must be out there somewhere...
