You bet. Will go in April/May 2023 to let Covid issues settle in. Not prepared to go just yet and risk contracting Covid or getting tied up in cancelled flights, hotel bookings etc., if lockdowns occur again. It was a nightmare last year trying to get money and credits back. Look forward to...
Hi
I can across this 'deaf' mob back in 2014, just past Sarria and then saw them all later in the day gathered near Morgade talking amongst themselves. I recall some pilgrims gave generous donations and when I refused they became quite agitated. Looks like a lucrative business that continues...
Hi Jacques,
Thank you for the link to Miam Miam Dodo, very good.
I would be interested in your thoughts on the Vezelay route and if you have an itinerary with the stages you did, that I could have to help me plan the route. Any tips for places to stay that were memorable for you.
Kind...
Hi AJ,
would I be able to get your 'as walked' itinerary as I am about to start panning the Vezelay route for 2017. My email address is:

Hi Davey
if the Miam Miam Dodo is still available I would like to stake a claim on it. Can you advise cost to post to Melbourne Australia please.
Looking at a possible Camino in 2017 if I can get away at that time.
All the best for the New Year.
Kind regards
Ralph
Hi Colleen
how are you going with your camino?
Don't forget to get me the photos of John Lennon's lyrics on the side of bins.
Have a great journey and enjoy the pilgrimage.
Would love to hear from you along the Way and how it is all going.
Buen Camino

Dear barbaravan
as I am in the planning stages for the Arles walk, would it be possible to get a list of where you stayed along the way? What month did you go and how was the weather, was it a 'hard' walk.
kind regards.
Ralph
Hi Bernice,
thank you for your prompt reply and the information - I was not sure if the Miam Miam Dodo was available on the Arles route but obviously it is - I will buy this on Amazon as I have used the guide on the Camino before and found it to be excellent.
Info on accommodation would be...
Hi Bernice
I am starting to plan another Camino (2014 Le Puy en Velay to Roncevaux & 2015 Roncevaux to Santiago) and look like hiking from Arles to Pau in 12-18 months time.
Would you be able to forward a list of where you are staying and what guide book, if any, you are using.
How far are...
Hi Kiwi -family.
Both.
I just completed the Roncevallees to Santiago Camino in May 2015 and the French side from Le Puy en Velay to Roncevallees in 2014. The French side was the most scenic and memorable, but harder. You can travel 15 kms on both routes, no problem with accommodation..

Hi Debb.
just completed the Camino two weeks ago, on the Spanish side. Completed the French side from Le Puy-en-Velay to Roncesvalles in 2014 (so beautiful countryside and magnificent villages).
A word of warning, when you leave Astorga be aware of the scam that is taking place by supposedly...
Hi Perdita
I forgot to mention that the return bus ticket (with Monobus) is open ended, that is, you can return back to Santiago on any day and any hour. Monobus only go as far as Finisterre.

Ralph
Hi slynchy.
Thank you so much for providing the photos. Once I have put together the sequence of lyrics, I will post these on the forum..
Have a great day.

Hi Malpica,
I just looked in my email box and there were no photos.
Could you check that my email address:
ossiemate@live.com.au
was used correctly.
Many thanks
Ralph
Hi Perdita,
I have just completed my Camino and took a return bus trip from Santiago to Finisterre/Finsterre about 5 days ago. Staff spoke good English at reception/sales and there are several return bus journeys each day.
You need to take a bus from the terminal (Bus Estascion - Google it...
Hi Viranani,
I agree, some of the graffiti I saw along The Way also cheered me up and I have attached a few photos of those that caught my eye. I will use these in my travel diary.
I also photographed the one on the wall of the underpass from which you took your photo, it is attached to this...
Hi Shades of Narnia,
now back home in Australia and sorry for the delayed response.
I have not been able to source the entire sequence of photos, so I will see if anyone who is about to travel on the Camino can take photos of the bins along The Way and send them to me.
If I manage to get all...
