    I'm Becoming a Bore to my Family

    Hi! Ricitosdeplata, Is there a local "Camino Group" close to where you live? It is wonderful to share experiences with like minded people who have either walked the Camino or are planning to do so. Our local group helped me get over the "Camino Blues " on return, and no one "rolls their eyes"...

    Kiwi family - we really appreciate your comments on the Portuguese Camino and it is a valuable contribution and makes us aware of how the journey may be. Yes we have trepidations but this often happens when venturing into unknown territories. Thank you for your honest comments.

    From Lisbon but we will be using bus or train transport some of the way to Porto as we wish to visit Fatima, Braga and spend some time in Coimbra and wherever takes our fancy. We hope then to walk all the way from Porto

    Thank you all, I appreciate all the comments and observations. As two "oldies' contemplating the Portuguese route in approximately 60 days time, we have taken notes and with some trepidation regarding the reports of some of the Portuguese drivers. However we, like everyone, will "Walk our own...

    Linguistic misadventures in Spanish!

    Oops ! I can see me making a few linguistic blunders. I am enjoying learning some Spanish through Duolingo and I have still have over 3 months to improve. I'll keep it simple, though I am finding learning Spanish grammar quite a challenge. Buenas noches from Western Australia

    Camino Portuguese July 2015

    Camino signs: do they happen to anyone else?

    Last weekend, we were enjoying a beautiful early morning walk and my thoughts were on the Camino and how I miss the yellow arrows. The thought had just occurred and this is what I spied. A blue coffee mug with the yellow arrow. We started a conversation with the young man in his garden and sure...

    Forum demoscopic, @Ivar

    Such a shame that the universal language of "Esperanto " was not further developed . As English being my first language I have tried to learn a little of the language of each country travelled - quite daunting at times.
