    Securely Storing Valuables While Showering

    I took a large shower suction hook and hung my valuables inside the shower with me in a waterproof bag along with my shower needs and change of clothes. It worked out perfectly.

    LIVE from the Camino Ethics Question -- to walk or not to walk?

    Merino socks are great! pack at least 3 pairs and switch out a couple times a day. I used a safety pin and hung my socks on my backpack to dry and alternated between the 2 pairs each day - washed them at the end of my day. You’ll always have that 3rd pair in case your other 2 pairs don’t dry out.

    LIVE from the Camino Ethics Question -- to walk or not to walk?

    Yes, stay in Pamplona and get her a different pair of shoes. It’s the shoes that caused the blister. New shoes and put coconut oil on her feet each morning prior to walking to stop the friction. Hopefully she has an extra pair of sandals to air her feet and get out of those shoes. Have her...

    HELP! (Shoe advice) April 2020

    Has anyone ever worn the trail runner ALTRA? I was told it is a very popular trail shoe for the PCT. They are very lightweight, have the large toe room, a gripping tread, have a “gaiter trap” at the heel and are very cushioned. So far, on my daily 4-5 mile walks they have been very...

    Stuck in Pamplona

    I was “stuck in Pamplona” for 3 1/2 weeks due to 2 eye surgeries in August of 2014. What a wonderful place to be stuck in!!! Check out the old city and the museums - there’s so much history to learn. Visit the Cathedral! And enjoy the rich espressos! What luck to be stuck! ;)

    Walking from San Sebastian to Bilbao from Saturday 5th August 2019

    I spent a week in San Sebastián recovering from an eye surgery. It’s one of most beautiful places I’ve ever been! I hope you can check out the Wind of the Comb before you continue west. Absolutely cool!

    Lack of balance

    You should ask your doctor for a Rx for PT for imbalance. I learned a lot of tricks and exercises to help me stay on my feet. But be sure to analyze your prescriptions, search for the side effects.. vertigo may be one of them. My first symptom began not long after starting the ocular pressure...

    Post Camino treat

    San Sebastián was absolutely beautiful! My husband and I spent 6 nights there and loved it.

    Lack of balance

    Are you taking any Rx eye drops? My OP drops gave me vertigo. I was in PT for imbalance for 5 months until I figured out it was the eye drops. After I stopped taking them, my vertigo went away in about a month.

    Last Minute Cancellation

    Were we conned outside Sarria

    West of Sarria in October of 2014 my husband & I came across 2 young women with a clip board asking for donations for the blind. It was obvious to me this was a scam. I stopped my husband from writing down our address/info on the sheet attached and told him this was a scam. They pretending not...

    Worth carrying?

    True that! My shoes were Keen Voyagers.. had no blisters, and love their large box toe.

    Worth carrying?

    Walking in 3 days of pouring rain and blowing wind and entering into Santiago soaked from my knees down to my thoroughly soaked insoles of my waterproof boots, gaiters is the one thing I wished I had. Our 2 night, pre-booked room in Santiago had no heat, so we couldn't dry out. On our last...

    Making my preparations and freaking out a little

    Cathy, Shoe covers will be great! Those rainy days we had, I wished I had gaiters as my pants got wet down into my socks and then into my boots. We had to stay in a pension to get a heated room so they could dry out. My 8 euro poncho was way better than my hubby's $45 REI one. I bought mine...

    Making my preparations and freaking out a little

    I used my iPod Touch to book ahead w/Booking.com and was very easy to book ahead if need be. The hostel you stay at will help or even make the call to book your next night. When not in hostels, we stayed in places that cost about 20E for a private room + 10E for the pilgrim meal. I always...
