    Warfarin

    Walking with Warfarin Alan, Thanks!! I am very grateful to you for your cheering message bringing hope that my Warfarin will not stop me walking.

    Letter of intent needed for pilgrims?

    No Letter Alan, Many viewers of this site will be able to advise you as well as I, but since you have no replies yet I thought I would 'chip in my pennyworth'. No you do not need a letter of intent from a priest, Catholic or otherwise. What you do need is a Pilgrim Passport/Record called a...

    DVD Video on the Camino

    Camino DVD Great a recommendation for a film about the Camino, such films help one to fondly relive the experience of the 'way' and give friends and family some idea of what we undertook. Of course they are equally useful for those who want a taste before going. Thus I am tempted to also...

    Warfarin

    It seems likely that I will soon have to take the medication Warfarin (Coumadin) and have been warned that this could stop me undertaking long walks as the feet could bruise badly. Please, anyone out there taking this heart medication who could give me the benefit of their experience? Pilgrim

    Sarria to Santiago de Compostella

    Camino Portuguese Jim, as ever it is fascinating to read of others plans for a Camino. On a cold, grey, winter's day, here in England, it brings to mind warm balmy days 'on the road' in Spain. The Camino Portuguese is splendid. Yes it is less used but I, and the German pilgrim I walked with...

    Casa Manolo and Botifumerio

    Casa Manolo Having read the foregoing restaurant 'reviews' I really must put in a plea for my favourits, the famous pilgrim restaurant, the Casa Manolo in Plaza Cervantes. I have dined there both alone and in company on about ten occasions. The menu is varied, the three courses filling, the...

    Pilgrim - Camino Ingles

    Route into Santiago Peter, Thanks for your kind note. I was following, I believe, the most up-to-date CSJ guide to the route which is dated 2000. The advice there, is to follow the main road as the way-marked route, avoiding the road, skirts factory backyards. So I followed the long and...

    Pilgrim - Camino Ingles

    ‘Camino Jericho’ ‘Camino Jericho’ (05/10/05 - 09/10/05) Having just returned from a most delightful walk through northern Galicia I felt I must write on my experience. Delightful because the weather was glorious sunshine, the route was pleasantly empty and the views from the wooded hills...

    Transportation (and bus) strike

    Bus Strike On Sunday, (10/10/05) other pilgrims informed me that there was a strike effecting the buses to Finisterra the following day - I had planned to 'bus' to Finisterra having failed to walk there last time. So on Monday morning I went to the 'Tourist Information' in Santiago. There the...

    LIVE from the Camino How Far? - How long?

    As readers of the amazing account of my brave suffering (joke!) on my last Camino will recall I walked, or was it limped, earlier this year through Portugal. Because I had loved both the Portuguese people and countryside I decided to return, with my wife, for a holiday. And so we spent last week...

    LIVE from the Camino Jlkennedy's Camino Diary

    Pilgrim Diary A thank you from one former Pilgrim who will read with interest your daily diary. I wish you every luck with your busking - and guitar carrying - which will add to your already hard days, but as you say you are already an experienced pilgrim. The busking idea sounds great, one of...

    LIVE from the Camino "Fever in the Blood", day by day...

    The Final Chapter - How Many P's (Written on a rainy day in Santiago.) How many p’s are there in that phrase about planning and performance? Yes, I had pounded over 200 km of road in preparation, but mostly in a pair of comfortable shoes. Yes, my boots were old and trusted friends. Had we...
