    The second time around...why am I nervous?

    Because our mind knows. It knows the real difficulty of our dreams. The mind knows we will struggle and succeed. Focus on the success.

    Washing Clothes

    There are Few Machines available And even if you dry many are not vented. I found my clothes dried outside faster. Although I walked in spring/summer and weather was good. You tend to wash outside with scrub board and sink and hang. I used machines only use twice in first Camino and then...

    Hi everyone new and veteran camino travelers i need help.

    I would stay night in SJPP. FIRST DAY IN Orrisson sets the tone and you meet the fellow walkers that meander in and out of your journey. Cheap flight from Santiago back to Madrid easy and convenient. If you are a planning type person book ahead if you feel your feet lead you to where you...

    Money Lost or Stolen in SPJDP Albergue

    Tenting is done but they find just an odd empty spot. If in a city they had to walk past and to outskirts which means inconvenience in some ways. Remember walking to just get to Burgos city Center is 8 km and with this being said coming in you are walking on highway, past airport, and so on...

    dreadful walk,awful people,

    I walked last year June 11 for 36 days. I didn't book ahead except Orisson and Santiago first day and switched up second day with no problem. I had one rude place and it was the monastery in Sahagun. Never once was I disappointed as I felt I was where I was meant to be!!!!

    Sandals vs flip flops

    Twenty pounds is bearable but for thirty some days??? Have you hiked long like this before? As in continuous for many days? I found many things I never used and had to just give away within first week. Are you travelling in summer months with heat?

    Sandals vs flip flops

    Are you planning to walk in flip flops? I walked less than three hours in my keens and it is just not something that was able to be done. The terrain is rocky in places, slippery and uneven. The pebbles in the sandals were a complete pain. I gave them away and never looked back . I did end...

    I believe the longer we have to pack the more we unpack and repack. I just stare at this bag and think lets get this show on the road. I am in St Jean on the tenth. I have only booked Orrison. I feel if I prebook I have to panic while walking..... Am I there yet , am I too slow? Fate will get me...
