    Camino at home during Lockdown

    Did she receive a "compostella" at the end of her backyard pilgrimage? 😆 How far did she travel? What pack did she carry? Is that Spanish wine in that glass? What a fun idea! I hope she enjoyed her journey!!

    Buying poles in Porto

    Sorry if I offended you in some way. No, it was a cloth bag. I laid it on the very top of the trash bin with hopes that someone would pull it out and use it. I was in the airport, leaving it laying exposed wouldn’t be a good idea and adding the extra weight to my backpack was not an option.

    Buying poles in Porto

    For my non-carry-ons I purchased a small bag for $2 (yard sale find) and checked that bag. At the airport I collected the bag, put the items in my backpack and threw the $2 bag in the trash.

    Bras for " curvy " girls

    I'm a 'big girl.' This is the bra I wore when walking the camino. I bought them specially for the trip and continued to wear them when I got home! https://www.hanes.com/shop/hanes/women/bras/sports-bras/hanes-womens-x-temp-bra-hg506

    Should I bring a lock?

    Wasted weight! I used a Bandiwear belt. It worked perfectly for passport, cash, and phone. Take a multi-purpose hook in the shower with you. Just don't forget it in the 2nd albergue you stay in, like I did! Oh, well. I am sure some other pilgrim made use of it! Buen camino

    Can't Stop Worrying! Solo Female!

    I walked a short Camino last September on my own. The worst I suffered was rude comments because I am not the typical pilgrim. I am not a size 2 and I am not athletic, but I managed to walk 11 miles a day. There were times that I was completely alone, but most of the time there were others...

    How to get to the Santiago airport at 4 am?

    I just returned two weeks ago. My flight from SdC to Madrid was scheduled for 6:30 am. The kind people at the Santa Clara Hotel arranged a taxi (20 euros) for me at 5:15 am. I was told if I arrived at the airport any earlier there would be no one there but me and the taxi driver! Lol! I arrived...

    Help with Camino Frances: Sarria - Santiago (Santiago - Fenisterre)

    Thanks for the information Castilian! I was being a bit facetious, I don't intend on cancelling or letting someone else's bad experience sway me from going. Since this is my first Camino and nothing to compare it to, how will I know that it is crowded or not crowded? I intend to walk and enjoy...

    Help with Camino Frances: Sarria - Santiago (Santiago - Fenisterre)

    Well, geez Jennifer.........I already have my airfare for September to walk from Sarria to SDC! Should I cancel and stay home? You make it sound absolutely miserable. :( And I have really been looking forward to this journey.

    So....I purchased airfare today......

    Thanks Waka! I tried to arrange my schedule so I could arrive and start on a weekday, but it just wouldn't work out. I will arrive on a Friday and start on a Saturday. So be it, I will make the best of it! Thanks for the advice and encouraging words!
