I think you are right on all fronts. I will say that people all over the world are frustrated and covid tired. Negative responses should be in the form of a disagreement not rudeness as this Forum is 99.9999 percent positive and full of good people. I did the Camino 3 years back and plan on...
Just my opinion, but I call it Covid crazy or tiredness. The rules are constantly changing and I have just given up myself. You need this test and then this test and then blah, blah,blah. I am a Canadian and fully vaccinated, but my Government has yet to come with any type of passport and to...
Just my 2 cents....I am a Canadian who can speak English...French....some German ( Military service in Germany ) Italian and Swahili ( My Dad's postings in Italy and Kenya....Diplomatic service ) and I too wanted to learn Spanish...got the books and tapes and I flopped on the streets...the...
Unfortunately, many Canadians received an AstraZeneca produced in India ( Covishield ) and I am told many countries do not accept that jab. Further, they maybe some countries who do not accept a mixed vaccine ( USA ). Good luck to everyone trying to do the Camino this year.
Thanks for that...you are a very good writer GC....enjoy your weather in the next months... as for us Canadians we shall be freezing soon....I live near the Rocky Mountains and put up with minus 25 to 40 and heaps of snow for 5 months.
Wow...wow wow...thanks for this Gerard. I am a guitar player and a former pilgrim. Totally impressed by this young lady. As an aside...I see you are a veteran member from Brisbane. I visited your city it is a beauty too. Many Canadians travel to the land down under and have great times.
Thanks...you are probably very correct... I guess, I was thinking in terms of a working vaccine that has brought about the world returning to a near normal state. Wishful thinking.
My wife and I are planning to cycle the Camino Frances from Leon in the Fall of 2021. We would like to go to confession at the Cathedral in Santiago when we complete our journey. Being the fact that it is a Holy Year I was wondering how the confessional set up might look like ? I suspect the...
Thanks Jefferyonthecamino.....you are indeed a veteran of the Caminos and good for you...pretty impressive. If I could ask, let's say we wanted to extend our days on the walk and shorten up the 22 to 24 kms from Pontevedra to Caldas and walk maybe just half that, from experience do you know a...
Thank-you so much for your quick response....walking we will do. Shorten the day wasn't the issue...it was that small road and getting out of town basically....thank- you for your reply. As mentioned below, my wife and I were run over by a car last year so we are bitten and twice shy....thanks...
My wife and I will be doing the last 100 kilometers of the Portuguese Camino starting either in Valenca or Tui this September. We are trying to manage our daily walks and we are not sure if at any given time within a city or town one can use public transport to get to the outskirts and the...
Thank-you for taking the time to answer and in depth too....very much appreciated. ... It is difficult to get a sense of the Camino and all the variants when last week it was - 50 below O on the Prairies of Western Canada....I think I am just thawing out....LOL. Thank-you again....
I was wondering how one gets the passport stamps if you veer off the official coastal route ? Also, I too would prefer to avoid the woodland part and go by the coast but would you have to push the bikes on sandy beaches ? Any help would be appreciated. ( Biking trip planned for this...
Hello musicman..... would you mind if I dropped you an email regarding the coastal camino. My wife and I would like to bike it and your experience would be invaluable. We are in the process of considering various options.
Thanks.
