    What happened to the train?

    It would be such a shame if Rome2rio is not as reliable as it has been. I have come to trust it as my first source to see what connections are available. I guess as they say change is constant just not always appreciated.

    Forum Book Club - 1.3 - Walk in a Relaxed Manner (Joyce Rupp)

    I very much enjoyed the book. It was my first book on the Camino and what got me to start planning to go. It took me a few years before i went in 2018. I liked the spiritual aspect of the book.

    Poll Which Camino are you planning next?

    We have definitely been thinking of the Portuguese Camino from Lisbon or Tomar. At this time we are thinking Spring of 2022 just seems like waiting out 2021 will be best.

    Is there a Place in the Modern World for "Pilgrimages"?

    I don't understand why we spend so much time on such questions. The assumption behind questions like this for me seem to indicate that there is some 'modern' norm that we all must follow. Pilgrimages will exist I believe as long as people need time to meet their higher power even if that is...

    The camino is boring landscapes, paved roads, traffic…

    I know I am having hard time knowing it will be at least 18 month’s to my next Camino. To each there own but love the quiet and time for introspection that the Camino gave me. Backpacking is great but no longer interested in carrying so much on my back. I don’t think we need to explain why we...

    Rely on the waymarking, ignore your apps!

    Does CF feel like a crowded theme park now?

    My spouse and I completed our first Camino in Oct of last year and really never felt it a theme park or over commercialized. It was to touristy in some bigger towns but that was not necessarily because of the Camino anyway we pretty much just walked through those areas. We did follow Brierly...
