    What to do with three weeks after Santiago?

    Hang in Porto either by walking or take a bus. Porto is just magic

    Hospitalero threatened and punched - O Pino

    I sort of found it equally disturbing that the others there didn’t seem to come to the hospi’s aid

    I just did it!

    Let's talk waist packs!

    Years before Camino was a part of my life, I found a Kipling bag in a secondhand store. It’s approximately similar size to a bum bag, but it has clips, so I could use around waist as well as a purse. Sure, I’d prefer pockets, but this little bag has been with me at work, on walks , at concerts...

    Rouen - Mont-Saint Michel

    I know it’s veering off topic, but I spotted this plaque on an old church in Brittany, two years before I knew I would be walking a Camino. This was about a week after I stayed in Mt St Michel……I was drawn

    Rouen - Mont-Saint Michel

    As others have said…. Do your best to stay over. Tourist crowds gone….I still remember hearing my own footsteps as I walked in the night. BUT…..places to stay extremely limited. Book well in advance

    Waist Packs!

    Well I added a “lol” to my post. (& “ designers” and “ off the rack” are two different animals. I have been known to sew pockets on pants but since my sewing skills are shite, I tend to just use my secondhand bag that can be adapted cross body or around waist. ( easier to keep valuables al, in...

    Waist Packs!

    Pockets! An irksome issue as the disparity in men and women’s clothes is very wide.... even women’s pants made for hiking has noticeably smaller pockets, for example, I couldn’t fit my guidebook in the pocket I had, even after ripping out non essential pages. It’s BS. I would much prefer...

    Waist Packs!

    I picked up an old secondhand Kipling crossbody that i could unclip then re clip around my waist. Held my passport, phone, cash, credit cards ( kept it to this minimum) but just could not fit brierly guide.

    Should I ...?

    Quite the conundrum. Maybe other things to factor in: your moms condition. If her only issue is being elderly, that’s one thing but if she is closer to her eternal Camino, perhaps make the choice based on what would give you less regrets

    Quiet hotel in Porto?

    The small hotel is also a restaurant. The Fado performance was held monthly during dinner service. A delight and a beautiful intro to Portugal. The food is excellent too

    Quiet hotel in Porto?

    I stayed at Yours Guesthouse, near Cathedral and Sao Bento train station. If you’re lucky you can catch their monthly Fado performance. comfortable, quiet and clean. Stayed there at beginning and end of our Camino trip

    EW....that's disgusting!

    Being a vegetarian, my forays are limited. I must admit to eating silkworms, crickets and a sort of spider thing in Vietnam, and I am quite a fan. Also I have no problem with vegamite with the exception I’m not a scan of salty stuff, and I found it way too salty for me. I did sort of like the...

    Pilgrim's Passport - Stamp from the issuing organization + first stamps in Porto

    Yes the train station not far from cathedral is Sao Bento, a marvelous example of tile work, but Porto is loaded with extremely beautiful examples of this art.

    Large meal at midday like Iberian Culture? Is it for you?

    Yes, my husband and I tend to eat largest meal mid day, and light at “dinner time” , I must admit, it wasn’t the Camino that influenced us, but age and indigestion, luckily, we are retired, so we don’t have the challenges that you do. It is fortunate that you are more of your own boss. Is there...

    Camino Portuguese is very nice, but...

    I totally understand but I loved those cobblestones, what I hated was hitting asphalt

    What's the one thing in your pack, that you absolutely CANNOT do without...and why?

    It makes you happy! Reason enough!
