    Great idea! I wish I'd thought of that. For my next camino...

    Medical assistance for multiple large blisters, both feet!

    Good luck. I thought I had bought the most comfortable hiking boots EVER, walked in them every day before I started the Camino, but after two days, my feet looked like this (see photo below). I'd spent a lot of money on the boots and refused to give them up. But my feet got worse and worse, so...

    Towel size

    I had read about the idea of bringing an extra tiny towel on this forum. I took a small scrap of linen and pinned it to my pack. It was brilliant because I could use it to quickly dry my face and hands when my other towel was packed. I used it every morning because most of my stuff was packed...

    My first Camino....

    Hi, I was really nervous about my first camino last May so I wanted to take (what was for me) the easiest and least stressful way to get to SJPdP. I flew from Toronto to Paris, then took a bus directly from the airport (Bus Direct) to Montparnasse Train Station. I had already bought a train...

    Gear Review: The little things

    And if you decide to bring the ultra lightweight shopping bag/backpack, consider getting a waterproof one. Then you can use it for everything, including the shower!

    Gear Review: The little things

    Hi, great ideas--if you want one more idea, the absolute best thing I brought with me was a u-shaped hook from Home Depot that cost about $2. I used it in the showers where there were no hooks to hang up my bag of valuables. Speaking of which, I loved my small waterproof bag (which unfortunately...

    June or September ?

    One other thing--I think you have more daylight hours in June. I started walking on May 24 this year and it was PERFECT! Lots of pilgrims, but never too many and always able to get a bed. Sunrises are amazing and so are the birds chirping in the morning. I loved being able to start early and end...

    Looking for Marco - Italian

    Hello, I walked the CAmino Francis from May 23 through June. I met an Italian Marco. He was walking with Monica and Carlos. He had injured his leg, I believe at some point--shin splint maybe--and had stopped but later I saw him again. His leg was fine and I thought he was walking with Monica and...

    Thank you!

    I just recently returned from my first camino--Frances--and had the most amazing and incredible experience of my life. I was so worried and scared and TERRIFIED about going alone (female, 60 years old) but it was perfect, like it was meant to be. It could not possibly have been a better...
