    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Flight Cabin

    If someone spends 8-10 hours in the toilet, i'd suggest finding a different toilet (and maybe not selecting the same entree). Yikes!

    Hi to you!

    Running shoes, not trail runners

    I wore Hoka One Ones Bondis for my first Camino (Norte from Irun) and they were perfect. I tried a portion of the CF with a different shoe and it was horrible. I need the cushioning of the bondis.

    Pilgrim stabbed and attacked at knife point after Sacavem, was able to escape

    I am so sorry to read of your experience....but thank you for sharing (as well as Yolan). Perhaps this will empower others to come forward and the outcry will be loud enough to affect a change. Edited to add: I am not sure of your nationality - but from your english you seem to be from an...

    WARNING - Theft or Scam?

    This is a common scam in other places in Europe. (Historically, Eastern Europe)... I've even read about it in guide books. Way to go on following your instincts. I've found when being accused of something I clearly did not do (and seems outrageous)...when the scammer wants to call the...

    Camino Frances - Set/Out 2018

    I'm starting in Pamplona in early October. Don't have my date pinned down yet! (I did the Norte last summer and them went back to SJPdP with the few extra days I had and walked to Pamplona...so picking up where I left off...)

    Getting to SJPP from Dallas

    There are no direct flights from DFW to Pamplona that I ever found...That said...Last year I flew from DFW to Madrid and caught the bus FROM the airport to where I was going. So easy! When I go later this year...my plan is the same flight - and train to Pamplona (as I need to go into Madrid...

    Dogs waiting to Bite at Villaviaja

    @Ribeirasacra ...well I WAS feeling better...but now -less so... Anyway...most of the rabies symptoms I know about require being able to watch the dog longer than the brief period i had with it. That said...since it didn't seem hostile towards the other dogs in the pack...I'm still thinking...

    Trying to identify a location

    @Luka - i was alone... :/. The dogs were likely protecting the premises...and looked clean etc. (which I the main reason I'm not too worried). I mistook what was likely a farmhouse for an albergue... They charged when I walked up the driveway. This is also why I am reluctant to report to...

    Trying to identify a location

    @anemone- thanks... But i certainly didn't stop and take a picture... @minak Thanks... While Spain is technically rabies free- it does still exist here in bats. The law would not likely require rabies shots in dogs if it haad been totally erradicated. Because of that law-I am playing the...

    Dogs waiting to Bite at Villaviaja

    This thread makes me feel much better. I was bitten yesterday... Not a deep wound... More like a scratch... But rabbies was my main concern. Since I ran...I am still trying to track down the owner to double check. I'm inclined to belive that the dog has had his shots ( as required by law)...

    Trying to identify a location

    Yesterday, on the camino from Irun to San Seb ... I was bitten by a dog. I was turning up a driveway of what I thought was a hostel/albergue when several dog (residents) went nuts and started chasing me. One nipped me on the back of my leg. I'd like to report them to "animal control" and at...

    SIM Card question

    Thanks everybody! Sounds like I should check out the deals that are on when I arrive!

    SIM Card question

    I feel a bit silly asking this...but technology moves faster than I can keep up... My phone is unlocked...so I had just planned to get a Spanish sim card when I arrive (Want to have a phone for emergencies!). Does anyone know if just taking my SIM card out of my ATT phone will appear to ATT...

    bed bugs

    ...and ticks, ants, flies, chiggers, and midges. But the real reason I mention it was because everyone was suggesting Permithrin spray. This is merely a product with the Permithrin IN it...no messy spray...etc.

    bed bugs

    There is a company named Insect Shield that makes clothes and sleep sacks with Permitherin IN the fibers! They also collaborate with a company called Craghoppers to make clothes with Permitherin! It is AWESOME!!!!

    Supplies on the CdN

    Hello fellow pilgrims! How easily can one obtain supplies on the CdN? (Specifically, trekking poles, Swiss Army Knife, and Aleve painkiller). I am inclined to get the first two AFTER a plane ride...and the last is the most effective pain killer I've dealt with for a recent injury to my knees...
