    From your bedroom window

    I am on Day 7 of 14 days of quarantine, having set foot on the island of Tasmania, Australia just one day after quarantine was introduced for all arrivals from the mainland. I was midway through my road trip from Queensland to Tasmania when restrictions were announced. The day after I arrived...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Santiago this morning

    I was thinking exactly that when I watched Ivar’s video. Incredible effort for so many to do “what is right” so others may live. At the core of it is real love for ourselves and each other. We are the only ones who can get ourselves through to the other side of this. A bit of pain for a lot of...

    Foot pain before Camino - advice needed

    Hey Gabriel, I am undergoing physio treatment right now for something very similar. I walked the Francés 3 years ago and endured some really hard days due to the pain in my foot and shooting pains up my shin. I went to a podiatrist before going and got no relief. I’m about to walk the...

    Hi Kari, some of them look beautiful and I am looking forward to mixing it up this time. I love the atmosphere of those where you get to share a communal meal. Thanks for your thoughts 🙏🔆

    To plan or not to plan?

    HI David, thank you so much for your generous reply. "Giving yourself permission"...such an important reminder. I love the planning and learning about where i am going. I have never really been a "let's wait and see" kind of traveller. But yes, once you're forearmed with the knowledge and the...

    To plan or not to plan?

    Thanks for your insight Anamya. We have booked a couple of nights in Porto. Can't wait to stay there! I have read so many wonderful things about Casa Fernanda, it almost seems like we should walk the inland route instead! I was actually surprised at how much of the "bookable" accommodation is...

    To plan or not to plan?

    Hi Botaivica, thank you for your generous offer of help. We are planning to walk the coastal route and join up with the inland route at Redondela...I have loved every minute of planning the route with my friend, but the more I revisit this forum and read other's stories, I'm beginning to...

    To plan or not to plan?

    Hi Rick, thank you for that great advice. It makes a lot of sense. I think I may start cancelling a few of the bookings I've already made. I guess I had read SO much about the CF before I went and read so many great threads on this forum that I almost felt as though I had walked it before I even...

    To plan or not to plan?

    I’m doing lots of homework...I need to start learning some Portuguese now!

    To plan or not to plan?

    Hi Joe, thanks for your thoughts. You’re absolutely right... the lack of planning was so liberating and that made the lack of sleep bearable. I guess regardless of how much I plan, I never really know what may come around the corner...perhaps I just need to put my preoccupation with where we...

    To plan or not to plan?

    Thanks Lindsay, I agree that when you’re flying solo is easier to wing it. Thanks for your thoughts🙏

    To plan or not to plan?

    Hello my brothers and sisters, seeking your insight/ reflection... I am walking from Porto to Fisterra next May with a good friend. I will turn 50 on the morning we walk out of Santiago and onwards and I am sooooo looking forward to my 2nd Camino. When I walked the Francés, I only booked...

    Rabanal del Camino Albergues

    I stayed in Guacelmo in 2017. I loved Rabanal and was almost going to stop further down the hill because my feet were so sore, but so glad I kept going and found this beautiful place, just in time for tea and biccies! The garden was a godsend and I enjoyed a couple of delicious cold cervezas...

    Finished CP May 16! Home now for Two Weeks

    Hi again! Just wondering, from your experience, would a May pack be erring towards warmth, or is it getting warm by that time? I know that there are no guarantees with Nature...😊

    Finished CP May 16! Home now for Two Weeks

    Hi Martha My friend and I will be walking a very similar path around the same time in 2020, planning to be in Santiago for my 50th! A couple of years ago, I spent 3 weeks on the Camino Francés. It changed my life, and ever since, my iPhone has been sending me memories of that journey. So happy...

    Snoring in albergue!

    I stayed in a small hotel in A Coruna about 20 years ago. The only divider between our room and the one next door was a concertina door. The old man on the other side of the plastic divider snored so loudly that at about 3 am, having not slept a wink, we just started laughing...deliriously...at...

    Incident between Santiago del Monte and El Castillo de San Martín

    Thank you for sharing. I hope the peregrina is doing okay. That would be an extremely confronting experience.
