Good day, I just saw your question regarding the Via Francigena. Did you ever got any info or did you do it already as I also plan to walk the Tuscany part but have no idea where to begin and how long it will be. I really need info?
Hello my name is Marietjie and I am from South Africa. A friend ask me the other day if it is possible to walk part of the via Francigena with an eight year old child. Is it to remote?
I wonder if one can take pepper spray in to either Spain or Italy? I can buy it in my country which is quite dangerous at the moment to move around as a single woman!:oops:
Well, I hope so too, but I believe it is not peregrinos who vandalised the Cathedral in Santiago and that is only one example. But yes, I totally agree that peregrinos must respect the property and privacy of all the locals along the way and more, try to at least greet them in their own...
I just wondered the other day how long would we still be able to walk the Camino in peace and that it would stay intact for even more generations, including the landmarks and attractions??Buen Camino
Hi Tim,
Which specific route do you recommend on the Mont Blanc, from where to where? I would like to walk in May (Spring), what do you recommend? What about accommodation en route?
Hi Jill,
How are you? Glad to hear from you again. Thanks for the information. Although Mont Blanc is not really a pilgrims route so to speak. Maybe all depends on your own experience?!
No! I thought about it for a long time and couldnt even sleep the first night! :rolleyes:I then realised she must have put it there to dry out, if that is what one does with walnuts:confused:
Tim, I would like more info on Mont Blanc, as a friend and I wish to hike in May next year. Please reply on my email, as this is a Camino forum and I assume we are not allowed to talk about other hikes?

Talking about stuff outside houses....when I did my first Camino way back, people along the route put stuff, fruit , vegetables outside their houses for the pilgrims or even stop us and offer as vegetables, like tomatoes. Last year I did a part of the Via de la Plata and apart from a friendly...
Also plan to walk next year (2019) from Luca to Siena. Wonder about food availability en route, cooking facilities at the ostellos, water en route, if anyone can comment on these, please?
Thanks Doogman, I follow Camino Ways and thought of booking through them if I walk on my one next year! But together with a friend, I'm brave enough to try anything:Dany uncertainty gives me a kick!
Fantastic that there are pelgrims out there who will help us decide by their videos and photos! Next year will be my first Camino in Spring and I hope for not to hot or not to cold in May. Will only a travel sheet do? A friend of mine walked in France in May, she took lovely photos of spring...
You won't believe me but I still don't know where it was mended. I tried everything and looked everywhere, but nothing. In the meanwhile, a friend of mine visited her friend in Madrid and brought back the exact poles, remember, the Bonsai ones. I am still glad that I have both pairs, as my...
