    Feeling empty after finishing my Camino.

    Seems we all feel this anti-climax. I wanted a banner to walk under (the finish) and a line of cheering people but all I got was a nearly empty square and lots of scaffolding on the cathedral What really helped me was going to mass. I am not religious but the experience of attending, shaking...

    Shower footwear

    Thongs, jandals, flip flops, call them what you will, but if you want to prevent a foot fungus, wear them in the shower. Far more common than you might realise, and breeds in hot sweaty socks too. A tube of tinea cream applied after each shower also goes a long way... just saying

    Snoring in albergue!

    Just imagine if we banned snorers from the Camino... there would be no-one walking! Or maybe just ban them from Albergues - the rooms would be empty. but of course how do we assess their 'right' to walk the Camino. Then can we ban the clickety click of the walking sticks, people who talk with...

    Where to turn to for medical help?

    Anti-inflammatories (ibuprofin) will get you to Santiago but will only mask a problem. When you get home have it properly assessed (physician, podiatrist, sports medicine clinic). Foot problems usually take a while to heal. Good luck

    Advice for a "Type A" personality to fully enjoy my Camino?

    Everyone walks the Camino their own way, Doug. If you need to plan then do so, then one day when the plan doesn't go to plan take a big breath, have a glass of wine and accept the challenge as only an A- personality can do. The Camino will throw you such challenges and if you can take each one...

    Wine and Beer

    Why no avatar?

    I love reading through these threads. They make me smile and they wander all over the place, just like the camino. You have encouraged me to add a picture for my avitar

    New unwanted markings of the Camino

    We are almost in Santiago. I have been disappounted in how all the concrete markers in Galicia have had their mileage signs ripped out and covered in graffiti. I just don't get why people think that's OK

    Can someone give me the link...

    Hi there. Recently someone posted a link to a very funny site called Camino Times or similar. It was a spoof site and very funny. Now I want to share it with my son and cant find it (There was an article about the race for beds). 2 days and we will be on Santiago. Its been an amazing journey.

    Guitarist just before Astorga

    I believe I may have seen this chap this morning riding his moped up the hill as we were walking down. If I'd realised i would have trekked back up.

    LIVE from the Camino Trash

    This would have to be the one thing that has really disappointed me on the trail. I always take my own rubbish with me and do pick up regular rubbish, but the thought of picking up other peoples used toilet paper makes me gag. In one stop - Cafe Movil - there were signs everywhere (of a man...
