    From your bedroom window

    I wonder what effect those positive retests in Wuhan will have?

    Lighting candles in Spain for the dead

    That is so sad. Especially for those who would have died alone!

    From your bedroom window

    Great view. China have come out of an extended lock down so there is hope for all of us. The Camino's not going anywhere. Hang in there, you're half way : )

    From your bedroom window

    Weather is gorgeous today in Auckland, NZ. View looking down the Waitemata harbour from my bedroom.

    Beach Swimming on the Norte - Months?

    Kia Ora Mark, I was also planning to do the Norte in Mar next year and purchased a couple of guide books- so really glad you started this thread. I did the Primitivo last year and loved it. The landscape was quite a contrast from the Via de la Plata (my first, the year before) both of which I...

    From which country this pilgrim is from?

    My pack is an Aarn. I don't use a flag but I do have my 'tiki' and a kiwi patch on my pack. Wouldn't want to get confused for an Aussie! Lol.

    Aarn packbags

    I had an Aarn Peak Aspiration also with 6ltr pockets (they were really handy and so easy to remove for the flight). Highly recommended!! It doesn’t have a water bladder pouch but I just put the bladder under the top flap and it worked a treat. All Aarn packs have a waterproof liner put I put the...

    A New Zealand peregrina dies in Leon

    My heart goes out to her family. I hope there is comfort in the thought that she was doing something she loved and left peacefully. Arohanui from Aotearoa

    Suddenly solo on the VdlP

    Yes, Yes and Yes. My first Camino was the VdlP last year. I am going back this year to do the Camino Primitivo. I had NO Spanish but have been learning it since. The first thing I did when I got off the plane was get a SIM card (at the Airport). The guys are just outside Terminal 4 door and...

    Aarn packbags

    I did my first Camino with a Peak Aspiration Aarn pack - it was fantastic! The design assists with weight distribution for every step and allows your shoulders to move easily and independently while the pack stays in a neutral balanced position in the centre your back. It was very comfortable...

    Traveling alone.

    Hi there My first Camino last year was the Via de la Plata - supposedly 'the road less travelled'. I went alone with no expectations and with the attitude 'what ever happens is meant to be'. I had the most amazing time and met some wonderful, awesome people. Book your tickets!! You never know...

    Backpack in airline holds

    I pay to have my pack shrink wrapped at the airport prior to checking in - it stops the straps getting caught and damaged and stops anyone accessing it ( to remove the contents or put stuff in - like drugs). Costs around €10 takes less than 5 minutes. I’ve found this service available at many...

    Sanabres Solo?

    Hi Richo, I did part of the VdlP and Sanabres 3 - 27 Oct 2017. I loved every minute. It was my first Camino and I wasn't expecting to meet many people so I was pleasantly surprised. I got tendinits ('cos I didn't train enough!), as a result I stopped for a couple days in a couple of different...

    1st timer

    Finally on my way. Thought I would take a detour so I could see the sun rise above Santiponce. Actually, it was my first hour on my first day - and yes, you guessed it (I was lost! Lol). In my defence it was 5:45am when I started out - not a lot of daylight and the signs weren't that easy to...

    1st timer

    Thanks Hel &Scott. We haven't started yet. I'm sailing in Croatia and the two sisters arrive in Seville tonight from Granada. It's getting closer. I'll try and keep the thread going but I expect I'll be a bit stuffed. Haha
