    Belorado

    I hope you have a wonderful Camino. It was a great trip for us. The year we went there was an extreme amount of rain and it was cold. But it was an aberration. I don't think they had ever seen so much rain! We became very familiar with the orange-ish mud and to dry out boots and clothes -...

    Is it good to sing and dance during Camino de Santiago?

    Nursery rhymes work very well also!

    Danger for pilgrims walking between Roncesvalles & Zubiri

    Just logged in for the first time in a long time and saw your post. I was your fellow “swimmer” that day-we met and were able to give each other a hug at the wine fountain wall. The experience has become part of my camino story! The Way is certainly I place for making memories.

    Need a new waist pack

    I think there's a bigger lesson -- bring all of yourself that is broken to the camino and it can be fixed! I ended up getting the Osprey and attached with S clip. Worked great.

    Finisterre

    We are taking the bus tour tomorrow! Sitting here with a couple of other pilgrims discussing the zero km marker. Where is 0 km? All of our markers along the Camino Frances were measuring to Santiago cathedral, right?

    Is the Botafumeiro closed for repairs in 2018?

    Arrived in Santiago yesterday and went to the Pilgrim mass at noon today, Sunday, May 13th. The Botafumeiro swung, the choir sang, and tears ran down my face. It seems the Borafumeiro has swung for at least the last 10 days—perhaps in conjunction with the ascension festivities.

    Is the Botafumeiro closed for repairs in 2018?

    Thanks for all the info. Several of us are arriving on Saturday,12 May (silly statement-several are arriving every day;)) and have been curious when the pilgrim mass takes place. Online I’ve had a hard time getting even that info. Any info about this weekend would be appreciated! @tpmchugh ...

    Broken Toe

    I’m on the Camino right now and can say walking with pain is interesting. I’ve learned my Achilles’ tendons are a weak point—who knew?! Each step becomes a conscious thought. The worry is you don’t want to do any permanent damage and I think pain causes fatigue. Looks like you’re doing the right...

    The right credencial?

    My husband and I are enjoying a day of rest in Burgos after walking from SJPP. It’s been an amazing experience filled with so many emotions. At a communal dinner a pilgrim talked about the stamps needed for a Compostela and today my husband had time to count spaces in the credential and became...

    Danger for pilgrims walking between Roncesvalles & Zubiri

    We ran into the blocked trail into Estella and ended up taking the road and grassy strips and cutting through yards. I wouldn’t consider what we did a recommended solution but we made it.

    It’s 2 April. Is Napoleon pass open?

    Woe to us who left on Friday. Thank goodness for the Camino angels disguised as bomberos!

    Danger for pilgrims walking between Roncesvalles & Zubiri

    Thanks. We looked in Pamplona, but very expensive. We’ll look at Vodafone next time we pass one.

    It’s 2 April. Is Napoleon pass open?

    This was the one right on the route—modern?

    Danger for pilgrims walking between Roncesvalles & Zubiri

    I was also one of those that was part of the Camino gossip on Sunday. We tried to put some branches down and the concrete pasts were under water. My ninja husband hopped across and I went swimming. Very cold, wet walk to Zubiri! I have recovered and we stayed in a private room that night so I...
