    Any reviews on Loctote or Travelon lock bags (portable safes)

    Thank you for the apology, and agree it was solid advice, but pointing out it was from experienced and respected individuals should not preclude them from considering how one might feel at being told "...dont bring anything you cant afford to loose." this was not only unhelpful, it did not...

    Any reviews on Loctote or Travelon lock bags (portable safes)

    Any reviews on Loctote or Travelon lock bags (portable safes)

    thanks for the comment, but that isnt really possible or realistic is it...every pilgrim has to bring a passport and money of some form and they are both things I cant afford to loose...unless you've found a way to travel without papers and money, then that would be something!

    St Jean Pied du Port Booked...anyone staying at Gite Ultreia on Sept 8th 2019?

    So one more milestone achieved...! While I like the idea of just winging it and giving control over to the Camino, with two teenagers in tow, one must plan a little. So I have booked the Gite Ultreia for our first night in SJPDP on Spetember 8th 2019. We are a lovely (but I am biased) Aussie...

    Booking Roncesvalles ahead

    interesting to hear that the dinner and breakfast are not great, I decided to risk it on the basis that we might be dog tired and that we woudl not be in a routine to seekout supermercados for supplies. After Roncesvalles, we will endeavour to stock up on snacks and supples and try the early...
