    A collection of Camino videos

    Thank you so much for including us on your list (The Museum of Us: Camino Frances). We're still avidly watching all the vlogs and documentaries that we can, being Australian and unable to travel. We dearly hope to set foot on Spanish soil again in 2023

    How do you wear a hat with a backpack?

    I second the Sun Day Afternoon hat, with the soft back. It's far easier to change your hat than your pack!

    Reading while on the Camino

    I loved having my little Kobo reader with me - I could connect to my library by wifi and get new books as needed. It was perfect for me to read in bed with no need for a light or my glasses as you can adjust it to 'night mode' and turn the brightness right down, while increasing the font size...

    Bed bugs once again

    If you put your DRY gear into a dryer on high it will achieve the heat you need far more quickly and avoid damage. My tech clothing and merino all survived this work no bother. Don't wet it first! You can wash it later, when you've killed any bugs and eggs

    Walking with my daughter in May starting from St Jean

    We are also walking in May, and travelling via Madrid>Pamplona>SJPdP. Train tickets are not yet available on the Renfe website - I suspect they only go up 90 days in advance. Certainly will be cheaper to pre-purchase them once they are online. It's just occurred to me that we're planning to...
