    Why doesn't my iPhone like the QR code on the sign in front of Pilgrims Office in SDC? (And a work around)

    I’m from Canada with iPhone and had same problem. Go back when they open. The people at entrance will bring you in to complete a paper form and then you go inside to shorter lineup. Process took me about 15-20 mins at 10:00 a.m.

    LIVE from the Camino Burgos to Leon

    Buen camino! I was there two weeks ago and in Astorga heard the bands practice and marched off for Santa Semana. May your arm heal quickly!

    Credencials for Distance Certificate - Any volunteers at Pilgrim's Office there for an answer?

    Thankyou all. At the Pilgrim House I was told it depends on the volunteer at the counter and what you request. I discovered the website for the pilgrims which says it doesn’t matter where for distance certificates. Either way, I’m satisfied. In Santiago today only and got my certificate for the...

    My shower "caddy"

    Dollar stores carry mesh bags if you have them. I like the mesh as it ensures continued air drying. Mine is an Asian one with a pocket for toiletries. Line looper mentioned above is a fabulous idea! I’d just skip the beads and knot it. Use a hook at the end. I also use a giant S-hook for shower...

    Credencials for Distance Certificate - Any volunteers at Pilgrim's Office there for an answer?

    Thankyou Tom. Yes I have 2 official Compostelas from the past already. This time I’m only doing the central section of the CF, so I was wondering about a distance only certificate. If no, then I won’t waste time going through the effort or hassle of the lineup at pilgrim office.

    Yes, but does it also have to be between Sarria & Santiago? Or can it be anywhere on the route.

    A Little Jittery as I think ahead

    Yup! I just saw it on the Gov't of Canada website! Thank you. I return on April 3rd, so I'm safe 'cause I've had 3 shots. Now fingers crossed the new Omnicron Variant virus doesn't cause additional havoc. Buen Camino!

    A Little Jittery as I think ahead

    Delta says I need a COVID test (Ramp, NAAT, or PCR) for return trip home in April. Ugh. Was so hoping our government will lift this soon. I noticed on the KLM website (partner to Delta) is indicating different story. Welcome new information!

    A Little Jittery as I think ahead

    Buen Camino! I'm doing the same tomorrow (March 19) to Burgos. My leg is 200km, then a ride to SdC for couple days. I'm nervous because of all the COVID hoo-ha we have to navigate. Other than that I'm excited. Seems this is the main thing I venture out to do on my own. Hubbie will mind the...

    CPAP recommendation

    Sometimes wall outlets are not conveniently close to the bunks! You'll have to be very selective for choice of bunk or albergue. One albergue I stayed at had wiring/electrical issues. People were charging their phones at sink in washroom as it was the only place where you could get...
