    Prevent Blisters on Camino

    I have never experienced blisters during my 35-day sojourn from France to the Cape through the Norte and the Primitivo despite carrying more than 15 kilos without a walking aid. Here's what I did. 1. I changed socks every three days. I don't carry that much pairs and socks don't dry easily like...

    Disparities between Wise Pilgrim and Brierley distances

    I saved phone battery for photos and videos. For navigation, the yellow arrows. When I see a number, it gives me an idea how far I have walked and how far will I walk. Most of the time the arrows disappear. A lot of times, the guidebook would correct me and I would go back. When the guidebook...

    Picking grapes from vineyards along the way

    I passed by vineyards, orchards of pears, apples and peaches, a kiwifruit farm. All these were inside private properties and fenced. I denied myself the urge even if I needed something to fill my tummy. I did picked three pieces of cherry from a tree growing on a sidewalk, therefore on public...

    The bread on some doors in the early morning - is it a donation for the pilgrims?

    I had been wracking my brains trying to figure out the purpose of these bottles with water in them. My first impression was that it was for pets to drink from. But it doesn't fit since I did not see a bowl. A water with detergent works well if it is poured over urine to cover its odor so no...
