    Blister patches

    Is it easy to take Engo patches off? For example, if I want to move them a bit from the original place I've attached them.

    Final prep

    Dear Dave and Holly, I will be leaving home on the 6th and have a reservation at Orisson for the 11th. I will likely run into you on the Camino. Buen Camino! Victoria

    What's the weather like on the pyrenees right now?

    Last year I started in Roncesvalles and consequently developed a Napoleon complex. This year, I am determined to walk the Napoleon Route. I have some flexibility to spend a few days in SJPP waiting for the weather to improve. I will arrive to SJPP on 8 April, three days before my reservation...

    What's the weather like on the pyrenees right now?

    I will be leaving SJPP on the 11th of April. I hope the snow will melt by then. If not, what is it like to walk the Napoleon Route with snow on the ground?

    Crocs or sandals?

    Thank you for a recommendation. I will buy them and then decide whether to take them to the Camino. Being able to wear them with socks is a definite plus.

    Renfe Tickets

    I already have a train ticket from Atocha to Pamplona. Does it mean that my ride from T4 to Atocha free?

    What guidebook should I get for Camino Frances?

    On my first Camino, I used Brierley's map book which provided all the information I needed. I purchased it in 2013, and did not realize that Brierley updates it annually. Now, I have Brierley's full book published in December 2015, and I am waiting for a new map book for 2016. I am leaving in...

    Cost of albergues? What do you get at a private albergues? How much can I expect to spend every da

    The number of people in the room is not always correlated with the quality of experience. I had some fantastic experiences of sharing a room with 20-30 other pilgrims. I had some less pleasant experiences of staying in a room for four people. For example, in Astorga, a friend and I were in a...

    Refugio Orrison booked!!

    Thank you, Maggie, I have a PayPal receipt and I can demonstrate that I have paid. However, I prefer to have my reservation reflected in Orisson's books and avoid last-minute resolutions. If my process is typical, it's fair enough. However, if others receive a direct email from Orrisson with...

    Refugio Orrison booked!!

    I sent an email to Orrison asking to stay on 10th or 11th of April. I gave two dates in case one was already fully booked. They responded a couple weeks later asking to get back to them when I decide on the date. I wrote that I'd like a bed for the 11th. I waited a couple more weeks and...

    Dear Fred, Could you please change my date from 10 April to 11 April! I have just paid for my reservation at Orisson for the arrival on the 11th, and so it's now final. Tank you, Victoria

    Pyrenees

    On my first Camino, I started in Roncesvalles. For the second Camino, I am determined to do the Napoleon Route. I requested a reservation at Orisson for the night of 11 April 2016, but have not received a response from them yet. Now I am wondering: Let's say the weather is bad and I decide to...

    You know it's too heavy, but you pack it anyway

    On my first Camino I have not brought with me any electronics, but I had a heavy notebook with a sturdy cover and 300 good quality pages. I finished the notebook a few days before I finished the Camino and had to buy another one. But that's not the guilty part. The guilty part is that I got...

    Second and subsequent Caminos as good as the First?

    I walked my first Camino in April-May 2015 and will do it again in April-May 2016. I am returning to Camino Frances. It will be particularly meaningful to visit places where I had especially good time, or especially bad time, in 2015. Much of the pressure will be off. I will know what to...
