    Warnings about your (national) passport

    Blimey you're digging up the deceased now. That was over 3 years ago.

    Communicating... English?

    If you're using a smartphone I found Google Translate with Spanish loaded as an offline language came in useful even if only to prepare some phrases in advance. In a Vodafone shop in Cée it was the only method to find out the code for determining how much credit was left on my SIM card.

    Which GPS do you recommend?

    Well I'm running a Garmin foretrex 401 that does not meet your criteria. It does run on AA batteries but as I've been using cheap ones rather than a good brand I've not found the battery life to be good. I'm going to switch batteries to a decent brand on the next swap-out. It doesn't have...

    Your Scallop Shell
