    LIVE from the Camino Account of a very challenging day SJPdP to Roncesvalles (crazy weather)

    I was amazed by how difficult it was to get vegetables, especially in Spain. They eat carbohydrates and meat and seafood (some of which I wouldn't eat like octopus, squid and other). Vegetables are hard to come by, I was happy to get back home to my daily allotments of veggies. I still don't...

    Pilgrimage or vacation?

    I think it is nice that someone thought enough of you to wish you well. Not everyone knows about the Camino.

    Shower/bathroom etiquette in the albergues?

    Yup, what you said! I camp all the time in the summer but I am treating myself with privacy this trip. I am outgoing enough that when I want to mix with other folks, I will.

    Rail Ninja or CP Comboios de Portugal?

    Anniespar - thanks for asking all these questions. I had exactly the same ones. I just got my ticket off CP and the site is really buggy. First you have to register and it doesn't take postal codes (with or without a space) so I just put in some random numbers and it worked. I had to try...

    Thank you!!

    Outdated credential

    Something I just read in the forums made me think - is it OK to use an old credential from 2021. I was all set to go on a Camino but the CV hit so plans were delayed to this year. I will need to get a new one, if it matters?

    Computer/ laptop for rent on Camino

    Similar thing happened to me years ago and I just went to a nice hotel and ask to rent an office space for an hour and a half. Cheap, quiet and worked out well......depends if you are near a bigger city though.

    Niggling hates (dislikes) on Camino

    Depending on the music one listens to, it can completely enhance a beautiful experience. I will certainly be taking mine with me and with earbuds, you are aware of your surroundings.

    Samsung translator app - real experience in Spain?

    Hi - I have a S23 which has the translate on it and it is excellent, I haven't used in Europe yet but will be in April. I have Chinese neighbours who are new to Canada and we use it together often. I especially like the audio direct translate so you aren't typing away.....Just speak in and it...

    Where can I find prayer opportunities on my way?

    Have you thought of getting an app? I have one that I used to go to sleep at night, it plays beautiful Gregorian chants and other lovely music accompanied by segments of the Bible. It is called "Amen" and a free products of the Augustine Institute, Catholic but anyone could use it. It would...

    Last night I learned I snore...

    Problem easily solved with ear plugs.....I have a very noisy, senior dog who coughs and pants and gets up and wanders around during the night... Ear plugs have solved the problem. Same thing with snorers, I imagine.

    Beware of Phishing Scam Targeting Booking dot com Reservations

    Thanks for that. I have noticed that they do message you through the website to answer questions etc. so that is an extra layer of protection instead of responding to emails.

    A note on reserving beds and the spirit of the Camino

    As a newbie, I listen to other people's advice and then do what I think is right!!! ;);)

    Is this your 1st Camino? If so, What are your expectations?

    I have and will not have any expectations until I am sitting in my seat on the plane headed for Portugal. Things are still iffy for Canadians as our government has not lifted the "non-essential travel" from Portugal so I hesitate a little because of that. I so want to go but I am still on...

    Missing hiker Esther Dingley, update

    That is so sad. Her partner will be devastated. I have been following that story from Canada.

    COVID The situation in Spain/Portugal as of July 8th, 2021

    I was just going to say that, get a Canadian, Norwegian, or someone from a cold climate to sleep near the cool breeze. Personally, I would love that!

    It is all opening up now: It looks like it is coming back to normal

    And in Canada too. I love British TV, movies, serials etc. etc. I never watch American TV ever.
