    I did it- and feel like a winna!

    Lovely post, wonderful attitude! You truly embraced it all and took the bull by the horns! Your first and last you say? Ha, let's see.. Well done!

    Cancelling Camino - Soliciting Advice

    Don't be too hard on yourself! Have you already booked accomodation? If not, there are enough options to do shorter stages from Porto. You could book the first few nights closer together and then just walk what you can each day and see how it pans out. If you're prepared to be flexible, there...

    Ordering beer in Spain

    Forgive me for saying so, and perhaps it's not relevant to the discussion, but that particular place is a hipster, craft beer pub for tourists, with prices to match.. not really typical of spanish bar culture and not a place where you'd expect to find many locals drinking. Just saying.. I've...

    Ordering beer in Spain

    Yes, I see that, and a fine selection by the look of it. A brew pub/ craft beer place right on Rua Nova.. Something for everyone, in SdC.

    Ordering beer in Spain

    Fair enough... doesn't look a typical Spanish bar, though

    Ordering beer in Spain

    You're not likely to see 'pints' advertised anywhere in Spain, apart from certain tourist resorts along with egg and chips.

    Tattoo

    If you plan to go frolicking in the sea at Finesterre, I would suggest leaving the tattoo til afterwards.. fresh tattoos and saltwater/sun don't mix..

    Where do ( did ) you walk locally in 2024?

    Aha, a little research and head scratching, and now I see that it's the Kittiwake and was indeed one of those moored for many years in Dunlaoghaire harbour. 'Coninbeg' written on the side of one of those lightships refered to the Coningbeg rock, off the Wexford coast where there was no permanent...

    Where do ( did ) you walk locally in 2024?

    Beautiful old vessel.. it looks like the 'Albatross', a lightship that was moored together with the 'Coningbeg' two miles away in Dun Laoghaire harbour, throughout my childhood. I would listen to the foghorns at night lying in bed, echoing across the bay.. Nice childhood memories, safely tucked...

    Where do ( did ) you walk locally in 2024?

    What better way to honour Saint Patrick than to climb The Reek. Yesterday morning the tools were dumped out of the van and replaced with sleeping bags, tent, stove, pots, pans and food and drink provisions for a couple of days. We set off down the west, my son and I, where we spent the night on...

    The Three Wise Men

    I don't remember it, but at a guess Belorado perhaps? A lot of murals and street art in that town..

    Niggling hates (dislikes) on Camino

    Yes absolutely, the hospi's morning routine can wait while you relax in bed. How selfish of them to expect you to get up just so they can clean the place up after you. And that too.. of course you should be allowed to blast the countryside with the music of your choice, it's YOUR camino after...

    When Posting Reviews on Gronze . . .

    Many of the those who leave such scathing reviews, seem to do so consistently, whether it be albergues or hotels, restaurants or bars. It really says more about them than the establishment they're criticising. A common trait amongst the entitled ones who feel the world, or in this case the...

    Niggling hates (dislikes) on Camino

    I'm not remotely prudish, but do we really need all this detail? I for one, don't..🙄

    Niggling hates (dislikes) on Camino

    On the Irish East Coast yesterday morning, we got a whole twelve hours out of it.. this morning, hardly a trace.

    How long is the wait for a compostela document?

    Oh, you really are too modest, Tom.

    How long is the wait for a compostela document?

    That's the experience for most, thankfully. While many of us lament the handwritten process, less time spent concentrating on writing etc, means less stress and allows more time for a relaxed interaction. A little less frustration and drama is no bad thing! I don't think that's the case at...

    Where do ( did ) you walk locally in 2024?

    It was too nice a day to work, so I took off with a friend across the Dublin Mountains to Enniskerry, we covered about 23km. I've trodden the same path so many times, it's almost routine, but my friend who's new to it, was enthralled and has now decided she wants to get a tent and come back and...

    Competition for the best hamburger in Spain

    Given that 'spray cheese' is a thing in the USA, it might be deemed a fair question.. 😂 we ate that here too, as kids. I'm sure it's still on the go!

    Competition for the best hamburger in Spain

    I've decided to try one of these 5/2 diet things for a few weeks and today is a '2' day.. I better go and do some work instead of looking at all these burgers, I can feel my willpower slipping away..🫣
