    Niggling hates (dislikes) on Camino

    Using head torches at 5:00am in the albergue.

    Retail Camino Related Art

    The is (was) a forum member called Weiho from whom I bought a watercolour several years back. His work is accomplished and very evocative of the camino experience. Maybe approach him via a private message to see if he is still active.

    Camino Wildlife (excluding escaped circus animals)

    Hi Bradypus, they are indeed the same species but considered different sub-species. Maybe that explains the difference in behaviour. The American version has the sub-species name 'horribilis', so who knows. I am glad there are less of them in Europe.

    Toilet paper on the camino

    Funny, but I think that just a few signs discouraging litter like this could be posted on the Way, with specific reference to toilet paper, with possibly beneficial results.

    John Brierley is seriously ill - an invitation to send messages of thanks and support.

    I still have my 2013 edition of his CF guide, and treasure it. Had the pleasure of seeing the man in Melbourne half a dozen years ago.

    Bikes and Graffitti

    Well, it's mildly amusing for a start!😄

    Bikes and Graffitti

    There are quite a few rhetorical questions here Flatlander. Appreciate you are exercised by this issue but there are less grating ways of pursuing this discussion. By the way, I am also from Australia, and a former cyclist. In my opinion there is no 'strong bent' against cyclists. In fact...

    How to cook Spanish tortilla: Salmonella outbreak sparks national debate

    The noble art of chicken husbandry. Long may it last! 🙂

    At 62 thinking of getting my first tattoo, A Tau Cross?

    I agree Kathar1na. The responses reflected the ambiguity of the questions.

    At 62 thinking of getting my first tattoo, A Tau Cross?

    The OP did ask for opinions Wayfarer.

    Australians phone question

    I use an Italian or German SIM and roaming is free across Europe. However, there is a problem in that when I attempt to access my Australian bank online via my phone the website sends a security code to my Oz number, which of course I cannot use. My bank does not allow a foreign number to be...

    Bathtubs and Other Essentials While on the Camino!

    I thought about it Jeff, but still don't get the diluted sewage reference. If you fill from a tap then you are using the mains water supply, which also provides drinking water.

    Pilgrim in spirit?

    I love that 'attitude of search'...

    Pilgrim in spirit?

    Nothing at all. But, if they take the last beds, and then other pilgrims arrive and must be turned-away.... It's a vexed question.

    Life is Good!

    Well, I don't mind reading posts like these when I am stuck on the other side of the world pining for The Way!

    Sooo .. is 2022 'normal' or many tents??

    I guess the issue is whether this is a normal situation for SJPP, compared to previous years.

    Tap Water or Bottled Water?

    That's a good point, but I guess if it were not potable it would be labelled accordingly. (I hope!) I've availed myself of cemetery water in Germany and France and have been grateful. If it looks like the tap is connected to the mains I use it; if it were from a spring I would be hesitant...
  19. Karl Oz

    Tap Water or Bottled Water?

    Actually quite sage. You can generally rely on a tap being available at a cemetery, although I have no idea why. It can be a 'life-saver'. And certainly, the locals don't seem to mind.

    Albergues, what is provided.

    You will get a bed and pillow. Beyond that, anything is a bonus!
