    Avoiding the breakfast trap?

    Do bathroom necessities before bed. Get on the trail early and hike until you come upon a likely looking cafe or bar. Stop and get something to eat and drink (usually involved a cappuccino). Then move on. It worked for me during my 2 Camino. Buen or Bom Camino!

    Do You Ever Get Days...

    That’s why I returned 2 years later and did a different route. Bom Camino.

    Ryanair-time to find another airline!

    I was planning to use this airline to get to Wroclaw in May. Now, there is No way I would ever use Ryanair. Further, had this red neck Kentuckian been on the flight, the racist punk would now be sporting a shiner.

    Compostela or Passport: Which Means More to You?

    Got 2 of each and greatly prefer the passports. It’s the journey rather than the destination.

    Too late. It was working until people asked-"Then why do you talk about it all the time and why are you going back next week?"

    Feeling quite dissapointed and haven't even started my way

    You are putting way way way too much importance on others' opinions, feelings, idiosyncrasies--. Don't sweat the small stuff, and as they say, "it's all small stuff."

    Safe to Leave Your Backpack?

    Not the same but-I forgot to retrieve my Black Diamond trekking poles from the Jacotrans driver when I chanced to meet him when picking up my pack in O'Cebriero (this is one of the times I chose to hike up a mountain without the backpack). I put my pack back on and realized that the poles were...

    Safe to Leave Your Backpack?

    And it only costs 3 to 7 euros, depending on the section you are hiking. The closer I got to Santiago, the cheaper the cost. Competition I suppose.

    Safe to Leave Your Backpack?

    But you don't have to stop when you reach your pack. Twice I sent my pack up a mountain, picked it up at an albergue or bar and continued hiking a few more miles.

    Safe to Leave Your Backpack?

    There is no sure answer. I repeatedly left mine unattended during my 17 days on the Camino and never had a problem. I also used Jacotrans a couple times and my pack was left at a local bar for me to retrieve and take to a nearby albergue. Once again-no problem. However, my valuables were always...

    Camino Calendar

    Al, I am reasonably computer/internet savvy, but attempting to enter my start date (April 30 from Sahagun to Santiago de Compostela) has been an excercize in futility.
