    Did it make a difference

    It made a difference to me, and I enjoyed it enough the first time to want to go back and do it again. Each time I discover something new about myself, not big things maybe but the clarity that comes with the walking has helped me make some decisions to be implemented on my return home.

    25 km per day?

    25 km per day is a comfortable pace for me and is what I use when calculating how much time I will need for my Camino. Some days are longer, a few are shorter. It's all about what works best for you.

    Shantiago - a Camino song in shanty style

    This is brilliant! 😍

    The Way, My Way - the movie

    I read the book before my first Camino. I must check this out!

    It's unbelievably hot here!

    I feel your pain. Had about 30 in my front paddock last night. But this summer has been very cool and wet. Only three days over 40 and right now its 16 with rain and a cool breeze. (Central west NSW)

    The Way: how do you feel about THE movie?

    I had not heard of the film until I read about it here on the forum when I was researching my first Camino. I watched it before I left and again a couple of years later. I found it very enjoyable even though it was not the Camino as I had found it. The Camino Family aspect I felt was overdone...

    albergue queuing

    The beginning of the queue in Ourense. There was a very nice bar just across the street where we waited.

    A long (winding) road.

    The long and not so winding road near Montamarta, VDLP May 2023

    Shaving,......probably more for the men!

    I get a haircut and beard trim from my local barber before I leave and forget about it for the duration, apart from a weekly trim around my mouth with a disposable razor carried for the purpose.

    A busy April?

    I have not read that since high school. I must read it again.:)

    Do you collect a Compostela?

    I am very much in two minds about this. I have claimed Compostelas previously, however I don't know if I will do so in future. I will probably decide when I'm standing in the Praza do Obradoiro.

    Carry your backpack please.

    I think you entirely missed the point of that post.

    Carry your backpack please.

    I seem to recall an albergue that will not let you stay unless you have walked all the way carrying your pack.

    Camino etiquette - passing others on less-busy caminos

    Just walk past with a Buen Camino and leave it at that. No one will be offended and there will certainly be time to talk later as you will no doubt meet in a bar or albergue somewhere.

    Diversity on the Camino

    And let's not forget 'sivvin' instead of seven, 'cluck' instead of clock and that unforgivable language abomination 'jandals' instead of thongs. :cool:

    Diversity on the Camino

    In my former job as a Customs and Border Security officer I had dealings with people of every race, creed and colour and I can empirically say that being a nice person or being a total dropkick is not related to anything but the individuals personality.

    I really wish I knew that!

    I use paper clips, the spring kind. Much more secure than pegs.

    Diversity on the Camino

    West Island? I feel a sheep joke coming......:p

    Diversity on the Camino

    Is there anyone here who has never been asked at some point in an albergue or bar on the Camino where they are from?

    Diversity on the Camino

    I am sensing condemnation in some posts because the Camino is not as 'diverse' as it should be. Given that it started out as a Catholic pilgrimage of relevance only to European Christians it's not surprising that character is still reflected today. Even so there are still large numbers of non...
