    Embarrassing moments

    I rarely laugh aloud, but I busted-a-gut on this one!! Thanks!

    When Posting Reviews on Gronze . . .

    Sadly, it seems indicative of the shortsighted times in which we live.

    WhatsApp, pay in advance?

    I never heard from my bank about this 'virtual card' but it sounds like a smart thing to do. I must inquire! Is it a card number that is a type of substitute (place holder, if you will) that you provide online or over the phone?

    How often do you take a break?

    Hardly ever take breaks--I am short and stride is tiny and many old injuries have come back to haunt me. If I stopped for more than a few minutes to eat, I'd still be walking after sundown!

    Soft tips for new walkers

    Last night I learned I snore...

    Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwww yes it is too creepy to have that person touch you like that....

    I arrived in Santiago and didn't see a single pilgrim.

    It’s because they all are on the Norte where I am! BTW I like how you write. Very expressive. And yes I agree with you about the Invierno.

    Knocking on doors to find a place to stay

    Never say never, but most likely I would not ask a private household if I might sleep there unless there was something quite wrong with the surroundings or circumstance. Having said that, I recall many years ago staying at a former boys school while on one of my caminos. While it had individual...

    What to do with three weeks after Santiago?

    And has good gelato!

    Best options for paying and getting cash in Spain as a US citizen

    I'd be interested to know if this works. In UK they will not break notes into lesser denominations if you don't have an account at that bank, even if you just used their ATM to get the money!

    what to do with pack while in a cathedral

    We have many pilgrims leave their packs at Pilgrim House while they go to the Cathedral or to meet folks, etc.

    Spider bites?

    Yeah I have found some folks don't want to admit that there are bedbugs in their place (too many repercussions) so come up with other diagnoses....

    Outraged

    I find that in such outrageous circumstances, pointing and laughing at the perpetrator works wonders.

    Restaurant leftovers

    Just so. For pilgrims, tossing into our packs a lightweight food grade silicone pouch works well on such occasions

    Tell me your “everything is going haywire on my Camino” stories

    Tell me your “everything is going haywire on my Camino” stories

    While I do get upset when people have difficulties, I admit to getting more upset when it's an animal, particularly dogs. So sorry to hear of this scary situation and am happy things are improved. Sometimes the time (to walk) just isn't right.

    Laundry advice

    While I understand the convenience of the all-in-one washers at laundromats, I am disappointed that they all seem to have additives by which I mean fragrance and other odds and ends, including fabric softener. The tags on some of my clothing say not to use these additives. That fact, plus I...

    Best / Recommended Pizza places on the camino?

    This vegetarian would expect it and be grateful!
  19. Mycroft

    What to Order at a Bar or Cafe after Using the Restroom

    As one who is a vegetarian, does not drink coffee or alcohol or soft drinks, I am happy to learn leaving .50 euro is acceptable. Thanks!
  20. Mycroft

    Is there anywhere we can share foods in Camino? Like you cooked too much.

    I always am happier after I have seen a photo of a dog!!! Hello, Fuji!!
