    Privacy in the shower

    A good tip is if you find yourself in an open shower or shower cubicle without a door situation is to be aware when other pilgrims routinely take their showers. Normally in the afternoon after check in. So a good time to go for privacy would be dinner time when most people are out, later in the...

    How to stream the movie "The Way" in the US

    It’s available to rent or buy on iTunes in Australia just checked. Hopefully the US version might have it if you haven’t checked there already?

    4 Extra days. Where would you travel?

    Porto, Portugal. From memory when I went after my first Camino it was only a few hours via bus (but there may be a train too?) from Santiago De Compostela. You could definitely hit the highlights in a few days.

    What to do and not to do in a Refugio/Albergue

    Definitely PLEASE pack your bag or at least 90% of it the night before. On the Donativo point, so many people have infuriated me by saying that it was 'Free', pay at least what the going Municipal Albergue rate is, if it includes a meal add on the average price of a pilgrim menu. Also one of...

    Mystery

    I can help with this one ... soap net bags! They turn a bar of soap into a whole new lathered showering experiencing, they also exfoliate at the same time and then allows you to hang it up to dry afterwards! A cheap little lightweight camino luxury!

    What suggestions would you make to improve the camino journey?

    My wish would be for all or even just some of the water fountains to be left turned on for winter pilgrims. Being a winter pilgrim you expect longer days and less accomodation options due to the majority of the albergues closed and the possibility of fewer cafes open, its the sacrifice for a...
