    Credit Card Nightmare

    How do you load credit cards with cash? I understand that you can put money on a prepaid debit debit card. Is revolut available as an app in Canada because that is really useful for foreign currency transactions.

    What 'Camino' Food do you Now eat at Home?

    Most of the stuff I ate on the Camino forms part of my regular diet, the thing I only ate on the Camino that I don't eat at home is Fries, I don't like them but are them on the Camino because they were on my plate, I always eat whatever food I am given.

    Poll Which accommodations do you primarily use?

    I just used the first thing that caught my eye, I would stand outside the building and listen to see if I could hear my bed calling, if not I would go to the next place. So I stayed in all sorts of places. I did not realize there was a difference between municipal , private or parochial alberges.

    Telephone calls from Spain to Home?

    It does not matter where you are calling if you have a decent connection, last year on the Frances I used my UK O2 phone on roaming and had a perfect 4 G signal almost everywhere along the route. As I was walking into Astorga I had an hour long video call with my wife just to show her the...

    The Introverted Pilgrim

    Trying to overcome these feelings was one of my motivations for doing the Camino, my burden or weight could not be dropped at Cruz de ferro as it was within me. Although an introvert I like to be alone in a crowd.

    Motivation for Training

    Take it easy at the start, stay at valcarlos and then attempt Roncesvalles or even further the next day. Many people say that valcarlos route is easy, I can confirm that the final climb to ibaneta at the end of the day is not easy but it is all downhill from there. The first week is the killer...

    Do albergues refuse the pilgrims who don't carry their packs

    To answer the original question. I am pretty confident that I saw a sign on the Xunta albergue in Ocebreiro that ranked pilgrims in the order they would get a bed if it was busy. This was on Easter Sunday this year. 1. Walkers from SJPP 2. walkers from Burgos 3. Walkers from Leon. 4 Cyclists...

    Camino question

    Banks and businesses hate having cash as it costs so much to handle, businesses all over Europe are going cashless, my local Bus company gives discount for contactless transactions and a further discount if you buy your bus tickets on app. It saves paper and administration. The banks are...

    Walking a Camino is a Very Selfish Act - Isn't it?

    I prefer selfish, what is wrong with looking out for number 1, if you are looking after yourself it means somebody else does not have to do it.
