    Walking Speed

    59 y/o female, 53 kilos (117 lb), 162 cm (5'4"): 4.5 km/h. For those who have a dodgy hip: I used to have that, and cured it completely with the most potent natural anti-inflammatory on Earth: turmeric. http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/spi ... erbs/212/2 I will take a small plastic vial...

    Two month to go jitters

    Joan, I am also a female, I have traveled alone all my life, this is my second Camino, and yes: I'm nervous and scared to death. I saw a Camino documentary on YouTube where a priests says that what we really carry with us in our Camino is our fears. In fact, I realized that the bigger your...

    Timelapse images of the Milky Way

    This is beautiful!... First I thought the post was off-topic. Then I realized it is about the unspeakable poetry of walking slowly over the thin crust of the Earth. The Earth moves East and we walk West. Everything moves, changes, metamorphes. Thank you, Stephen, for sharing. It's a keeper.

    Bed bugs alert

    Fuzzy, go to any farmacia and buy a a cortisone cream ("una crema de cortisona") to apply topically on the bites. Apply 4 - 5 times a day, and massage well. That should alleviate the itching and swelling. The one I carry also contains a small amount of antibiotics, to prevent the bites from...

    bedbugs history during my camino till LEON

    GunnarW, thank you for your detailed post about the bedbug situation in the Camino right now. I, like many people in this forum, rely on the information passed along by other peregrinos in planning my next Camino, so I find such information invaluable. One of the many advantages we have over...

    Bed bugs alert

    Different people react differently to bedbug bites. Some people develop a serious rash, some have nausea and feel very weak, some get fluid-filled boils (similar to 3rd degree burns), some get a very itchy raised welt (that can get infected if they are scratched with dirty fingernails), some get...

    Bed bugs alert

    Unfortunately, the presence of bedbugs has nothing to do with the price or, for that matter, age and cleanliness standards of an establishment, as New Yorkers have witnessed recently: http://sleepny.lefora.com/2010/12/07/th ... ween-manh/. Even Abercrombie and Fitch and Victoria Secret stores in...

    Electricity In Albergues?

    I will refine Brad's question: How easy it is to find a FREE outlet in the refugios these days of ubiquitous cell phones, ipods and digital cameras that need frequent recharging?... I'm worried about that too, as I am a photograper and have to recharge both my camera and a mass sorage...
