    Scam - again..

    My bank in Australia phoned me while I was transferring euros into my new Wise card. Stated this was the fraud dept and had I just transferred a large amount into Wise. I was very thankful to them for keeping an eye on my account.

    Yes, its ghastly. Just checked and its just gone down to 41.1 here in Fremantle. Impossible to do any decent training just an early morning walk.

    Francés vs Via de la Plata vs Camino de madrid

    I like to walk alone during the day but enough to meet up at cafes and to have dinner with in the evenings.

    I put an extra amount of dollars in so I'm using my own money. I don't use it at ATMs but in Hotels etc. Don't know about hidden fees.

    Are You A Camino Junkie?

    7/10 for me and yes I am a Camino addict. My first was to celebrate my 60th birthday .It was memorable with 12 of my Camino family at the Parador in Rabanal. Thinking back I couldn't have started younger as my life panned out in such a way that 2007 was exactly when I needed to be there.
