    Why has "No Money" topic pilgrim created such controversy?

    Why has "No Money" topic pilgrim created such controversy? It appears that No Money Pilgrim is staying at the Little Fox House, for no money, but he is working for his keep ( just as many volunteer hospitalro do) I have in previous posts been critical of the no money concept, but I concede that...

    Charity Collectors Scamming in Santiago?

    I do walk away, but I find it sad when I see innocent victims being scammed, the elderly lady gave two notes ( I'm not sure of the denomination but the smallest is 5 euro ). And the Korean also gave a note and the scammer tried to take more! I see the same people daily, the authorities MUST see...

    Charity Collectors Scamming in Santiago?

    Having spent some time on several occasions in Santiago I have observed what appears to me to be organised groups scamming tired arriving pilgrims. Their main targets appear to be Asian and elderly Pilgrims, their method is to approach you to sign a petition and if you oblige they then follow...

    I strongly dislike Concrete paths

    I found something worse than walking on concrete, the granite cobble stone roads on the Camino Portuguese that seem to go on forever, and the stone wall fences that prevent you from walking to the side of the road.

    The daily routine

    Don, sometimes being a snorer has its advantages, at one Alburgue soon after Pamplona the owner overheard me warn a fellow pilgrim of my potential to snore, he moved me to a six bed snoring room. I was the only one in that room for that night, I later heard that the main dorm of about 40 beds...

    What are the Do's and Don'ts of Albergue Etiquette?

    I had my best nights sleep in a snoring room, I was the only one in there:). The person that I had walked with was in the main dorm about 40 beds almost complete, he complained he had the worst night ever for snorers :)

    What are the Do's and Don'ts of Albergue Etiquette?

    Lights out rules, curfews etc are generally well publicised, however, Something that is rarely mentioned but is just as important is what time can the lights be turned on? If someone wants to sleep till 8:00 should we all fumble in the dark to keep them happy? I have been in dorms where almost...

    Need GPS Suggestions

    A GPS will provide directions to a preset destination, and it will show you a map, but it won't identify the correct route to stay on the camino.

    Iphone GPS overseas

    It is not a Vodafone product, Hits mobile use the vodaphone network . I purchased my SIM from an Australian reseller mobipassport http://www.mobipassport.com.au/ and their product description included free international calls up to 5 minutes to Australia, this was further clarified to me by...

    Time off??

    In Australia you also get long service leave, a bonus 3 months for each ten years service, this can be accumulated ie 6 months for 20 years or take it as cash when you leave. ( for some private industry's the entitlement applies after 15 years) after the initial qualifying period long service...

    Iphone GPS overseas

    There is no need to have GPS in case you get lost ( Camino France's ). The locals will realise you are lost before you do! On several occasions I have been redirected back onto the Camino when I had unknowingly missed a turn.. Don't rely on wifi to access online maps, and don't use you global...

    Time off??

    I didn't appreciate how lucky we are in Oz, the minimum annual vacation entitlement is 4 weeks excluding public holidays. Maybe that is one reason you see so many Ozzies travelling?

    Food on the Caminos

    The only condiment that you can be confident in finding is salt, cooking oil is hit and miss, olive oil is a rare find, after checking in check out the freebie cupboard in the kitchen for donations leftovers from previous pilgrims, if you find something you can use put it aside because if you...
