    Night Hikes / Star Gazing

    In 2017 on the Messeta a younger group of walkers slept on one of the haystacks so they could star gaze. Not sure how their night went as I never ran into them again.

    What do you wish you had worried less about?

    I always recommend to new walkers to remove all polish from toes as I believe your toenails need the air as much as any other part of the body and having polish is a quicker way to lose a nail as nails can come quite brittle in shoes and socks 10hrs a day for 35 days. Just saying!

    Wise card/app

    Thanku. I see these cards advertised all the time on Facebook and wondered if they are worth the bother but after the horrendous bank charges this year in Spain and Portugal by using my eftpos and credit cards I'll look into getting one for next year.

    Request for pics of menus on CF!

    An old Polish? Proverb. When travelling expect the worst and when the best happens (nearly always!) U are pleasantly surprized. Oh and another also told to me in Poland. When travelling use your mouth and save your feet... especially relevant when walking a camino. Never be shy when u dont know...

    Solo walkers - what kinds of food do you buy at grocery stores?

    Camino Skies movie

    Yes I watched this last week on airnz on way to Fiji. I also struggled with a couple of the characters, however I did find them a very brave lot to walk such a long distance (one that I skipped thru) and made it to Santiago, especially the 70yr old with arthritis and other health problems...
