    Bedbugs confirmed, Albergue Monte Irago, Foncebadón

    Lol! Yeah, I meant to mention that. But I think it was also thought, it might delouse them too.

    Bedbugs confirmed, Albergue Monte Irago, Foncebadón

    For better or for worse, bed bugs are an aspect of the Camino. I think it is much ado about nothing. I always think back to what it must have been like throughout history. Most pilgrims had nothing. And if they weren’t robbed, beaten or murdered, they very likely arrived in Santiago sick...

    Begging for money along the camino

    Here's my two cents, which byntje way is probably not worrh that much. Anyway, I survived on the streets as a busker (street musician) for a long time. I was good, very good and I made bank. But it is haaard work people. I learned that there is a skill and an art to it. I had about .5 seconds to...

    Taxi in inclement weather?

    Silly notion? Downright dangerous! If you're not even willing to carry rain gear and believe a "taxi" will come to your rescue, I'm not sure this pilgrimage or any extended time outdoors is a good idea for you. This would create problems for other people.

    Unless you are experiencing a serious infestation in your own home, don't worry about bedbugs. It is much ado about nothing.

    What did you do with your Pilgrim Passport and Compostella?

    I now have several. The first one from 2012 is rolled up in a box in my storage unit. The other 4 or 5 I picked up in 2014 for Santiago, The year of Saint Francis, the walk to Muxia, the walk to Finisterre and one other are rolled up in another box in my storage unit. I visit them once a year or...

    What an Outlandish Suggestion !

    I don't know bro..... If "no wine" is a deal breaker for you in terms of walking with yourpartner, I'd say you might have somethings to look at... Buen Camino!

    Worrying Trend

    No, it's best chased with cafe con leche. I can only tolerate tortilla in the morning. But who's to say it's never too early for wine? It does have vitamin c does it not?

    I Need my Morning Coffee :)

    On the CF, cafe con leche is always close by. And it is goooood...

    Such a shame

    You carry a bottle of champagne all the way to Finisterre? Wow, that's impressive. Those thi gs are heavy.

    The Nun and the Templar - Paying for Sello (Stamp)?

    Would you still walk the Camino if you could not access the Internet ?

    I walked in 2014 sans device. It took about 2 days to unplug my mind. And then it was such a relief. So liberating.

    Real Pilgrims

    Well done you! I wouldn't waste time fretting over who did what. It is their loss. It was bucketing down rain for my last few days into Santiago and it was great! It is between me and God, we both know what I did and did not do. I wouldn't change a thing. I stayed 3 or so days in Santiago then...

    Another one bites the dust

    Why not do something completly different. Bike ride or walk somewhere else. Don't know where you are but the world is full of beautiful, moderate hikes. There are pilgrimages in other countries, coastal walks in the UK, Hadrians Wall, sections or all of the AT, PCT, Great Divide. Why limit...

    dreadful walk,awful people,

    HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! ! !!! Stop, I'm trying to poop behind a bush.Ha ha ha snort, snort!!

    dreadful walk,awful people,

    This is the post that reminds me why I carried a tent and sleeping mat. I think more pilgrims would do well to consider the implications of sleeping outside. It's so pleasant waking up to a dawn chorus of birds and watching the day get lighter from inside my sleeping bag. And yes, even when it's...

    Were you there in the 60's? A pilgrim song for you

    First song I ever learned on guitar in 1973. I was 11... Ha ha ha ha.....

    Get Off This Forum - Haven't you got anything better to do ?

    I read many posts by folks who want "to do, this, that, and the other". And it's always, "We'll do it when..." "When" and "then" will never come. You would hate to look back on your lives and say, "Why didn't we?" What is holding you back, what are you afraid of? Good luck.

    Pilgrim walks from Southampton to Canterbury using only medieval equipment

    I'm thinking he used his feet. The most primative equipment we have.

    Tenting?

    I forgot to mention that I camped past Orison in the pass just beyond the fuente de Roland. You'll come to a track that can be hard to see on the left carry on up the hill and there is an old sheep pen. Slept right on the border between France and Spain.
