    Shoes, Sandals and ?

    I took Crocs. I found them extremely comfortable after a day of walking. They were useful with socks or without. I wore them while exploring the towns at the end of the day. Mine are size 7 women's (38EU) and weigh 256g for the pair.

    I want to walk the last few days with my son who is currently in Zubiri. Is this possible?

    Buen Camino Maureen. Listen to your inner voice urging you along. It sounds like your son wants you to come along, and given your previous injuries he wants to support your camino. It is a wonderful opportunity. Go for it. Sarria is a good start point. Enjoy. Peace be with you!

    Hazards

    It is a beautiful place though. Beautiful blue water....sunshine....fresh air......cool crisp white wine....the reddest earth......the biggest trees! Can't wait to subject myself to the dangers lurking in Western Australia once again!

    Sarria - Santiago in November, Help for a brokenhearted fat guy

    I enjoyed the section from Sarria to Santiago, although I walked warmer months (in Sept/Oct). It will be much cooler now. Buen Camino!

    how I became aware of the Camino

    I had known that people made pilgrimages to Jerusalem and Mecca, and also 'somewhere in Europe' where the Knights helped them - way back in history. However, I didn't know that people actually still walked! In 2010 I was on a work trip, returning to Brisbane from Townsville on a Qantas flight...

    Top Five Things I Hate About (returning from) the Camino…

    Thank you for expressing what I have been feeling since my camino in 2012. I share your sentiments and agree with others that it boils down to the need to simplify life. However, it is really tricky to do.... and I want to go on Camino again really soon, but I have to wait... I have even stopped...

    Seriously thinking of changing the start...

    My husband and I did the same. We decided not to push ourselves on the first day, so reducing risk of injury. We went to SJPP looked around, went to the church then had a lift with Express Bouricot to Roncesvalles. We stayed the night there and started walking the next day. No regrets, no guilt...

    Trekking Poles or Staff???

    PacerPoles brand tracking poles - ergonomic design. These enable a camino with less weight on the hips without cramps in the hands.

    Is it 'safe' for me to wear my necklace and ring?

    I wore a wedding ring, silver necklace with silver scallop shells, 2 sets earrings for pierced ears ( don't want the holes to close over) - I did not feel unsafe in any way. In Puenta la Reina I was standing on a crowded platform watching the local running of the bulls when I realised that one...

    Treat needed in Leon

    I stayed in the Paris Hotel in 2012 for 2 nights. It was a welcome rest day. I slept like a log. Flowers in the window box...beautiful!

    Things that I would do differently

    No worries, I won't blame you... I won't be buying it for a while yet anyway. Next camino in 2017! Just dreaming until then.

    Things that I would do differently

    Thanks Kanga, sounds like the Featherlight Freedom may be a good option.

    Things that I would do differently

    Hello Kanga, a question about the dimensions of your pack. Can you fit tracking poles inside it? And do you carry it on the plane with you? And is it waterproof by itself or does it rely on the dry bags? I'm looking at buying another pack for my next Camino. Thanks

    Help! What are these buildings called? History?

    On camino in September of 2012 I was also intrigued by these structures and eventually saw one open. People were stacking ears of sweet corn into it. Locals said the horeos keep the grain safe from vermin.

    Anyone else walked without staying in Albergues?

    Ha ha...Glad we were able to help your brother to relax enough to be able to snore. To be sure to be sure.

    Did you mean 40 euros?
