    dealing with photos

    You might find somewhere in the larger towns, I was not looking for that type of service so I can't comment but you could try Googling it for the larger towns. I did what most others have said above, I kept the SD cards and downloaded to a mini iPad, it was nice and light to carry and it worked...

    Hotel rooms rather than hostels?

    I too stayed in the Paradore in Leon, I will never forget the experience.

    LIVE from the Camino Fabulous places to stay!

    The two reviews are great and I will keep them in mind for hopefully my next Camino, however I have to disagree with your comments on Hotel Gaudi, I can assure you our beds did not slope and everything was very clean, The lady at reception did not speak english and this can be frustrating for...

    How much money should I need for the entire pilgrimage?

    I walked last September and though not a beer drinker I did gather it was good and well priced. I too like nice food and you will find at times when in a small village you will not have a huge choice in food and the Pilgrim meals are hit and miss but that is part of the Camino and you just...

    Drying clothes in cold weather

    I did exactly the same, 3 sets of clothing and rotated, if not dry then on the pack and get going. Very normal on the Camino.

    The Delicate Matter of Toilet Paper on the Camino

    When I walked last September I too was distressed seeing the disgusting litter, I am in my 60's and found I could "hang on" till I reached a village or town etc. I was prepared though with zip lock bags and toilet paper in each, the plan being if I needed to use them the paper would return to...

    This time will be different...less is more!

    I loved the post and enjoyed the replys, I start from Pamplona on the 4th Sept and am trying to see where I can cut things out. However Rain jacket, rain over pants are a must plus a raincoat for my back pack. In my training I have had a couple of chances to try them out and I was warm and cosy...

    Backpacker's rain gear + reading on the trail?

    I too am doing my first Camino, start walking from Pamplona on 4th Sept. On the topic of E Books, love reading and have a Kindle I use a lot but am leaving it with my luggage, 1 don't want the extra weight and 2 I don't think it will be something I will miss on the Camino, hope I am not making...

    Thanks for all of your advice as I prepared

    I enjoyed reading the results of your labour of love. You reinforced some things I already planned to do and you gave me some good ideas. I start walking from Pamplona on the 4th Sept., and leave Sydney on the 30th October and am getting very excited. I am also really looking forward to the...

    Leaving May 6, 2013 - prepared, thanks to this forum

    Have a great time, I think I have a slight idea of how you must be feeling as I am getting quite excited, 3 month 3 weeks to go. Carpe diem.

    One of those moments

    I am walking in September and I too don't really mind the rain but wear glasses and it is so annoying having to wipe them off at every chance.

    Essentials to know when going between June and September

    Thank you I really enjoyed your post, especially e. I am walking with my friend from Kindergarten from Roncesvalles on the 4th September. So much was reassuring but the Boots still have me worrying, though I don't think I will change my mind with my choice and I will take walking sandals and...

    windbreaker or altus poncho?

    We are walking starting from Roncevelles on the 4th Sept so we might come across you. I have read lot's and watched lots of movie clips and decided that rain pants and top with a cover for my back pack would suit. Even though the Backpack will have it's own cover I will still be putting...

    My friend and I are too planning our first and most probably last Camino, we do live a slight distance away and that is Sydney Australia. We are both apprehensive as well as excited, we should be at SJPP on the 5th September and start the next day. As we do not have infinite time nor can we come...
