Does anyone have the elephant sello as same as one on the picture?
If so, where did you get it?
I tried to figure out location of the place for that sello but it's hard to read the hand writting.
It looks like the place is somewhere between Molinaseca and O'cebreiro, though.
No, not at all!
I was just overwhelmed by all the replies
Like I said, I did not expect this many!
It's such fun to watch all the thoughts going back and forth like ping pong. :^)
wow... some firery conversations. :eek: *intimidated*
I expected to see a couple of threads with short answer either yes or no
since I thought not many pilgrims are into Pokemon Go game.
Of course there should be Pokemons and Pokemon stops in Spain.
They probaby are everywhere in big cities...
It feels quite wonderful to hear all those kind words about how brave I've been.(It really does! ;))
Almost everyone on Camino walks with pain on their feet, ankles, knees or joints whether for a short period of time or all the way to Santiago.
Each one has their own solution for their problem...
Mine was Teva Terra Fi Lite.
Teva Terra Fi 4 looks much sturdier.
I would hike in sandals if it's Griffith Park in Los Angeles or somewhere like that.
But on Camino, there are so many stones on the road.
(When the John Brierley guide book says "stiff downhill', that does not really mean...

Hola, everybody!
I came back home from Camino on Nov. 2nd.
It took me 33 days to get to Santiago.
As some of you probably know already, blisters have been delaying my journey since day 1.
I had to stop at every 40 or 50 mins to dry up...
You are one day ahead of me.
I am going in Brugos today.
Who knows, we may see each other sooner than we think. :)
So sorry about Beth's knee.
I hope it gets better very soon.
Day 10 on Camino.
Just arrived in Belorado.
I have been walking in sandals since Puente La Reina(Day 4).
Now I can walk apprx. 20K before Lunch. It's awesome.
Hoping that these sandals stay with me till Santiago, I am headed to next town, which is Tosantos after huge & delicious bocadillo(con...
Once again, Thank you all for caring and advises.
You would not imagine how grateful I am. :)
I tried to take breaks more often and dry my feet and boots completely this morning.
It worked a bit but the problem is that it takes up a lots of amount of time.
I took three 20 minute breaks in 2...
Today I took breaks more often than I did for last three days. But for last 2 hours, I did not take a break because I was too tired already(around 6pm), all I could think of was checking in at the albergue and eat.
Well, guess what. I got one more huge blister and unbelievelt sore(and numb)...
I will read and read and read these threads until I remember every words.
Thank you so much for all the advises.
Yes, I did hear that Señora Maribel is an expert on treating blisters.
Now I am in good hand.
I will keep informing here how I deal with this blister problems.(I hope it to be a very...
Thank you all for kind replies. :)
I have read posting in this forum many times before I leave home and I thought I followed every advises I could remember but I guess I was wrong.
I think I ignored warning signals that my body sent.
I should have taken breaks more often.
Right now, I am in...
