    If you want to take 4 rest days on the CF, where would you stop?

I also started sending my backpack ahead to lighten the weight on my feet. BUT I finished the 800km. Do what you have to do to...

    Camino Frances .. raving and a little ranting

    Thank you Kerstin for this beautiful post. Two years ago I was 10 days away from Santiago - I miss it everyday and cannot wait to go back in 2016. And yes due to injuries I had to send my pack ahead, but I would rather have hobbled along without a pack than going home pre maturely! Take care.

    Renting horses to climb O'Cebreiro

    In 2013 I came across these horses on a day when I was feeling really sorry for myself - and it was MAGIC! The horses are gentle, walk at a comfortable pace and I could observe the beautiful environment from a height without having to look down on my feet! It gave me the break that I needed so I...

    Must I carry a backpack?

    I walked the camino this year in May/June and because of injuries and being not so fit I used Jacotrans for most of the way - it was a choice between not walking or enjoying the most amazing walk (without a full backpack!) Don't feel guilty. Its YOUR journey. I also don't understand why people...

    Santo Domingo de Silos

    I was there about ten days ago. It is def a two day visit but def worthwhile. The monks also sing at the morning service, so I heard them three times. Spending the day there was so peaceful - went for short walks, had time to take photos and just SIT quietly. Stayed st the Santa Domingo hotel...

    What is the one Albergue that you would say not to miss

    Well I am not in the Municipal one or in Puntido - In Santa Brigida and so far I love it - wide sturdy matresses, superb showers ( big shower head). Little shop, restaurant, courtyard. Will let you know how the paella for supper was!

    Can I Buy A Cowboy Hat?

    Love the look of the Tilley and the ones from headhome, but most of the brands can only be bought in Canada, USA or Australia. Will be in London weekend before I start - any suggestions on brands or shops?
