Yes, taking your dirties into the shower is the easiest way to clean your underwear. It takes minutes. Strip before showering and throw your underwear, socks, under shirts and bras on the floor. Wash yourself and after the soap has rinsed over your clothing all you have to do is spot wash the...
Hi Josefina- Welcome!
In answer to your question I believe that there are many nationalities represented on the forum. What I like about this forum is that people from all over the world participate regularly. There probably are a few more American(I mean look at the difference in populations)...
Hi Pips,
One option would be to stay the night in Bayonne and catch the first train/bus out in the morning. Due to transportation scheduling last fall we were unable to get to St, Jean in the evening so we stayed in Bayonne at the Hotel Paris Madrid. It is located next to the train station and...
We started the Camino last fall on October 23rd. We had planned just 1 week to walk. The weather was cool but not too bad especially for two middle-aged overweight people. My husband and I did not know what to expect so we packed high tech shirts like Under Armor and pants with zip off legs...
We were on the Camino late last October when an early snow storm hit. We had not brought clothing to wear that would protect us from that weather so we quit a few days early and went home. Disappointing yes, life threatening no. We saw early enough and made a smart decision to stop.
The Camino...
The restaurant tour was tempting but we had to go home :cry:
Yes, sorry about the abrupt stoppage on the blog but Madrid was not so easy for the internet access. I was surprised that there was easier access on the Camino. I'll pick up where we left off on the blog this Fall and I'll be...
Hi Ian,
We couldn't wait either. We planned to return in 2010 to finish a couple hundred clicks but we will go again this October.
How did you talk Rosie into letting you go without her? :wink:
Enjoy your anticipation!

We walked in late October 2008 and found the few albergues open to be very hospitable but our favorite was in Uterga. After walking on rocks all day and descending from Alto del Perdon our feet were in need. We limped into Camino del Perdon and got a double room. It was fantastic! The staff was...
Thank you all!
We got over the mountain to Ronceville and made it to Zubiri for the night.
We are a mess but with rest we should be up and around.

Fantastic! I am glad to hear Isabelle is well. I know I can't keep up with everyone but I do enjoy hearing about everyone progress.
Thanks for the news. And Stay Healthy!
Hi Paul-
I'm happy for you! I have not yet been on the Camino. Our journey will begin October 22nd from SJPDP or Lourdes. The decision will come last minute :wink:
Isabelle and Waverly should be near. Both began around the same time as you within a day I think. Have you met either? If you...
