    Remote working while walking

    I have an internet business and have worked during 2 Caminos. It takes about an hour a day, less on weekends, and I would take care of business when I arrived or in the evening. This work funds my Caminos! And besides I like it. Seriously, it takes no more time than blogging evey day, which...

    Joining Spouse in Léon. How to get my pilgrim passport stamped?

    And they have 1 private room with a double bed, very small. A nice change for a couple. Be sure to book it ahead of time.

    Transportation from Santiago to Fisterra/Muxia

    After taking the bus for Finisterre, we shared a taxi with another pilgrim for 5 euros a piece. It was worth it. After 2 months I was so done with walking. :rolleyes:

    Private Rooms on Camino Frances

    We've used booking.com often on 2 caminos, but a warning. Be sure to take a look at their map to see where the place is located. Their definition of what's available in a city is sometimes loose. We once found ourselves with a non-refundable reservation in a place 10 kms. off the Camino), and...

    Emergency pack moving services?

    Be sure to check on the rates. If they consider it to still be "off-season" sure, they will transport it, for a hefty charge.

    Travelling from Santiago to Fatima

    Ditto for the bus. We took it from Santiago to Porto for a couple days stay and then on to Fatima. An easy pleasurable ride. Be sure to check out how far your accommodations are from the bus station.

    Emergency pack moving services?

    I used Correos for the Frances and was very pleased. You can book just one segment or all the way to Santiago (much cheaper). Set up the multi-day option at a post office. You do not have to know all your dates and places to stay - just figure it out day to day.

    Mass?

    We did miss Mass 2 times on the Frances when we could not find one on Saturday or Sunday and missed even more than that on the Portuguese. In one town we were informed on a Saturday that their weekly Mass was on Monday. When we got to the next town on Sunday we found out that their one Mass a...

    Sept.-Oct. 2017 pilgrims: check in! [PART TWO]

    Can we get one of these for the Portuguese?

    Shipping backpack ahead but alburgue unknown

    I thought Orisson required that you walk in with your pack - implying that that would not accept transported packs.

    Comfy Camino!

    We did mostly non-albergues and used Booking.com several times. The best option was albergues that had private rooms (occasionally with private bath). That way we got to meet more people in the communal rooms or during meals.

    Stones at Cruz de Ferro and Crosses on Fences

    On the stage to Zubiri there was a place were thousands of cairns, crosses and paper notes were left on the right side of the trail. When you looked down through the woods to the left it was covered with paper "trash." What a mess.

    10 extra days in Spain -- what to do?

    Ditto for Portugal. After our Camino we spent 2 days in Porto and could have spent a week.

    Late(r) Arrival in Roncesvalles

    Last year we arrived around 5, late April, wet and cold and were put in the overflow accommodations. It was damp, no heat, no way to dry our clothes. I was ready to quit and go home. Make reservations.

    Clean Modern Albergue in León

    We made a reservation by phone, but they have many rooms so you could probably just walk in.

    Spiritual/logistical preparation

    Before we left for our Camino we asked our friends if they would like us to offer our prayers for their special intentions. We wrote those all down and prayed for a different one each day (prayed a rosary every day, especially helpful when the going was rough), as well as offering up any...

    In English - corn crib.

    Beware of Peregrino Menu Scam

    A 3 course meal was often too much for me and I learned to order a "half board" or 1 course meal, including dessert and drink - around 6 or 7 euro. Only once was it offered for us to share a meal.
