    'Addiction'- an appropriate word for wanting to walk the Camino again (& again)?

    While I understand some people's sensitivity to the term addiction due to their life experiences Miriam Webster also defines addition as - a strong inclination to do, use, or indulge in something repeatedly. This may be a common use definition, that has been added over the years, but it...

    3 weeks post Camino, still at loose ends

    Meditate morning and evening for a few minutes on what the Camino meant to you. It is a good way to settle those feelings into your bones. Buen Camino

    Any tips for a first timer starting out in February 2018?

    But can open later if there is alot of snow. Also - take lists of open albergues with a grain of salt. I found a few that were closed even though a kind person a few days earlier had them on a list of open albergues.

    Leaving a loved one...

    For those left behind, I put an app called Followmee on my phone and sent them a link and they were able to see where I had been in the last 16 hours. Dad would wake up and check to see that I had made it to my next destination - then not worry if I hadn't checked in yet.

    Another Camino newbie

    It is easier if you have the passport when you meet up with your son. They are available in Leon, but having one in your hand will save you a trip out to find one.

    Remember the first rule of the jungle/camino!!!!!

    Like all machines ATMs can fail. If they restart or have a computer error during your transaction, you may not get your money or your card back. It is rare, but it definitely happens.

    Remember the first rule of the jungle/camino!!!!!

    I think he is saying it is safer to us an ATM when the bank is open. Then if there is a problem they can help you. However, these days, some bank ATM's are being serviced by outside companies, so even when the bank is open the branch staff have no keys to retrieve captured cards. I learnt...

    sending excess luggage SJPP to SDC

    The other thought is SJPP is in France and you are sending the bag international from the French postal service to the Spanish. I have heard this can be more costly and troublesome when/if time comes for tracking the package.

    Walking alone?!

    The list of common phrases was useful for me. Eventually, the list got longer and longer.

    Starting from Saint Jean on 7/8 th September. ,2017

    Hi Mayuresh - Welcome to the forum. I love the Camino and am very excited for you and am jealous about the journey you are about to embark on. Your post made me smile, as the title of your post " 7/8 September, 3027 " implies you will be walking in 1010 years. Thus the comment from pensioner45...

    Walking iPhone apps

    I used maps.me and in that downloaded all the Spain maps onto my device - then I didn't need wifi when looking at a map.

    Extra shoes?

    I met a Danish woman whose shower shoes were crocs and when her boots had failed her, she had walked over 500km in the crocs. Not a recommendation, but might be something to think about. My second shoes were the shower flipflops, I walked around town with them, but didn't wear them with my...

    GEO tracker, anyone ever use one?

    GPS does not use data. You can use followmee without data, it stores the tracks on your device and uploads to the internet when you find wifi. However, if you do not have data, you do not get real time location.

    GEO tracker, anyone ever use one?

    Actually, I would have assumed the Tile wasn't working properly . . . I am not a worrier! o_O I lost a Black Yi Camera, in a dark restaurant, the day before I got the Tile to attach to it. I was unable to ring it, or see if it was still there. The Tiles seem the perfect solution. :D
