    Animals that I met (and was quick enough to get their photo)

    Walking on Diamond-Hard surfaces--Camino Question

    Hi Dave. I was most interested in the attachment to your post a couple of days ago about exercise an heart rates. Unfortunately I inadvertently deleted it and wonder if you would be able to send it again although I am not sure how I would be able to identify post amongst the numerous others...

    Hiking at Night?

    Being very silent getting out of bed so as not to disturb the others is he first step. Walking for a couple of hours before dawn in the moonlight is quite euphoric.

    Newbie arriving in SJPdP on 2nd Nov - last minute questions

    I’m doing the Portuguese and bought a vodaphone SIM at the Lisbon airport. Recommend there was one with unlimited local calls 30min of overseas calls. Each SMS counts as 2 min. Cost €20 for 30 days and I used up all the data in four days. So it was a bad deal. The GPS. In my iPhone still worked...
