    Accomodation...or lack of

    You,really like to suffer as I did twice having no place to stay. Cold, rain and dark and all albergue were full, even expense hotels as well as we had to trek another 7 km to find a bed. It's not a adventure when you didn't carry a sleeping bag and out in the middle of pilgrims village. It's...

    May vs September

    September is much better rain wise. Last year it rain three time compare to daily on and off rain in May. I'm on the Camino, and it's May 13th, 2016. There was mud everywhere, and many hostels full. This doesn't happen in September. So IMHO September is better than May, except the...

    Training regiment suggestions?

    Just keep walking one day until you are tired, and then some. Expect your daughter to find her stride and walk further. Best thing to do is not carry too much stuff. Just basic stuff of change of clothes, your journey is just ten days. Practice and practice, if you have never done the Camino...

    Is the Frances much busier this year?

    You get all kinds of weather in early May, you never know, but pack shirts to layer and two shorts. I carry wool leggings of old bicycle clothes that did the trick when I needed extra leg warmth. Best thing I carry was compression long sleeve shirts.(2) Fit well, light weight and can wear...

    What a difference a day makes! (Not to get complacent...)

    OMG , send me chills. I remember waking up in cold mornings and leaving the warm Albergue to be greeted and warmed up by the morning sunshine. I knew that God would provide.

    Which camino to do?

    No regrets doing the CF last year. Love it so much, I am going to do it again in May. Making friends along the way you will see how much of a small world we live in and the things we have in common. Doing the Camino is a lot different then walking the trails. You come into cities and read of...
