    Today I started using my nem boots, that I received in the past Monday, a Bestard Trotter II. A 12 kms hike in road and forest tracks. Even using hiking socks, by Lurbel, I had 2 not blisters, but beginning of blisters. That medium pain that you know if you walk 2 or 3 more kms will become a...

    First of all, thanks for taking your time to answer me. I´m following your advice and I will check on booking acommodations with free cancelation, it´s a very good ideia. With that I´m able to see how the things go during the Camino and be prepared for any setbacks. I´m a little prone to...
