    Hello from Puerto Rico

    Norman: 3 wks ago, I returned home from walking the Camino Frances from St Jean Pied de Port. A shorter but different experience from the one you are undertaking, but regardless of the distance or mode of doing it, you will have the time of your life! Buen camino :arrow: Annie: First news...

    refugio at Orisson

    Here's the email address that I used last year: refuge.orisson@wanadoo.fr I suggest you reserve well in advance, at least 3-4 wks prior to departure to make sure you get a confirmation of availability. Remember it's a small albergue (only 30 bunks) and in high demand for the breathtaking...

    Class of 2008!

    Cyd wrote : Being a tropical bird, I am not used to very cold weather either, so when I started my Camino at Roncesvalles on April 23, the weather was still very unstable. I did not use the blankets, not because they were skanky, but because I had brought a 4 ounce silk mummy liner which added...

    Planning for a trip May/June 2008

    Agree with you on the symptoms, except I was speaking pidgeon English, rather than Spanish (my native language) For those would-be pilgrims that do not have an outdoor equipment store nearby is: - spending time online comparing and purchasing camino equipment - developing a packing list...

    Adelaide woman, 56, preparing for the Camino April/May 2008

    Hi Clarissa, Congratulations on your decision to do the camino next spring. :D One thing: don't worry about your age, you'll see much older people along the way. But DO prepare physically, to take you over hard climbs & descents and you do need to be able to walk long distances. The...

    electricity

    While preparing for my May camino, I had your same concerns on keeping my batteries fully charged as I shoot everything that moves, or is static. Fortunately an experienced american pilgrim helped my out. Universal chargers will probably say something like this on the back: 100 VAC-240...

    Tour support

    Hello Suzanne I’m sure you won’t have any problems with luggage transport from point to point. There are local taxis that provide the service for a few euros. The fee in 2004 was 3 euros; but inflation may have brought the price up. Be advised that they do not like heavy luggage because...

    My first camino April 2007

    My first trip April 2007 Dear Jonelle, For blister protection and tired feet, there’s the “ungüento del peregrino” a natural petroleum based product containing healing and antiinflamatory components such as eucalyptus, camphor, aloe vera and arnica. It’s sold almost everywhere along the...

    Introduction

    Hello! My name is Lillian Rodriguez from San Juan, Puerto Rico. I'm 62, retired and bitten by the camino "bug" that compels you to return for more. During September 2004, I did the last stages of the Camino Frances, from Sarria to Santiago, continuing to Fisterra. Certainly one of the...
