Buying A Phone in France
Yes, indeed. In fact, I've long preferred a dual SIM phone so I can keep my 'home' SIM in one slot and the relevant international SIM in the other slot when I travel so I can conveniently switch between the two depending on the location and the purpose.- David from Freo

Buying A Phone in France
I have two things to add (as an Aussie who walks in Europe from time to time) to the discussion. Several years ago, my Android phone died in Portugal. I easily bought a replacement (Samsung) which served me well for years. But as the seller explained, for some weird technical reason the first...- David from Freo

What is the best SIM to use
Hmm, my memory is not 100% on this, so this information on data may not be correct. But if I recall correctly I did have some problems with data downloads. It worked most of the time, but I did have to reconfigure my phone several times over the course of the months I walked as it seemed somehow...- David from Freo

Weight/equipment, winter caminos and medical issues
re: Hi-visability vest for walking beside busy roads. I usually wear a bright 'safety orange' or red T-shirt on my Camino walks to increase visibility beside roads, but on my Portuguese Camino I decided to also take a pair of hi-viz/reflective straps with velcro ends which I bought from a...- David from Freo

Trekking Pole Suggestions
I am a late convert to using walking poles, having in the past always simply picked up a sturdy tree branch by the side of the track to use for support when necessary. However, just prior to walking the South West Coast Path in the UK earlier this year I decided to try a walking pole as the...- David from Freo

How long do your shoes last?
Wow! Now THAT is serious durability in a hiking shoe/boot! I am not familiar with that brand. Perhaps it is not readily available in Western Australia where I live. I must keep my eye out for it when I am next in Europe. Thanks to everyone who is responding to my query. I am finding all...- David from Freo

How long do your shoes last?
I am curious about how long members expect a new pair of walking shoes to last on the Camino. I bought a new pair of Salomons after finishing one Camino, broke them in with various preparatory walks in Australia over several months (probably walking a total of only a couple of hundred...- David from Freo

What is the best SIM to use
Dear Gimoz, Like you I am an Aussie. On my early Caminos I used to buy a local (Spanish/Portuguese) SIM (trying various companies over time) and go through the process of shifting to that when I arrived in Europe. This worked ok, but was quite a hassle -- and not particularly cheap. On my last...- David from Freo
