    Telephones/Communication with home (Via de la Plata)

    Sorry for the late reply; I am trying to wean myself off the forum: too much gardening to do! I imagine Falcon is correct: I do not have an address on the info I brought home with me. I simply walked into the Orange store in Sevilla; it is one of their standard plans. It was exactly what I...

    Telephones/Communication with home (Via de la Plata)

    Hi, All: I have just finished my first Camino and loved it. I took my iphone with me and bought a new SIM card from Orange in Sevilla for 5 or 10 euro (can't remember which). I then bought a plan called "Delfin" which gave me unlimited data for 3.5 euro a week. This gave me unlimited internet...

    Altus Poncho

    The shipping costs from Peregrinoteca are much cheaper than Barrabes. I received mine in Australia in about a week. Final cost for poncho (due to removal of some Spanish taxes) = 25.42E; Shipping to Australia =16.94E. Sue

    Raincoat-Poncho

    Thanks for everyone's advice. My small Altus arrived and after trying them both, I've decided on the small. The sleeves on the large came about 150mm past my fingertips and there was room for at least two of me inside1 The small comes to below mid-calf, so that should do the trick; it is still...

    Raincoat-Poncho

    Happy New Year to Everyone! Thanks for all your repies. I have not yet decided on my Altus. I have ordered a small and will compare the two when it arrives (sometime this week, after all the Christmas mail clears). Belting up the large would be an easy answer, too. I will consider that. I...

    Altus Poncho--USA?

    Hi, I ordered an Altus poncho from http://www.peregrinoteca.com. I received it in about a week. The poncho cost E25.34 and the shipping was only E16.94 for a total with tax of E49.89. This was to an address in Australia. I think this is cheaper than ordering from Altus? My only problem is that...

    Raincoat-Poncho

    Thanks for that, Gitti. I had not considered the uphill bit. It will be very hard with mine being so long. I will see if I can exchange my large for a small. 22 weeks before I leave. Can't wait! Sue

    Raincoat-Poncho

    Hi, I just received my Altus poncho and it is lovely. However, I mistakenly ordered the large. I am 153cm 'tall' and 58kg. It is quite large on me and comes down to just above my ankles, but seems quite comfortable . Does anyone see any problems with me using a poncho so large, or would I be...
