Everyone will have there own thoughts on boots - but I have never needed them I just get runners with lots of cushioning and a wide toe box - As much as I love Spain, Sydney is fabulous if I can saty away from the traffic.

    Thanks for the reminder, I have relied on my credit card insurance in the past and the one time that I needed it (in Thailand) they responded perfectly and paid up promptly. I need to see if anything has changed.

    I recommend wearing long pants over Somport. From the long grass I had 12 tiny ticks and I was getting them off other travellers 2 days later.
