Concerning the CPAP machine…the travel kind, as mentioned earlier..am hoping to receive it this week (national general strike in France permitting) and am curious to see how it will work, how it will fit in my rucksack and the noise it makes. Finally found a company that rents this equipment.

I’ve used my Resmed AirMini a few times and am impressed with the size and function (not to mention the weight)

Thanks for the uplift…will see what arrives in the post from northern France. Probably better than the Bulgarian outfit in any case…

Can anybody help out with the text of this oft-mentioned card. Now that I'm getting prepared to print and laminate a card for this purpose, I can't locate the text I captured elsewhere. Thanks in advance, everybody.

I put the following text into Google Translate on my smartphone and 'starred' it:

I use a breathing machine to help me sleep at night. I would prefer a bed near a power point if possible.

It could then be translated into Portuguese or Spanish as I moved along the CP. It was the same text that I used in WhatsApp and booking.com when discussing my needs with accommodation providers. A card wasn't going to be useful in those circumstances.

Hi all, It's been a while since I posted here, but happy to be back. I hiked about 100 miles in 2015, loved it, and the Camino got into me and became part of me. That pilgrimage resulted in a...
