There definitely is a general pull on the Camino. When people get up in the dark, I wonder whether they are doing this to find a juicy spot at the next albergue. We usually were amongst the last ones to leave an albergue, around 8 am. The weather, our bodies, the paths, the attractions of a church or a spot in nature (and the amount of washing!) were commanding our pace.annakappa said:My husband Adriaan has [...] proposed that this year, we walk on to later in the day. The heat won't be such a problem, because we will be walking in September and October. I think that this time, we will take it easy. Stop maybe for lunch on the road and then carry on.

They leave early in the morning to get their afternoon nap before the snorers reach them again, RENSHAW.

After stopping for the day about 1:00 or 2:00, get my bed, shower, laundry, tend to feet, siesta, find farmacia and/or mercado, visit, write, go to mass or visit local church, reorganize for the next day, dinner, sleep. I loved the beautiful simplicity of it all. Through it all, the ONLY firm plan I kept was to just get up in the morning and walk, whether it be 2km or 20km. That was MY goal. I let the Camino do everything else. It has a heart of its own that will direct you if you listen and follow.-M
MoniRose, my feelings exactly!!!I loved it when I finally fell into somewhat of a routine. It helped me stay organized. Up and walking by 6:00 or 6:15, walk, pray, cry, walk, laugh, talk, eat/drink, more walking, praying, talking....and so on.

It seems strange that most now post that they are walking by "6 am".
...in order to secure a bed what do they do to pass the time?
....and during June there can be pretty hot days on the Camino, reason for which an early start is not misplaced.In June civil twilight is before 6 a.m., so there is plenty of light to see where you are going.
Ahh , I can tell exactly what they do - they use all the hot water and go straight to sleep. THEN! They grunt and stare at you in discust when you arrive , during the day, and you wake them up as if it were an intensive care hospital -------THEN! They complain that they cannot sleep during normal sleeping hours -(They have already had 6 hours sleep by 9pm) because you are snoring - Then! they get up at 4 to make sure they get a bed at wherever :mrgreen: sad - I'llseep on the porch.
Always take your valuable stuff, and you will be fine.can I leave my backpack on my bed?
Thanks, I didnt think of bugs!!!!!!!!!Bumblebee,
Never put your backpack on the bunk but place it on the floor near the bunk since a pack could be dirty or carry bugs . Be sure to take with you all important items ie money, passport, credit card, Credential, camera and phone. Some albergues do have lockers which lock but many do not.
Buen camino,

you got it about right.LOL ..Save a spot for me on whatever porch it is.CheersAhh , I can tell exactly what they do - they use all the hot water and go straight to sleep. THEN!

Ooooooooooooh Margaret, I have to disagree with you here. I NEVER put my pack on the floor. Bedbugs walk on the floor and walls. I first of all try to secure a chair to put near my bed and put the pack on it. That failing, I hang it somewhere. So far, I've never had to put it on the floor.
I thought they lurked in beds?
Just to chill after 8 hrs walking. Have a snooze, a beer and talk to people. That’s what I like to do....in order to secure a bed what do they do to pass the time?
I can see this might not be a problem in the bigger towns and cities, but what about the one horse towns?
