Hi all,
I was so happy to come across this forum and I can't wait to start my camino. I've gotten my backpack and equipment and I can't wait to start. I'm starting my camino from SJPDP on the 15th of May. Just a few things I wanted to ask those with the experience and helpful advice.
1) I booked the hostel for the night and I'm looking at 20 euro for the accommodation and food that first night. Is this too expensive or am I being to tight with my money? :? I have 950 euro to survive on for the 42 days,
2)I was wondering on the necessity of bringing a poncho/blanket/cushion(it's the one item) during May and June? Will a silk sheet do?
3) Can anyone recommend a good pair of lightweight shorts for me (I'm a tall, athletic female and as a result most shorts keep falling down my hips and flashing passing motorists with my unsightly ass! :shock: ).
4) Are there many places to buy postcards? I want to send one home from each stage along the camino.
5) Are bikini's appropriate wear? I normally avoid them(they are generally useless if you are swimming properly for exercise or sport, everything ends up al fresco! ) but they will double up as underwear. I was wondering if the natives would be offended by this type of clothing?
Any comments will be much appreciated, I'm walking alone and can't wait to meet anyone starting from SJPDP on the 15th!
Bien Camino!
