I lost the following items while walking the Camino this March and April:
One Cabela's XPG RGB II head lamp. I accidentally left this at the albergue in Carrión de los Condes. By the time I realized I had forgotten it, it was too late to go back. This is a very nice head light and I suspect the only one like it in all of Spain. It could give out 4 different colors of lights and various intensities. It also has a strobe function. I would like this returned. If you happened to pick it up, please send me a private message.
2 Wool Wigwam socks and 1 sock liner. I brought 4 pairs of socks, 2 gray and black and 2 brown. I lost one black sock and one white sock, so I had one mis-matched pair. I also lost one white sock liner. These you may keep.
1 3 euro cent coin. Now, people tell me I'm crazy and that no such coin exists. But I know I had one. I received it at the airport in Paris. I remember it because there's an old saying, "Queerer than a 3 dollar bill." This is not a slur against gay people, it comes from a time when queer meant strange. Anyway, I wanted to post a picture of it on facebook, but I forgot about it for a couple of days and couldn't find it. During a conversation about the Euro, I brought up the 3 euro cent coin and everyone just said that I was insane. If you found this, you may keep it, but please send me a picture.
2 hours of sleep. I arrived in Europe on March 6th. Daylight savings began that Sunday, so I set my clock ahead and wondered why I was the only one up at 7 am. Later when I mentioned daylight savings to my friends, they again gave me that same crazy look as when I mentioned the 3 euro cent coin. So I set the clocks on my devices and watch back to normal time. However, a few weeks later, I was surprised to find myself being kicked out of an albergue at an unusually early hour. Apparently Spain does do daylight savings, they just did it 3 week later then the US. I feel as though these 2 hours of sleep were taken from me and I'd really like them back.
What about you? What did you lose?
Yehhh. The barber in Muxia told me that with the new hear cut, I lost 10 years. I want them back.
I am still laughing. Thank you.Lost my sense of humour when I tried to relieve myself in heavy rain whilst wearing rucksack and poncho on a steep slope descending down to Roncesvalles. Ended up looking like a beetle on its back.... Actually, I had to laugh!

Lost an irreplaceable tube of Lustrecream shampoo. Left it in a shower somewhere. They stopped making it about the time I lost it. It had a lovely personality; useful and glamorous at the same time. RIP - sadly missed.
Lost a twisted elastic travel clothesline. It left me in the Albergue in Santa Domingo. Initially the parting was painful but there are plenty more where it came from. Hope it is enjoying a new relationship with another pilgrim. Lost my lifelong aversion to exercise but found a wonderful working body to replace it. Brilliant swope. A keeper. Lost my obsession with being productive. Probably need to find that; here I am again sitting in a cafe and watching the world go by.
I also lost the will to continue - when walking through the fly invested huge perimeter of Burgos Airport - from which no plane took off or landed the entire time I trudged along. But I found it waiting in Burgos Catedral.I lost a pair of huge black knickers (I do mean Huge ie Bridget Jones type) - not once, but twice! (first and third Camino).
I lost 3 toenails during the Via de la Plata, and just one during the Primitivo.
I also lost the will to continue - usually every time it rained...
Really? Well, that beats the heck out of anything else on this thread. Apparently it was a "buen Camino" for you....My virginity..
haha!
Well the sun has definitely gone hiding this even - 15 mm (about 3/4 of an inch) of at times very heavy rain in the last 2 hours with more expected. So no walking or bike riding tonight or tomorrow. Cheers
@Saint Mike II outside cafe following a hike up a hill, with sticks and small pack - it was in the sun then, but we seem to have lost that now. Think it is just hiding.
The shampoo has been replaced any times with Spanish products - but nothing will replace my beloved Lustre-Creme. View attachment 14395[/QUOT

My very expensive 50 SPF hat in Leon, which I replaced with a very cheap but now beloved hat in Ponferrada that has a cool yellow arrow on it. At the the Santiago Airport Ryan Air checkin I gave my Swiss Army Knife to a passenger in line. I forgot it was in my belt. Turns out he wasn't going to Barcelona!
Obviously I walked the Frances too early in the season this year!My virginity..
haha!
just home a week now and am sure i lost some worry lines replaced by laughter lines ,,even the days we got soaked to the skin so bad that our boots could not hold another drop of water,, we found something to admire or laugh about every single day ..found ?? some wonderful kind people that smile and and are genuinely happy to see you when you shuffle into town .and the surprise that my sis and i walked every day together for 6 weeks without wanting to kill each otherI lost the following items while walking the Camino this March and April:

Terrified of leaving from madrid.Camera, adapter, reading glasses, many torches, lots of kilos, my mind....
Heading back to do it all again from Madrid . 6/11/14
Greetings I lost a small wooden bead rosary in Astroga. I went for a pizza in a restaurant with an Italian name when I went to get my money to pay I guess that's when the rosary fell out. Did not realize till next morning when I was on the road. Would I have stayed and waited for the restaurant to open later on probably yes. It was special and had touch the walls of the room where Francisco Marto dies ,Fatima.Terrified of leaving from madrid.
November. Have no idea what to pack
I lost my sense of time. I lost (well it quit working) my watch, a running garmin I was planning on using at the Amsterdam Marathon 2 weeks after, and my cell phone, which I unintentionally threw in a river. I gained a few unwelcome blisters in exchange. Not a fair trade.I lost the following items while walking the Camino this March and April:

Depends on what else you gained.Not a fair trade.
He didn't throw a fit. But you can't take a 15 month old for 800 kilometers with only 2 toys and then say "tough luck" when they lose the one that looks like their real dog at home. That's just cruel. And as for the baby keens, we packed light. He had the baby keens and he had a pair of fancy sandles for going out to dinner some evenings (dress clothes sound silly on Camino, but not for a baby. Spaniards are only slightly shocked to see a baby on camino, but they are HORRIFIED to see ANY baby not dressed like the King of England). If he lost that practical shoe we were in trouble.Great example of parenting waveprof. Or is it just that your child has large capacity lungs?
well i also lost a book in SJPD, left it in the albergue!!I lost the following items while walking the Camino this March and April:

Lost my Fit Bit (pedometer) in the mountains just before San Diego de Ortega. When putting my backpack in a locker at the Bugos Cathedral, it fell out onto the floor! Where was it? I haven't a clue...I lost the following items while walking the Camino this March and April:

Something similar happened to me in Triana. I "lost" my hearing aid. Along with the hospitalero we search high and low with no success. That night when putting my glasses into their case I found it in there!Lost my Fit Bit (pedometer) in the mountains just before San Diego de Ortega.

My eyesight more like! Perhaps I was not as with it as normal after a bad night on a mattress next to a hot radiator.Someone's playing tricks on you.
Lost my Brierley guidebook in Trinidad de Arre. My walking companion of the previous few days saw it later in the evening on the garden table where I'd been sitting and picked it up, thinking he would give it to me in the morning. I set out on my own, early the next morning so did not see him. He carried the book for a couple of days and didn't think he'd see me again, so he wrote my name and city in it with the inscription "Perhaps the camino will take it back to her" and left it in the albergue in Puente La Reina. Two weeks after I returned home I received a call from the receptionist at my workplace with the message that someone had called to let me know that she had my camino guidebook. The caller said she had found my book in Puente La Reina and had seen the inscription with my name. By coincidence she was from the same city so she thought she would use the book for the rest of the camino and try to return it to me when she returned home. She googled my name and found it connected to the company I work for. We arranged to meet for coffee and when she walked into the cafe, we realized we had met! We had chatted at coffee stops a few times during the final week of the camino. I even asked to look at her guidebook a couple of times, not realizing I was looking at my own book! This particular Brierley book means a lot to me. It had it's own camino with someone else but found me again.

I left some kilos behind too.
Unfortunately. .....these were found and returned to me when I got home.
I left my microfibre towel behind somewhere near Logroño and learned that my lightweight t-shirt from Decathlon dried me better, so I didn't buy another towel. I then left one of these shirts behind 3 times in different places because I always hung it up to dry on the foot of my bed and forgot about it. Each time a kind pilgrim caught up with me and returned it. I leave early because I am a slow walker so others always catch up.I lost my microfiber towel on the clothesline in Sarria. Could've been swiped, but just as likely forgotten. I discovered it gone the next day in Portomarin. I went to a local store and bought a new one. Due to my weak Spanish, I could only ask "Tiene usted...?" and move my arms as if I was drying my back with a towel. My brother and sister howled when they saw my dance. It worked though. The clerk asked "Microfibre?"
"Si."
Turns out, Spanish for towel is toalla. Duh.
