@Gerhard58 I see you come from Pretoria, a place where security and avoiding crime is on people's minds a lot, and people have to lead lives where they are disciplined and organised to prevent crimes happening to them.
On the camino it is totally and utterly different. It will probably freak you out a bit to begin with that you'll be staying in a building in some village and someone may have left the front door wide open, and people's stuff is lying about. But this is perfectly normal and it's unusual for anything to be stolen. Simply keep your valuables - passport, phone, money etc on you at all times, and always take them to the shower and toilet. Put them in your sleeping bag with you at night. In a large city, albergues will be more secure and may have a receptionist and lockers, but even the cities are still extremely safe, and you'll see families with small children walking about at 11pm, perfectly relaxed.
You are walking in April, so should have no problems getting a bed, as long as you don't rock up at 9pm. Dogs may bark, but they are usually on a lead or behind a fence. Water is not in short supply, and neither is good beer. People have dropped dead it's true, but they probably had pre existing conditions and at least they died doing what they enjoyed.
So you'll have a challenge of trusting strangers to begin with, but that will soon be overcome. You will have a wonderful time. I make a bet with you that you will look back on this thread in six weeks and smile to yourself.
