Hi to All,

I try this little post for bring a smile during theses times and maybe ideas for new pilgrims. So a little relative cheap item useful (or not) related to the Camino you would want to give to a new pilgrim, you wanted to have for you first Camino or simply The Santa Claus will bring to you this year ? Santa bought me this thing for keeping the dream alive to eventually come back to the Camino before my retirement :rolleyes:

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
What I really want is a negative PCR test, but I’m expecting some new walking socks.

Your suggestion is very practical - I have my own sink plug in my wash bag and I’ve used it in high-end hotels just as often as in youth hostels and albergues. It’s indispensable.
 
I bought a sink plug after finding it tedious to wash my socks under a running tap. However I now use a small dry sac when hand washing so my plug stays home! Mine wasn't nearly as fun looking though 😊

Santa Claus has been kind this year and I have new waterproof hiking boots...for Camino training in our wet and muddy winter. (Hope we have enough dry weather later to revert to trail runners before I leave.)
