      I totally agree. I was recommended wax earplugs and found them to be very quiet, also not as uncomfortable as foam earplugs on the pillow. As well, I took the advice of Marguerite, the wonderful Dutch volunteer at Gîte de la Porte Saint...

      Bingo!...works for me. I also never hear the early riser bag rufflers and am surprised when I finally wake up and take my ear plugs out, how noisy the room actually is by then with everyone rushing around, packing up.

      As a sometimes snorer, and one who has had his toe pulled on occasion, and who has investigated alleviation practices without permanent success, I would state as follows. If you are going to stay in a hostel realize as a fact that snorers come...

      Snoring (another post ...) After 4 days of seriously noisy snorers in albergues, I was getting increasingly drained during the day. At one point, I was thinking whether I can continue, whether I want to, or should have to, use hotels just to be...

      You are very welcome! My goal is to possibly inspire others by following along, and it apparently inspired you! Btw, I see taking a taxi was an option going to Cea out of Ourense, but we walked it and I'm glad we did. Yes, I too, prefer stages of...

      Hi all, I am home now and it feels good except for the several days of jet lag I usually have. Anyway, I had a couple of requests for a recap of my stages, so here they are in a nutshell from my spreadsheet. Some are different than the basic...

      jungleboy reacted to Janade's post in the thread Via Francigena vs Via Francesco with Like Like.
      I walked the Via di Francesco from Florence to La Verna to Assisi to a stage past Rieti. It was beautiful, but especially between Florence to several stages past La Verna you will be hiking on trails in mountainous areas. I don’t believe I would...
