    How to choose shoes?

    I see that you are in the US. If you have an REI store nearby become a Co-op member. You will be able to return shoes that don't work for you, even after you have worn them outside.

    Stages from Oloron-Sainte-Marie

    I walked up from Santa Cruz to the monasteries - in good weather wearing hiking sandals.😊. Footing wasn't a problem, but I wasn't a fan of the unrelenting uphill! I asked about the possibility of a taxi down when I was leaving the new monastery, and the woman in attendance suggested that I...

    How to get the soap residue out of socks

    I wonder if a vinegar rinse would be helpful, since soap is made from fat, and vinegar can cut through that.

    Prices on Gronze for rooms

    Initially, the prices were the same, so I booked direct. But I guess that they had rooms to fill and released them at a lower price on booking. The crazy thing is this was a busy time - late May in the last 100 km on the Camino Francés!

    Prices on Gronze for rooms

    Last year I booked directly with an albergue a bit after Melide. I had been looking at it on booking.com. Then the day of my booking I got one of those "are you still interested in Property X" messages, and the price had gone down to lower than I paid by going direct.

    Be careful with phones.

    This kind of theft really doesn't happen along the Camino trail. It's more of a big city problem. On the Camino we need to be mindful of not leaving our valuables unattended in albergues, bars, and restaurants. I don't usually make phone calls inside albergues unless there's an area where I...

    Feeling alone and anxious

    They were talking about both albergues and private rooms.

    If you can't get a place at either Borda or Orisson you can book two nights in SJPdP and use Express Bourricot's Mountain Shuttle, which must be booked in advance. https://www.expressbourricot.com/passengers-transport/

    Definitely not too early for either. You should also look at Auberge Borda instead of Orisson. I haven't had a chance to stay there, but it looks nicer than Orisson. https://www.aubergeborda.com/

    Feeling alone and anxious

    I read a thread on a Camino Facebook group, and people seemed surprised that they needed to bring bedding! I don't know where they are getting their information from. Actually I do - from FB groups, and not from this forum!
