Post Camino (Burgos to Leon) what I didn't use

Time of past OR future Camino
CF to Burgos Sept/Oct 2014, Burgos to Astorga April 2016, Astorga to SdC 2017
Pre packing for my flight home in the morning and listing what items were never used even once. Not a big list! 1. Gaiters only because I was a few days ahead of the torrential rains and mud. But yes it rained. 2. Spork that I didn't take last time. Gave away my yogurts to hungry pilgrims, 3. Anything from my first aid kit, not a blister this trip too!

Item I bought and shared that was enjoyed by others I met? A sleeve of cookies with chocolate cream centers at a beautiful covered rest stop (in the rain). People will stop if you wave cookies or oranges at them :-)

Next time: no camera as I will have upgraded to what will probably be an iPhone 7 by then. Maybe no iPad mini. With the weight savings I will bring titanium cup, immersion heater, a Melita set up and 3 pounds of coffee grounds. (Or will make up a few dozen coffee t-bag things. No SB Via for me, I can't stand SB coffee)

Coffee in Spain is excellent. Seem like a lot of extra trouble (and weight). :-)
