    Vertigo issues on the Sanabres?

    Hotel Monte Carlo. Across the street from the train station. I think it was 40E. Attached restaurant not very fancy but good food. There is a local dish on the menu that was great. The waiter will know. Buen Camino!

    How to keep from killing your partner on the Camino?

    I walked the Camino, SJD to Finisterre, last fall 9/21-11/3. Just to confirm the advice you have received. Walk at your own pace and catch up along the way. Saw many couples do this and it seemed to work out fine. For me walking solo, being alone with my thoughts, and finally after a...

    Bring extra tips for trekking poles?

    I walked the Camino Frances to Finisterre last fall using carbon fiber Black Diamond trekking poles, don't know the model but they were discounted to $115 US, and both tips and rubber covers held up fine. This included 3 months walking on trails at home before starting the Camino. Buen Camino!

    Special places deserving exploration on C. Frances

    Leaving Triacastela take the alternate route through Samos. North of Samos the walk leaves LU-633 just past Teiguin and goes through a beautiful river valley that takes you to Aguiada and back on the main route to Sarria. I found this walk on 10/22 to be almost magical including running in to...

    knives?

    Definitely take one along. Used mine for cutting various food items especially when stopping on the road for lunch. I had a pair of manicuring scissors but having them built in to the knife would be best. Used my scissors to cut open a blister that would not drain using needle and...

    Water on the walk

    I am on the Camino right now. Staying tonight in La Casa Magica in Villatuerta . I am carrying a 64 oz bladder and I filled it twice today walking from Obamos which is a little over 20K. I would suggest you each get a 64oz bladder. Got mine at Walmart for $12.

    I think I bought a train ticket, but cannot print it.

    Thanks for the advice. I just spent an hour trying to book a rail ticket from CDG to Biarritz for 18/sept 2015 on Rail Europe, SNCF, and DB Bahn and did not get anywhere. A first for me. The Rail Europe would only open for Mid East countries, SNCF would not let me enter a date. Looking...
