    KiwiJohn reacted to Robo's post in the thread Shower/bathroom etiquette in the albergues? with Love - Red heart Love - Red heart.
    @kwinward It's a good question and one that I'm sure worries new Pilgrims to a degree. I was an avid 'avoider' of Albergues for a number of reasons. I like my privacy, was worried about my snoring, etc etc. But bathroom etiquette, was also...
