    I've been home from the Frances for just over a week. I had a doctor's appointment yesterday. He asked me about the Camino and checked my vitals. I'm 60. He said: "Your vitals are incredible". I've bounced off the edge of high blood pressure...

    MinaKamina reacted to John Holland's post in the thread An Aussie on the VF with Love Love.
    Here is a little story about one day on the VF: 2 Swiss ladies, two little dogs, a baby stroller and even more mud. It is a Thursday and I’ve been staying in the converted barn of a farmhouse at Trefcon. I arrived last night and was told I’d...

    MinaKamina reacted to Tincatinker's post in the thread September start date with Haha Haha.
    Please note Berking is the slang I use for one of the websites you’ve named. I won’t use the name because I hate making their bots happy. As an aside it’s highly unlikely that the municipal albergue in St Jean will be fully occupied on those...

    MinaKamina reacted to SabsP's post in the thread Where do ( did ) you walk locally in 2024? with Buen Camino! Buen Camino!.
    A local group constructed a pilgrimpath in honour of Christina the Astonishing ( also the inspiration of a song by Nick Cave ). We did one etapa today. Not signed but you can download the wikiloc. A combination of the long distance GR path with...

    MinaKamina reacted to naplesdon's post in the thread The price of items in bars and cafes with Thank you Thank you.
    I think the expectation that there is some sort of lighted-up menu board above the bar is ridiculous, ala Mickey D's. Sure, there may be some prices posted on a chalk board and/or a discreet carte near the bar but the price is the price; but...

    Perhaps it was a peregrine falcon? The Camino del Norte is 850 km long. Whereabouts did this happen? Birds of prey occasionally attack humans in general, they have no specific preference for pilgrims.

    I got it all sorted out now: tetanus shot at the doctor's and antibiotics at the pharmacy. It only took four hours... I'll tell ya all about it. All I know is that Isabel is a hero: I couldn't have done this without her help. Health care workers...
