    Am I the only one perplexed by WhatsApp?

    Oh interesting!! I see that feature was finally introduced just in 2022. Before then you required a workaround like the one I described. Glad that Whatsapp has finally caught up with me!! 😊 😊 😊

    Statue to bring home

    Have a look at this. (I am not in a position to recommend this site.) https://pilginoshop.com/produkt/souvenirs-gifts/souvenirs/granite-sculpture-saint-james/?lang=en And there is an earlier thread...

    Am I the only one perplexed by WhatsApp?

    Yes I can see that, (though they can of course copy your message if they had some reason to want to keep it). What I meant was I couldn't see the advantage to an organisation that was taking bookings for accommodation, and in some sense running a business, to have people automatically lose...

    Am I the only one perplexed by WhatsApp?

    And a tip if you do need to save a disappearing message.......forward it to yourself. How do you do that? "Whatsapp doesn't allow messaging yourself" you may say. No it doesn't directly. Setup a new Whatsapp group with a minimum of yourself and any other person. Delete the other person from...

    Am I the only one perplexed by WhatsApp?

    Disappearing messages can catch you out. :eek: I had booked a bed in a diocesan retreat centre in Ostuni, walking from Matera to Brindis on the Cammino Materano and when I got there I found the place OK but when I looked on my phone, the confirmation message from a week or ten days previosuly...

    Am I the only one perplexed by WhatsApp?

    i can remember still my total amazement in 2015, in a phone shop in King Shaka Airport in Durban, when a patient young man explained to me that even when I took out my Irish sim and put in a SA sim, Whatsapp would still work, and I didn't have to give anyone my new SA number and i didn't have to...

    Am I the only one perplexed by WhatsApp?

    Near to where I used to live in Ireland, in a secondary school, the kids had a weekly tablet/smartphone/non-smartphone walk-in 'clinic' for local seniors, which seemed to me a lovely idea, with many potential side benefits.

    Making Plans Primitivo

    Yes indeed it is true. And while I have not collected a compostela now for several years, I did in 2016 after walking the Primitivo and the Ruta Verde. No problems. I was told a the tourist office in Lugo, and I am sorry to say in a rude and unkind way by a particular individual, that I was...

    Making Plans Primitivo

    Back in 2016 I flew from DUB to Asturias Airport with Ryanair. They still fly I think. Where are you flying from. Vueling also fly from Gatwick. Edited: post crossed with @Peterexpatkiwi !! I remember the bus in from the airport was quick and simple.

    LIVE from the Camino Invierno June 2024

    @Wendy Werneth Well done with the Galego! I thought of you when I saw this coming up on Netflix..Clanes - Gangs of Galicia However it is in Castellano, but as it is set in Galicia, around Cambados, you would hope there would be some local language! I am sure you don't need to be watching...

    An Aussie on the VF

    i always thought Dampierre sur Salon had a nice ring to it and you have brought back happy memories. I arrived on a Friday afternoon, with no accommodation booked, and found the office de tourisme closed. But I found the mairie still open and they came up trumps. They sent me off to an...

    An Aussie on the VF

    I commented a few times at the time that I was hoping to visit the Johnny Cash museum. Some people took it very seriously!!

    An Aussie on the VF

    Well done. You are making great progress. I stayed at Le Gourmet. In San Quentin I stayed in the joint worst accommodation (a hotel) that I have stayed in anywhere. So you avoided that. 😉 The other was a hotel in Brindisi.

    LIVE from the Camino BP on the Catalán, June-July 2024

    Oh do take care. As there is nothing you can do tonight about tomorrow's 'complication' you should just put it to the back of your mind until tomorrow. I know that is easy to say..... I believe there is someone in Algerrí who is going to help you.....again easy for me to say. I remember...
