    Morning Coffee Idea

    If it's a coffee flavoured caffeine hit you want then you might care to seek out these: They give you a little boost without the need for hot water. Made in Indonesia but certainly available in Europe, we discovered we could buy them from a local Chinese supermarket here in the UK for about...

    Top 15 Small Churches On The Camino

    Saint Martin's Canterbury. First church on the via Frangencia and the site of Christian worship for over 1400 years and such a modest little church St Martin's And my favourite on the Camino Frances: Igrexa de San Xoán de Furelos because (apparently) I have a thing about the crucifix. San Xoán

    It's true, sometimes Google does have its moment of usefulness!

    Selling fully stamped credentials for €30

    First 15 sellos in just 3 days! Either an exhausting walk or a "Camino en Coche".

    Camino Embroidered Patches

    Of course you could always follow @KariannNor's example and knit something:

    Spanish stumbling stones

    As is Anthony Beevor's The Battle for Spain (the revised edition) although trying to keep a clear understanding of the various alphabet soup of organisations is hard.

    Clarification of change in refund of e-tickets on Renfe!

    Never bet against the house - they always win.

    Outdoor equipment store in Pamplona

    They certainly were at the end of August when my (great)nephew started his first Camino from Pamplona.

    Lost & Found Credential found in Pamplona Cathedral this afternoon (Sept 4, 2024)

    Well done for handing it in but it does highlight a common error - not filling in any contact detail:, address, passport number, mobile phone number!

    To increase my backpack size ...or not.

    If the 48 is the more comfortable than the 33 then take the 48. Pack everything you would have taken into the 33 then, when it's full, transfer it all to the 48. Cinch down the compression straps and, voila! no vacuum. Have a good Camino.

    Why was my post edited?

    Personally I spell it R-E-F-U-G-I-O but à chacun son goût as they say in some parts 😇

    How much Spanish do you need to learn?

    I've noticed that Japanese and Korean travellers get by very easily with just a smile, a head bob and a ✌️

    So long and thanks for all the fish . . . .

    Small (4-5 kg which is about 10 pounds) dog -- should I bring her?

    Sounds like a great resort - do they take humans too?

    Can I Walk the Camino Without a Smartphone?

    Here's a compromise: take one but leave it switched off . . . unless a dire need arises. Apart from a quite solitary Camino Ingles I always found there were more than enough people along the to interact with without resorting to social tedium er I mean social media. Hell on Camino No2 I even...

    How much Spanish do you need to learn?

    Too complicated? If you say so, just don't do what I saw a couple of English people do in Tarragona once: the man leant across the counter, stuck two fingers up in front of the barman's face and said (loudly) "TWO beers! OK? TWO beers!" - in English, of course - honestly makes me feel ashamed to...

    Beverages on the Caminho Português

    Don't know but they do sell proper hot chocolate . . .

    I wonder what the Gallegos call us pilgrims?

    Another Bob! Yey! At a music festival my daughter bought a model of a skull (from the "weirdo tent") and, when asked why said she always fancied one and called it Bob. Roll on a few years and, having told her I'd no recollection of having a teddy bear as a child, I received one for Christmas...

    Selling fully stamped credentials for €30

    My younger daughter got a DoE Gold award and submitted it with her application to Durham University and was very proud of it as it included 72 hours of rain on a Welsh mountain side! (She got in) With regards to using the Camino for nefarious purposes, back in 2001 a group of about 6 young...
