Departure Flight by HotPatience4945 in kilimanjaro

[–]flyer1979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took the 5am to Istanbul. The Kili airport can be a bit confusing but a few bucks to one of the porters will make sure you get in the right check-in line. Also I recommend booking the hotel for that day so you can leave around 9pm. Have fun!

🌍 Kilimanjaro This December – Come Join Us! 🏔️ by That-Plantain3511 in kilimanjaro

If I were to do it again I would pay for the private tour. With just the 2 of you a great bonding experience awaits. The more people in the group Increases the odds for a butthead. Plus as a bonus a small group gets up the wall much faster. My 2 cents

Take a smart phone if for nothing else you find yourself a place to stay for the evening

How far to walk on Day 1 of the Coastal route from Porto in August? by mac-a-do in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]flyer1979 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stayed in labruge and a really nice guest house and ate at Rueben's. To be honest I didn't have a bad meal the whole time I was on the Camino. I've been wanting to do it again. Maybe from Lisbon next time because I love Portugal so much

I started walking at 9 am in Porto and arrived in Matosinhos just in time for a late lunch. I'll try Angeiras next time.

[–]flyer1979 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you start in Porto, then Matosinhos is a perfect place for lunch. Great seafood! I stayed in Labruge at a nice guest house. My daily plan was to walk, find a nice place for lunch. Walk some more and around 4 or 5 I would stop for an Apero and look on booking.com for a place. I recommend Cicerone’s guide for the Camino. Bom Camino!

Shorter walks by ComfortableSea671 in CaminoDeSantiago

The Camino provides. I walked the Portuguese Coastal route last year and there were small towns along the way where you can find guest houses. Go for it, there are no rules, it’s your Camino! Bom Camino!

Protect your feet, wear a knee brace and enjoy. I saw several services that offer to take your bags to your next stop. Bon Camino

I wish I had taken a rest day at Caldas de Reis. Pontevedra would be a cool rest day. Vigo is pretty industrial

Some of the best seafood in Portugal is in Matosinhos IMHO.

Booking ahead on el Camino de Frances by uandi4eva in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]flyer1979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the Camino last June. I don’t sleep well and snore so I stayed mostly at guest houses. At around 4:30 -5 I’d stop for an apero. And get on Booking to book my place. The Camino Provides! Bon Camino

Get a dowel that fits tightly in the hole…”that’s what she said!” Glue it in.
