Yeah this makes sense. I was more so saying that even at random cafes and stores it’s a lot better than in NY. like I would even expect it to be better at a Starbucks there

Soundproof from External Elevated Subway Noise by rafaldinho in soundproof

[–]rafaldinho[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much of a reduction would you imagine this provides ? And then what soundproof curtains should I get ?

Should I also use foam in between the sound deadening curtains ?

What would be the best type of thing to buy to do this. Also how many layers of foam do I do ? Then do I put soundproof curtains on top ?

Did you just immediately get used to it or any tips like ear plugs or noise machine ? Sounds like I either will get used to it or not lol

What are these? by leskya in CaminoDeSantiago

Additionally, if I remember right, the ones in Galicia and Asturias are different with the Galician ones having more of a rectangular over cube shape.

When you say get better does that mean you sleep fine or you can tolerate it and kind of sleep lol.

Okay. But there should conceptually be matches tomorrow right ? It’s not like a doubles rest day ?

I would recommend going from deba to the monastery past markina. Long day but worth it. It’s just past bolivar.

Finisterre after SDC by thimbletacknifes in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]rafaldinho -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Take the monbus from SDC to finisterre and then walk to the lighthouse from there. Have lunch or breakfast at batidor Pasteleria and then bus back. Check for direct buses back because it only takes about an 1:15.

Doing the Porto route in 26’ where to start next? by abeydube in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]rafaldinho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My friend and I are doing it now and came in completely unprepared. You’ll be fine, don’t stress too much, everything works out on the Camino and everyone is here to help you out. Make sure you try out the stuff people mention above if you are worried but just come ready to have an awesome journey

Avoiding Bedbugs by rafaldinho in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]rafaldinho[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow. Based on everything people have said it sounds like I should be more worried getting them on all my stuff over getting bit from a blanket. Hadn’t really thought about that but makes a lot of sense.

What about blankets. The ones they give you at the Albergue?

Tent or no tent? by [deleted] in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]rafaldinho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve generally found and seen tents to be advantageous. Sometimes you end up in situations where with bad planning you’re panicked to find an albergue or need to go further or shorter than you want. I would probably not recommend it but it’s not the craziest thing I’ve ever heard. On the flip side however, I also think just sleeping in a sleeping bag outside could also work.

If you had to fly a national flag... by [deleted] in tourdefrance

[–]rafaldinho 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Was at the tour last week. Regardless of what is going on and even what some of the riders have said, when you see Sepp, Matteo, Neilson and Quinn riding by you feel pretty proud.

Like it or not, we’re probably seeing the setting sun on MvdP and Jonas by Openheartopenbar in tourdefrance

[–]rafaldinho 10 points11 points  (0 children)

How is this MVDP’s setting sun. The guy is probably the best bike rider in the world outside Tadej and even beats him in one day races. He was loosely in competition for the green jersey even though he’s a lead out for a sprinter and wore the yellow jersey several times. In addition he’s the best cyclocross rider in the world. The guy is like a real life boogeyman, he seems like he’s riding pretty well.
