Thank you for the kind comment! And we agree. I don't blame anyone for needing to pee when they need to pee. But it is so easy to carry some doggy bags and pack your trash out with you. Litter isn't ok just because it is more convenient for you to leave it behind. And yes, the blisters have been a big Camino lesson. They are doing better at the moment though!

That made me laugh. But no archeologist wants to find toilet paper! 😆

@tendegreeswarmer as they say, This, Too Will Pass 😆 Anyway, TP is biodegradable.

@@ExploreTayo But apparently there is a never ending number of people leaving more behind. And don't get me started on the potato chip wrappers and coffee cups. Anyway, it is just a rant.

Yes, we kept pace with the unicyclers for longer than we expected. They were working hard! 😄

Thanks for watching 😀

Same with us. Luckily we generally walk the same speed, usually in NYC mode haha. But I was walking a bit slower with my blisters, so when David would get too far ahead, he'd stop and wait.

Thanks for the comment, this is absolutely true. Some places are very easy, some are not, and of course it depends on where you are coming from. I believe India, Indonesia, and Thailand have all changed their visas in the last few years. So this is an important piece of the puzzle. 👍

I'm glad you found it helpful! The towns along the way are super cute and worth seeing, but the downhill is no joke. Of all the days we walked, this was definitely the hardest, and we were blessed with clear skies. I can only imagine how miserable it would be in the rain. But I hope you enjoy Ponferrada! We were glad we planned our stop there.

No empathy required, it was a very steep but relatively short section that was that steep. We recorded there on purpose to illustrate the point! 😆😆😆

We love a good routine, and especially when things are changing so fast we can be a bit deliberate about establishing a routine to help navigate all the change.

It is a tricky thing, trying not to move too fast or too slow. There were definitely towns we passed through that we wanted to stay at, and this walk had quite a few of them!

Thank you so much for the Super Thanks, we really appreciate the support of our channel, it means a lot to us! 😀👍

It is definitely huge! 👍

Singapore is unique in Asia. It was my first stop in Asia back in 1997 and I can confirm it is easy and a great place to start!

I wear a step counter on my wrist. I'm not brand loyal and just get whatever seems best on Amazon at the time. Currently I have the Xiaomi Mi Band 7 which has been great, I've had it about a year and a half now. I don't use most of the features and turned off the "Always on Display" so I only have to charge it every two weeks or so which has been great. I just checked and they are now up to version 9 and are advertising 21 days of battery life which tempts me to upgrade lol. Here is our amazon link if you want to check it out: amzn.to/3B2eVoy But if you wanted to save a few bucks the 7 is still available as well

Glad it was helpful! 😀👍

I usually wear my contacts when I'm out and about, especially if I might need to wear sunglasses, but I usually switch to glasses as soon as I get home. It is just so much more comfortable! And yes, for as long as it takes to walk the Camino, it goes by so dang fast! We're getting close to Sarria and the home stretch!

I don't have a spreadsheet for that, but it shouldn't be too hard to figure out. Once you find the cruise you want, say from Miami to Barcelona, then you just have to search for cruises from Barcelona. Back to back cruises can be fun too, just stay on the same ship, now that it has repositioned it will start doing Mediterranean cruises (or wherever) and depending on how you book it, you might be able to stay in the same room. We did back to back cruises from Barcelona to Miami and then Miami to Santiago over 30 days, it was excellent. If you wanted to get on a different ship, you might have to stay in your port city (Barcelona in this example) for a few days until the ship you want to take departs, but that is still better than flying. The only thing is this technique will rarely get you back to your home port, since the repositioning generally happens all in one direction and then doesn't go back until the end of the season (though there are exceptions!) Does that make sense?

This remains the most...unique Airbnb we ever stayed in. We still enjoyed the stay overall, but it definitely made us laugh!

haha thank you! I think everyone agreed. 😀

Very handsome!

HAHA, I had never thought about that, but if it feels anything similar then I can now say I totally get it. Such relief!! 😆😆😆

It was very random, but fun to stumble across. And yes, we had so many videos we were putting some up on Wednesday, but we won't be able to keep up with that pace for much longer. But maybe a few more lol

Thank you so much, we really appreciate hearing that! ❤

Thanks for watching, we appreciate it! 😀

Welcome! There probably aren't a ton of options between the US and Europe, since it is mostly ocean, but depending on where you are going in Europe you might find a good deal to London/Paris/Madrid/Frankfurt etc and then move on from there. Iceland is likely the best bet, but I wonder if you'd have any luck with North-Eastern Canada or Greenland? I believe if you fly with Icelandair they will give you a free stopover in Iceland of up to a week, but I haven't done the research on that myself. Good luck with the search! 😀

@@tendegreeswarmer thanks so much! Thanks to this video I did discover the Azores via Toronto at 5.5 hours. Years ago we did Montreal for its nonstop to Rome at 8 hours. My husband and I rewatched and because we're old we put it on the huge screen with AppleTV, so you two are now like... any major film star in our minds eyes. Repositioning cruises interest on our honeymoon we took QE2 from Southampton to Miami and that was a great alternative and we usually travel during shoulder season so that was helpful as well. Looking forward to checking out more content and I've shared to some FB groups.

@@enzosf There are direct flights from Toronto to the Azores? That is very interesting, I will have to file that information away for possible later use. lol. And I would assume there are relatively cheap flights from there to Portugal, and who wouldn't want to spend some more time in Portugal? 🙂 Thank you for the kind comments, we are very glad you are finding this hack useful for your own travels. There are so many ways to make our travels more fun, interesting, and still be affordable!

We love O'Sheehan's! So much nicer than the buffet, and like you said, much better hours. 👍

On this channel we definitely do our best to avoid winter as much as possible! lol You will love to Algarve!

That's one way to do it! 😀

Thank you so much, we're so glad you are enjoying the videos! Our plan was to talk about the things we wondered about before we started walking. Very happy you found it to be helpful. And yes, we have more videos coming to complete the series. So much to talk about! 😀

Thanks, I hope you enjoy them! ❤

I wish we were better at it too. Anytime we've asked people always want one too.

It was totally worth the splurge!! 😀

We always loved walking so rarely would stop places unless we needed to. Next time we might take more unnecessary rest breaks just to enjoy the things along the way. 😀

Thanks so much! Our cruise videos remain very popular which I think confuses the TH-cam algorithm of who to show our videos to. But hopefully more Pilgrims will find them eventually! And yes the fountain man was a favorite for sure 😀

Gotta love Gaudi! 😀

Kindred spirits! 👍

We keep hearing that, thanks for sharing. So glad we took the river route!

It depends on the line and which country you are looking from, but yes we support all inclusive pricing instead of breaking everything into pieces to make it appear cheaper than it is. Hope you love your cruises, they can (sometimes) be a very affordable way to travel! 😀

It was our favorite! I wonder what things used to look like when it was built?

I don't remember how often they run, I know the train we took was pretty well timed for our overnight train, maybe we had to wait an hour or so. But check out Trainline, they have the schedules of all the trains, it is in English, and if you book through them you can use a non-EU credit card to pay so it is pretty simple.

@@tendegreeswarmer Thank you so much!!

This was definitely a beautiful day walking, though those blue flowers were somewhere in Galicia as Robb filmed all of his segments later on in the walk (so he would be speaking from experience). We passed so many great flowers all along the Way, June/July is a great time of year for that.

It was a great time of year for flowers. They are everywhere, on the whole route, especially the poppies. So many different kinds of every color, which change as we go along. It's great!

Thanks so much, and yes, we try to use this little trick all the time as we travel! 😀

Thanks for the kind comment. And yes, this is my plan, to go back and do the Frances again and pick up those missed miles. I'm interested in the other routes as well, but I really enjoyed the camaraderie of the Frances. It never seemed too crowded to me but instead just seemed full of opportunities to meet other awesome people!

Thank you for the comment, it is appreciated. I love that sentiment too, sometimes as travelers we get so focused on the journey that we miss the forest for the trees. Onwards and upwards! 😀

Preparation really helps. We had some angst in the moment, even though we knew we were doing the right thing, because we just didn't plan for it.

@@tendegreeswarmer though multiple days of brutal blisters isn't something you'd really want to plan for?

@@ExploreTayo Plan for the worst, hope for the best!

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! We do have several videos on Repositioning Cruises. They are also a great way to replace those long haul flights with something more comfortable and fun.
