Enjoying all your videos!

When did you start your Camino? March to April? I am staring my Camino Frances on April 1 2025 and I am getting excited! wondering how cold it will be and if I should pack a down jacket. Also, we reserved our rooms and asked that breakfast be added. Do you recommend breakfast at hotel or Are there little cafes that one will pass?

Hi Micheal, we just completed our very first Camino de Santiago Frances following exactly your 2024 itinerary and mostly stayed at the same hostels as your walk. Just wondering if you can share your accommodations for the Portuguese coastal walk and also any useful maps that we could get to prepare ourselves for the coastal walk next year, as you pointed out that the starting point from Porto lacks the yellow shell marked signs. Thanks

Could not be happier I've found your channel! I will be walking the camino in may/june next year, so it's lovely to see your recent experience. I love your positivity! Cheers from Canada!🍁 (And hopefully going to visit Brisbane soon!!)

You both are amazing! 30 km 👏. I am planning to walk this camino from Porto in spring 2025, but I guess I will be able to do max 20 km . Could you please write the name of hotel in Viana do Castelo? Thank you

The Camino Frances ...." just another hill."😊

Thank you for all the very useful information! Buen Camino!

Love spending my weekend watching your September October 2023 journey. Was curious why you chose to walk so many miles per day instead of breaking it up to shorter times? Look forward to watching all your other journeys and then planning my own.

Go left out of Portomarín next time. I’ve done both and Lynne’s gonna love it. Thanks for sharing. Buen Camino.

We're thinking about doing the route starting in A Guarda, so your videos have been super helpful! What time of year were you there?

Thank you both for sharing this most helpful, in depth, look of the coastal route. Enjoyed all your videos. God Bless ❤

I currently live in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico and was drawn to your channel as I would like to do the Camino de Santiago next year. So surprised to see a video about Coolangatta! I lived there in 1974. It sure has changed. I’m enjoying your videos.

Micheal, You two have a wonderful show. I’m really enjoying it! Do you folks book all your accommodations in advance? Is there a certain app or book you are using for accommodations or is it your experience in traveling the Camino in the past? I’m doing the same trip next August-September Thanks, Randy

thx 4 sharing, did this in April 2019 in the snow,

Just wanted to say thank you for sharing your great journey across spain on the camino,❤

I’m loving your videos - instant follow …wonderful ..I’m hoping to do the camino next year.

I stayed in that hotel! Lovely

Great videos. How heavy are your rucksacks and what is the make and model of each of them, especially Louise’s backpack?

Enjoying watching your videos. I was about 10 days behind you this year. I also walked in 2022.

Name of accommodation please

What was the name of the hotel?

We've enjoyed your videos immensely and found them extremely helpful for our Camino Portugese in two weeks from now. Thank you for taking the time to make and post your videos. Iris & Gord from Canada

Greetings Michael and Lynn. Thank you so much for sharing your Camino experience. My husband and I will be doing the Camino Frances in April and May 2025. Did you use a travel planner to book your rooms. We have no idea of the process and would like your opinion on how best to ensure accommodations. Thank you again for your wonderful channel. Best wishes to the two of you!

Are you sharing where you stayed ? In labrudge ?

Hi Michael and Lynne, although we have been walking Caminos since 2006 we have never conquered the problem of what to cover our packs with or bag them when they are checked luggage. We cable tie the zips ( at least you know if someone has accessed you pack) tighten all our straps as best we can, ensuring no errant straps I still dread the thought collecting our packs minus a strap or two. Do you put your packs in some sort of bag for the flight? I dream of a carry on but it’s difficult with poles.

Hi Michael and Lynne. Thank you for documenting your Camino, I’ve really enjoyed watching all the episodes over the last week or so. I was due to do this myself at about the same time but I’ve had to delay by a year and will start out from SJPDP on 24 April next year. I can’t wait. I do hope the weather will be a little kinder then though. 👍 Thanks, Mark

I leave tonight for Madrid and will begin this 30th to walk from St. Jean. I am greatly encouraged by your success, thank you for sharing the victory.

At about 1:59 there's a sign for Pereje ( which I think Michael misprounces). But that's not why I write. Rather, the defaced sign is just one of MANY examples that you'll see beginning as you near the western border of Castille and Leon and even more frequently after you enter Galicia. I saw this particular one in June 2024, and you'll see it in the August 2019 image on "street view" on Google Maps (in that picture it has been hand-altered to "Perexe," which I imagine is either a Gallego or Leonese spelling). When you get into Galicia, where all signs seem to have been changed into the Gallego language, it's not the language that's being hand-changed, but rather the format in which the language is expressed. For example, in Galicia you'll see the signs with the name of the Miño River (and other words that have a tilde) changed to the Portuguese-style spelling of Minho. I imagine it's some sort of a barely-below-the-surface culture war.

G'Day Michael & Lynne - greetings from Canberra. Just finished watching your vlogs on the Portuguese camino. We are only a fortnight away from our Portuguese camino. What would be a good way to ask you a few questions away from this oublic interaction? Thanks Singh

Thanks for sharing your journey. Perfect for us as we are due to set off on 23rd April next year. What the weather will be like, and what we need to bring clothes wise, is our main area of concern. Although as hardy Poms we're well used to rain and cold!

Michael Matthias, la hermosa tierra que estáis recorriendo ahora se llama Galicia, no Santiago. Santiago de Compostela es la capital de Galicia y ciudad patrimonio de la humanidad.

What is the name of the place you stayed at Mansilla

Congratulations Guys. Thanks for sharing your journey truly enjoyed all your videos. 🏃🏻‍♀️🚶🏼‍♂️🏃🏻‍♀️🚶🏼‍♂️🍷🍺

Thank you both for the videos-really enjoyed them - I think that the Camino Frances will be my next Camino-will May 15th to June 30th or June 1st to July 15th be the best time -I’m for AZ so the heat doesn’t bother me a much as the cold-I’m 75 in 2025

Having had a bad right knee (replaced) going uphill is less stress on knees than going downhill-thank god for hiking poles

Thank you for sharing your journey. You are truly an inspiration. At one point you mentioned the type of poles you are using but I didn’t make a note of it. Appreciate if you would share that. Thanks again

What was the restaurant in Zubiri?

You should have stuck to the litoral. Its flat and all paths . No boardwalks and no sand

Would you happen to have a list of places you stayed at along the way on the Camino Frances? I have some places reserved but really liked the places you stayed at and was hoping to research any that may be in spots we plan to stay over in.

Gracias por tan excelente vidio lleno de buenos consejos de esperencia propia y no una copia de otra gente fantastico usella utrella buen camino

I am one of those you thanked in yesterdays ep. Your welcome. Inlove the quote at the beginning of each ep. Together! My wife & I did the camino frances in September 2021. It truly was a moving experience. Thank YOU for the videos. We are thinking about doing it again or maybe portugese camino. Im not sure if frances for the 2nd time vs portugese from Porto… IDK but again thank you. We are from Boston

Good evening guys. This is Jacques fayolle from Sunshine Coast. I have started watching your videos from your Camino Portuguese. I am intending to walk it next year in May. I look forward to watching how you went and I will be taking Notes. Cheers Jacques

You love GALICIAN people! :)

Hoops, find you again 2024. Bad weather

Hey Michael thank you for posting. David's partner Rod put me onto your posts because I am setting off on the 14th to do Camino Frances myself. Will look forward to following your posts.

We love your blogs.We were inspired by your walks that we walked the Camino in 2023 and have just spent a whole day watching your 2024 blog.❤🙏🏾 You are an inspiration

Hubiera sido un acierto poner subtítulos en Español a los videos,buen camino.

I would just like to thank you for helping me navigate the river route into Burgos today, without your video I would have missed the path along the river, so thank you safe journey home to Australia

It was so touching hearing the bagpipes when you were arriving in Santiago, I cried!! You both have been such an inspiration ! Thank you so much for sharing your pilgrimage with us and May God continue to bless you! 💕
