    Very diplomatic Camigo. Surprised there was no mention of what is an appropriate level of clothing to wear in the dorm.

      Hahaha. You know too much!! That’s the guy on the video (just with shorts on).
      Wishing I had filmed a bit of us drinking my last beer or even the magnificent 🍅 event. 😂
      Hope you are both well 😊

      @@NickLivingLife The plan is to start my Camino late May 2024, but that to far away, honestly I can’t wait that long , looking into at least do 10 days in Late April 2023 or 25 days in July (to hot for my liking) I don’t want to rush but I don’t want to wait either. If I do it in April then I’ll leave from Porto and do the portugués way do to the logistics and time.

    So if there aren't private bathrooms and you aren't supposed to clip your toenails on the bed where do you clip them?

    • @NickLivingLife
      @NickLivingLife  Рік тому +2

      Hi Lori, mine don’t grow fast enough to need to clip them during a Camino, but I treat myself to one or two private rooms over the course of a Camino so there is an option there. 😊
      I’ve heard some people clipping in a toilet cubicle which is a lot better then them flying like bullets across all the beds 😂😂

    Hi Nick. Just wanted to pick your brains about charging my iPhone and Apple Watch (which I didn’t have when I walked the Camino in 2014!). I will get an EU fast charger, but was concerned about leaving items on charge unattended, when in the shower for example. What did you do? Thanks

    • @NickLivingLife
      @NickLivingLife  Рік тому

      I’m fairly trusting if I am in an albergue with just pilgrims (not young Spanish people getting acccomodation for a night out like I’m experiencing tonight in Leon).
      I have a Nitecore NB10,000 lightweight powerbank with a sticker on to identify it as mine, so if I’m worried I can just leave that on charge unattended and use that to charge my phone and Apple Watch. In a safe albergue though, I’ll actually ask a pilgrim to keep an eye on the phone for me 😊

    Don’t wash your clothes in the shower! This is what leads to hot water running out for other pilgrims. Wash them in the laundry sink designed for that.

    • @NickLivingLife
      @NickLivingLife  Рік тому +2

      Don’t worry Carol. This is when albergues do not have laundry sinks (not all of them do) and if I do wash them in the shower, I’m wearing the clothes at the same time so it’s exactly the same amount of water as if I was having a shower naked. 😊
      Otherwise I’ll use just enough water to use my Scrubba bag. Either way, I’m using less water than if I used the laundry sink anyway. We can’t be selfish pilgrims. 😊
