[@nataschajudson7509]

Thank you for this excellent video. I prayed and kept walking quickly when I passed some unfriendly farm dogs on the Camino Frances. Thankfully I wasn’t bitten.

[@caminotellers]

Sorry to hear about that unpleasant situation! We always have a walking sticks with us, as the last option when dealing with dogs, it seems that they are more afraid when they see us walking with poles. Thanks for sharing 🥰🙏

[@Kathysart]

I actually think your channel on the Camino is the only one I need. I’ve watched sooo many different KZbins about it, but you two cover everything. I was worried about doing this alone as a woman but feel better about that now. Thank you! 🍃🌸🍃

[@pirenet]

The theft thing is true. I was on the Norte at a great Albergue and forgot to take my wallet out of my pack before having breakfast. I came back after 10 mins and found it was gone (along with 80e). searched pack and found wallet not all money taken. So learned a couple of lessons. Don't be complacent and I considered it a camino gift as someone needed the money. If it happens don't stress about it.

[@caminotellers]

Nice consideration ❤️

[@professorjulimarlopes43]

Loved your tips friend. Thanks for posting. Greetings from Brazil.

Thank you! I would like to do a part of the Camino Frances, but I am currently unable to walk long distances. Biking could be an option. It seems from your video that they do partly run different routes, is that so? Do you know where I can find more information? Thank you!

[@caminotellers]

There are plenty of options for bike rental(camino bike), if you type it in Google! Choose one that suits your needs, maybe from Tui or Sarria(it’s more hilly) and enjoy the ride!

[@zazhou]

@@caminotellers hi, I am also wanting to do the Camino and have a weak ankle from an old sports injury. You answered about the biking options. However I am looking at using a small off-road electric scooter. Would that be possible and feasible?

[@roselisandmarcelocs5345]

Good morning Camino Tellers. First things first 😊 congratulations on your journey on your camino and your channel. Missing the daily videos, it was part of our daily routine here at the other side of the 🌎. We hope that you are doing fine. We have a question and hope you guys can help. Since we are flying from USA we are taking more than our backpacks. Flying USA to Madri to Pamplona and the idea is to use Correos seevice in Pamplona to ship the second luggage to Santiago for storage and pickup after we are done in approximately 40 days walking. Do you know about this correios service? We heard that in SJPP, they have a similar service but as far as I could research is super expensive (2 times more expensive). Thank you Roselis and Marcelo

[@caminotellers]

Hello guys, just answered your question on our last live, make sure you watch it as it has valuable tips for you guys ❤️

[@roselisandmarcelocs5345]

Thank you so much. We definitely will watch it. Sorry we missed the live because of the different hour here. Hope you guys have fun

[@claudelambert9916]

#4 getting lost can also be funny because you get a chance to laugh at yourself when you find your way back ,, ha ,, mistakes are okay because you learn to pay attention next time.

[@caminotellers]

Aha! And sometimes you have to get lost to realize that … you lost! Ahhaha

[@anacasanova7350]

En el Camino es muy raro delitos graves. Muchos peregrinos repiten muchas veces el camino por diferentes rutas o etapas. Los perros sueltos están vacunados, tienen dueño en España y la Rabia está erradicada en el país hace muchos años. Lo peligroso es encontrarse con un toro bravo.😂🐂⚠️

[@caminotellers]

Cuantas veces hemos visto a un peregrino perdido por las calles de Pamplona durante los fermines :) cuidado con los toros!

[@anacasanova7350]

Jajaja, sobre todo en las zonas de toros bravos, Salamanca, Madrid, Andalucia 😂😂❤
