A few more questions....

[zee]

Since my start is Cebreiro, I was wondering where or who issues the passport there, the church? or the albergue? I was also wondering if I could have access to the albergue the night I arrive, (as I would like to start early the next day) or if I wont be allowed to, since it will be my starting location.

Also, does anyone know if the albergues have plenty of outlets to recharge a cell phone? and if so, do people just leave them there without problems? I'm kind of worried about leaving an iphone just charging....

Thanks Again everyone!

You should be able to get your Pilgrim Passport at the main albergue at the top of Cebreiro. The albergue is reasonably new and large, but for the past few years they seem to have a problem in the kitchen. They have a very large kitchen/dining room with two ceramic hobs for cooking, but no pots, pans, plates or cutlery, so all in all, the kitchen is not much use to pilgrims. Also, there is no food shop there to buy anything from anyway.

They have sockets for charging phones and batteries, but I would keep your eye on your iphone whilst it is charging. I have a Nokia E72 smart phone with all the wizzy features, but when I go on the Camino, I take my trusty Nokia 6310i which is probably the most reliable mobile ever made. No camera or any of them thar wizzy bits, just a phone which I switch on every couple of days to pick up text messages from my son's. Because my 6310i has no cameras or sat-nav or 3G etc, nobody would bother to take it!
