Anyone have any experience blogging while traveling in Europe? I'm planning to do the Camino pilgrimage in France/Spain starting next month, and I'd like to do a running blog w/pictures from my digital camera. Any info/insights would be appreciated - thanks!

I'm not sure what you're looking for but I plan on blogging every day with pictures when I go to Europe for 6 weeks this summer :) I've set up a blog at Blogger and I made it private by invite only for safety (figure it's not the best idea for the entire world to know exactly where I am every single day). For photos, I am going to use Yahoo! Photos because it's easy to work (can sort into albums, etc.) and the photos are UNLIMITED (very rare to find unlimited photo storing online).
Hope this helps a bit. Happy Blogging!

Thanks, I'll check those sites out. I'm hoping to post both text and pictures to one site. Some friends of mine are using letterpop.com to send out newsletters of their trip to New Zealand - I may go that route as well...

Hi Erik,
I just looked around in Blogger, and it appears you can add your own pictures right in there. In the place where you type your post there are controls and you can click a little button that looks like a landscape/picture and upload one that way, it says I have a maximum storage of 1024MB, so that might solve your problem with wanting everything in the same place. :)

I'm replying just because there's another Erik here. :)
I blog regularly - I have my own website at www.arizonaguy.com and I mirror the blog portion on my www.myspace.com/arizonaguy blog.
I just wanted to say that if you plan on using internet cafes, you should have little problem blogging. Adding photos is merely an issue of the computer having a card reader, or a USB port and you having the appropriate USB card reader.
To Debra: I hope you aren't serious about blogging every day! Using net cafes on a daily basis is expensive. Even if you have your own laptop / PDA and use free WiFi like I and many others do, don't spend so much time blogging when on holiday! You might miss out on fun!

Another fun place to do a travel blog is at http://www.travellerspoint.com/ You can do the same things as Blogger and it maps your route as you go. It's an interesting reference spot for your travels, too!
