Thank you all for the comments.
Mike I did not pack any RMK. Reasons: weight and I did not want it to go missing on our airplane travels. I had a Swiss Army knife and a leather man. We carried what we thought was the absolute minimum.
Duke. This was Denyse’s 4th Camino and my second. We were not together every minute of the each day. I might go off and explore or take a more bike friendly route for a few Kms. When you have to start carrying your bike and panniers because of steps, ankle deep sand, hills too steep, elevators that don’t work or you can’t fit your bike into, etc., you try to save as much energy as possible. But we spent every night and ever meal together.
Denyse has a meniscus problem (likely a tear) so I was never too far from her, just in case.
