    Confused over date format

    "**it happens" and I hope you had a great meal on the segundo dia. Thank God in Portugal, Sunday says something about our Lord and Monday is Segunda Feira or we would all be lost about calendar days.

    If there are too many pilgrims, what is a pilgrim to do?

    The final year that I truly enjoyed the Camino experience was in 2017. I was still living in Biarritz at the time and hopscotched from one Camino to another for 90 days, I also volunteered for several weeks at San Anton. I think avoiding the bottlenecks and traffic takes some previous experience...

    Confused over date format

    Safety in numbers, just do your bookings for 6/6, 7/7, 8/8....no worries.

    You won’t regret going to Albergue Bruno in Moratinos

    A stop at the Bodega in the middle of Moratinos is definitely worth the time.

    Free Airport Shuttle from Booking.com, is it real?

    I have noticed this offer and other "freebies" have been popping up recently on every reservation I have booked with them. I suspect it is promotional gimmick they beta testing. I hope it works out for you.

    Cycling SJPP to Roncesvales

    I ended up pushing the entire trek up to Alto de Perdon. There were too many pedestrians to try to pedal around them.

    Cycling SJPP to Roncesvales

    I don't believe there are any "rules" limiting your use of a bike on the Napoleon. That being said, I would only do it with a very sturdy mountain bike, there are several spots that would require some experience handling rough terrain and the downhill to Roncesvalles could be done on the roadway...

    Lost and found

    It happens. I zipped off the lower portion of my hiking pants at a stop for coffee one morning, then walked away without them. An hour or so later someone passed me and asked if I realized what I had done. They did me no favor by leaving them right where I had left them.

    From CDG to SJPP

    There are many existing threads on this Forum regarding this subject. It all depends on what time you arrive at CDG, then consult the train schedules.

    Temperature in albergues

    Don't forget that you will also have to deal with those who want the windows open and those who want the windows closed, no matter what the temperature is inside or outside.

    Advice on starting in Roncesvalles

    Pamplona is closer and perhaps easier, just a bus or taxi ride away. To get there from BIQ depends on your tolerance to the various modes of transportation that are available.

    Sim card for Via Podiensis

    Orange is probably preferable, they have a shop in Le Puy.
