      pkonopka reacted to Becky 59's post in the thread LIVE from the Camino Current big wave at beginning of Francés with Like Like.
      Zubiri was full early yesterday (by 2:30, according to some pilgrims who came to Pamplona today), but Zubiri opened up a municipal building just past the town for some pilgrims to sleep on the floor! I haven’t seen that done before. We all know...

      pkonopka replied to the thread Traveling from Washington, DC to SJPP.
      Hi, just like the Camino itself there are many routes to get there. For me, like some on this thread, I flew in to Biarritz, and then took Express Bouricott to SJPDP. It’s easy, stress free, and you’ll start to meet fellow pilgrims immediately...

      pkonopka reacted to CWBuff's post in the thread Traveling from Washington, DC to SJPP with Like Like.
      Hello and welcome Seems the most popular options are: Fly to Madrid then make your way to Pamplona and catch the bus to SJPdP next day. Fly to Paris and take a flight to Biarritz then Express Bouricott to SJ or take a train from CdG to Bayonne...

      pkonopka reacted to anoldfireman's post in the thread My own socks test with Like Like.
      Well…… about $400 usd in socks and liners later and about 160 miles. I live in California near the Sierra mountains so we have some good trails and heat- I wanted to find my perfect combination for no blisters. I am an older dude who is on...

      This was my husband. So many thanks to all of my fellow pilgrims who stopped to help and to pray and to translate for me. He was doing what he loved. Thank you for the news article link.

      Thank you for letting me know about Express Bourricotte! I'll visit their website.

      pkonopka replied to the thread Pillow - bring one or is it provided?.
      Two caminos (Frances from SJPDP and Portuguese from Porto) and I've never stayed at a place that didn't provide a pillow. That said, I'd either carry my own pillowcase to use over it, or - what I did- was lay my sleeping bag hood over the top of...

      pkonopka reacted to Chizuru's post in the thread Poles or No Poles? with Like Like.
      Hi Claire, Firstly, no matter what, have a wonderful adventure. In looking over the answers, the ones who are only so-so about using poles are the one-pole users which is probably because they don't get many benefits with only one pole. One pole...

      Tonight I am in Burgos and use them every day. Just managing on rocky surfaces but also when you need to jump over long stretches of water, mud. I would not do without. If worried about transport, get the collapsing hiking poles.
