Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

Welcome to the forum Steve. There is a hotel near the station in Bayonne that is supposed to be very reasonable,a good nights sleep there would be important especialy if you are walking the next day from St Jean IMO. I cannot find the name of the hotel but I think mspath will know when she is online, she always has excellent information.
Buen Camino.

Hello Sami!
You seem to be much younger than I am, so you will reach me. I'm starting 24/8 from SJPP. Tomorrow from Helsinki-Oslo-Bilbao. Please, say buen camino to me on the way. Old and not so healthy at all.... Buen camino!
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
The first train (may be actually an alternative bus) leaves at 07:45. So, being lodged near the "gare" or terminal makes a lot of sense.
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

Hi Sami,
How much is the Hotel de Gare? Tried a few cheap places on expedia but you cant check in late.

Steve
Hi, Steve!
Have you tried Monte Carlo? It's really across the street from train station in Bayonne. They have restaurant and some kebab etc. are nextdoor... Market is 100mts away. I don' remember how much I have paid in 2011, but it was a bargain for location and comfort. SNCF was on strike that day ;)

Ultreia!

Hi Steve,

de Gare was 55€ when i booked. Locatio in not so good than Monte Carlo, from hotel to train satation is 300m...

Sami
 
Thanks, I'll try the Monecarlo as a few folk have recommended it. The 300m walk to the station from de Gare isn't much in the overall scheme of things
