    Just Another Packing List

    May I suggest some benedryl tablets? In 2012 I had an allegic reaction to something used on an apple on the Camino. Whelps, lips swollen, etc. the benedryl sure came in handy. Not to mention possible bee sting.

    SJPP to Orisson - how long ?

    Orrison did not seem long and we were actually surprised to be there so soon. We were on adrenaline and talking.

    Language Barrier

    I walked in Sept 2012, I speak very little Spanish. I didnt have much of a problem with it. If a bar didnt speak English, i pointed to the food I wanted. You will pick up some Spanish as you go.

    Croc shower sandals and other ways to cut weight

    I have an inexpensive pair of slip on sandles made exclusively of a light foam rubber. This post brings to mind an incident that happened to a friend of mine when we were walking CF in Sept 2012. He had a pair of flip-flops and as he was coming out of the shower in the buff, he slipped with his...

    September 2014 Peregrinos

    Another solution DF, is move the trip to start with me on Aug 31. However, there may be some rule to not let two SEC boys on the camino together, since There would be a vino shortage for sure! Lol

    How to get to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port?

    Oh Dead one, could you PM me your figures. I am taking the flight to Madrid, train to Pamplona and bus to SJPP? The only difference, is I'm spending two nights in SJPP before I start. Thanks! Buen Camino "Snake"
