Just reporting back to say that I completed my first Camino on 5 April after starting in SJPdP on 2 March, with 3 rest days along the way. Met Suz on the way after first meeting her on this forum, we shared quite a few dinners with some others we met at various places. There was some interesting...
As others have already said, don't worry. My train from Bayonne to SJPP was cancelled due to strike action on 2 March. There were some others there in the same predicament. We managed to negotiate a good price for a taxi, €17.50 each for 4 of us. I'm now in Hospital de Óbrigo and loving...

Hi, I'm planning to start my first camino in early May 2018, from SJPP. I've been thinking about this for a number of years and decided that now is the time to take the plunge. Having retired a few years ago, I don't have time constraints to worry about so hopefully I'll be able to complete the...
