My husband is going to bike from SJPP to Santiago de Compostela and will arrive at Biarritz airport tomorrow morning (Thursday 9 October) around 10 am. Anyone who is arriving at approx the some time and has already booked a minibus or who wish to share a ride to SJPP?
According to some statistic I saw September was the busiest month of the camino last year, so be prepared for it to be busy. I walked 10 days in September (SJPP to Burgos) and was a little bit chocked by how crowded it was even though I did not stop at the Brierly stages.
Will continue my...
As I am posting this I am on my way to the airport, eager to start my Camino. Once on the plane I will start a digital detox and keep out of the net for my 10 day Camino. It is going to be interesting to see how big the urge will be to see if anything has 'happened' on various forums etc. The...
Thanks all for your replies. On my way to airport now with my ONE book which turned out to be Siddhartha by Herman Hesse. Now it remains to be seen if it will be read during or after the Camino...
Great Nancy. Looking forward to seeing you and hear about how you got to become a Camino guide.
Thank you Alex! Tomorrow morning I leave my family and take off and on Sunday lunch I start to walk up towards Orisson. I must say I am totally thrilled. Funny how the Camino keeps dragging me back...
That sounds lovely Nancy! Will you be staying there during the night? I will probably start out from SJPP after lunch and aim to be in Orisson around 4 pm.
I think Lettingo is giving you great advice. Start in SJPP, go with the flow and be in the now. Within a week or so you will feel what you want to do. Most probably you will change your mind if you start making plans for it now. Just start and see what comes to you. Buen Camino!
Ah, how great it was to look through the old Camino photos again. Now I can't wait until this Sunday when I start walk up that hill south of SJPP :). Hopefully I will get as far as this during my 10 day Camino. It would be lovely to see the same place this time of year. If I do I will definitely...
Oh, how wonderful! I have exactly the same motive in my album but with a flower in focus. Also the fields are not green anymore but yellow (mid July). It is a great shot and I tried to publish it but it was to large to load :-( Anyone knows how to reduce size in iPhoto?
On Sunday morning I arrive in SJPP and have booked to stay at Orisson the first night. I am so thrilled and can hardly think about anything else. My husband says that he has hardly seen me this focused before, except from when I conceived our twin daughters six years ago... ;-) I have packed...
Thanks for all of your responses and suggestions. One book it will be, not sure which one yet. Probably it depends on what I can find in paperback in the store (and how heavy it is). I have packed super light so I think a book will be a nice splurge, if not for the camino then for the airplanes...
Hi and good luck from a fellow Viking who are also walking the road less travelled in life :-) Walking the Camino the more easy way might give you lots of time and freedom to explore other things than you normally do. When do you plan to start walking? We might meet on the way - heading for SJPP...
