    @willydp what horrible news to get so close to departure. Wishing you a speedy recovery and hoping you can do your camino soon. Get better soon!

    Buen Camino Chris! :)

    Bayonne, Sjpp, Or Orisson

    I guess it depends how well you adjust to jet lag and if you need some recovery time before you set off. I will be arriving in Biarritz and will take a day to rest/explore. I flew all that distance and I want to see that part of the country. I will then cab it to Gare Bayonne and take the train...

    Backpack Etiquette

    I guess what I would consider common sense (such as turning off your electronics or putting them on vibrate) are not always apparent. I expect I will be tested a few times, but heck I'm not perfect so I'm sure I'll annoy somebody with my sunny morning disposition. lol

    Backpack Etiquette

    Thank you for asking this question @Janbrovold . I, too, was wondering what to do with my backpack once I head to the shower. I'm sure it will all fall into place. The suggestion of taking your valuables with you to the shower makes sense and I hear consistently not to lay your backpack on the...

    Camino Frances May 2017 will it be a race for a bed?

    See you out on the road! Starting my first camino on May 1st, staying in Orisson and it seems I'm already meeting some of my Camino family! This is so exciting!

    I guess I will find out just how Thanks @Kanga! That's what I thought, maybe they are full for that date.

    Splitting the First Day

    I don't know their reason, but I emailed refuge.orisson@wanadoo.fr and they got back to me quickly. I requested a reservation on November 22nd for evening of May 1st and received confirmation of payment on November 27th. They might not be open on April 7th. Not sure when the Napoleon Route opens.

    Splitting the First Day

    I am a rookie, but through my research (and of course depending on your route Valcarlos vs. Napoleon), I would suggest booking your first night. If you are taking the Napoleon Route (Orisson). It's approximately 8 km up hill. I am traveling May 1st onwards and have my reservation but taking...

    Splitting the First Day

    Excited as I have received confirmation of my reservation in Orrison. Can't wait! Looking for recent recommendations for staying in St. Jean Pied du Port. The proprietor of Orrison has recommended his sister's place in SJPP called Villa Harriet. Has anyone stayed there and would you recommend...
