Hi Jennie, that's awesome news!! I'm looking forward to meeting you and your sister! Did you manage to get your booking at Orisson? I have my reservation but will play it by ear if I will be staying or moving on to Roncesvalles but it's comforting to know that I have the option to stay should...
Thank you Monk Moses and Margaret! This is my first Camino so I am unsure of what to do or what to expect. But I guess I will learn very quickly when I get there, just like every other pilgrim! Learn as I go! :)
Buen Camino!!
Awwww hence the bus that leaves Orisson to bring people back to SJPDP for the night. So I guess you are right then in saying my decision has already been made. I either book a second night in SJPDP or continue on to Roncesvalles. Am I able to book a reservation in Roncesvalles?
Thanks for that info Gerard! The total kms from SJPDP to Roncesvalles is 27.5kms. It's 7.6kms from SJPDP to Orisson. So that will take a little over two hours. So, say I left SJPDP at 6:30 then I'll arrive at Orisson approximately 9am. There is still a full day ahead!! But the distance...

I'm wondering about the first day up the Pyrenees Mountains. My intent is to leave SJPDP and walk right to Roncesvalles but I'm wondering if that might be to much for the first day. I see that some have booked in at Orisson for the first night of the trek. I'm wondering if I should be doing...
Yes we will have to do that! I'm pretty sure I put in the 11th on the calendar but when I book the flights I did suggest that it would be the 11th or 12th depending on the jetlag.
Hi, yes, my dates are confirmed to fly into Biarritz via Dublin on the 10th then a train from Biarritz to SJPDP and hopefully leaving on the 11th if not too jet lagged. :)
HI! I am leaving from St. John's, NL Canada on September 9th (evening) and should arrive in SJPDP (via Dublin/Biarritz) on the 10th. My friend and I should be scheduled to leave SJPDP on the morning of the 11th. I just put it in the Events Calendar. You might like to keep an eye on that to...
