Travel from Paris to St Jean Pied de Port
I'm arriving by plane into Paris from New Zealand (makes it sound easy haha!) From Paris I'm flying to Biarritz and staying a night in Bayonne. I don't want my first week camino bookings being stuffed up so I'm glad I've got that extra night in Bayonne as insurance. I'm transiting Dubai and...- SarahTheKiwi

Maybe a rude question! How old are you?
I will fit into a different age category in six months' time, so I'm taking advantage by voting promptly!- SarahTheKiwi

Solo Female Traveller?
I'm in a similar situation to you - solo woman starting at SJPDP on 25 April. I've had the usual questions - who are you going with? Is it safe, being made to feel like I have to justify my decision. I've done a lot of research and feel I will be safe. I guess we have to remember that there...- SarahTheKiwi

Greetings all - planning for April 2024
Great to catch up again. I'm now locked in for 25 April start from St Jean PDP with a booking at Borda. I've also got a jetlag day at Bayonne and overnighting at St Jean on night of 24 April. I just don't know how tired I will be (I'm in my 50th year and haven't done an OE in ages!) or...- SarahTheKiwi

We come from a land down under
I am very similar to you. Keen to avoid any sorts of "bed races" and bottlenecks. I've managed to get accom at Borda now (yay!). One reason for this is to over-skip Roncesvalles. For some reason it doesn't appeal. I'll maybe attend their service later in the evening, but stay down the road...- SarahTheKiwi

Thanks @davejsy. Your comments pretty much match the comments I've read online. Borda is not available for booking yet.... so I'm going to try and get a booking there when it comes up, instead.- SarahTheKiwi

Note to first timers re. accommodations
Orisson is available for booking now, for April 2024. I've booked a place because I know I definitely don't want to do the full "first day". Just don't want to leave that bit to chance. I will "wing it" after Pamplona however, and thanks for the reminder about crossing a big city during a...- SarahTheKiwi

Welcome to the forum! Wow it sounds like you have it all planned out (maybe I need to get my A into G with some more research!) as going in April too from SJPDP to SdC. I can confirm the Orrison is available now for bookings in April, so best get in ASAP. I have booked but I have also heard...- SarahTheKiwi

Sarah from New Zealand -What drew you to the Camino?
I would love it if we had a NZ interest group! Would be great to meet people who have experienced The Walk(s) before. @LifeatNo22 glad the Duolingo proved helpful! I think shopping at the supermercado is a good idea and intend to do the same. Also hope to come across some nice bakeries...- SarahTheKiwi

Sarah from New Zealand -What drew you to the Camino?
Hi everyone! It has been a while since I logged in! Life has taken over. I've been to the travel agent to make bookings but apparently I'm a bit early for booking the return flight (June 2024). I've looked at backpacks in the meantime, and met a mum working in one shop and her son working in...- SarahTheKiwi

Greetings all - planning for April 2024
Hey Joe - very similar here - aiming to be very minimalist. A bit scared of what that will feel like! Yesterday I visited the travel agent - everything is feeling a bit more real now! It's a bit of an undertaking organising flights from NZ.- SarahTheKiwi

Greetings all - planning for April 2024
Hi Joe and welcome. I have just joined as well, also intending walking April onwards to Santiago, but also Muxia if I get time. I've plotted out all the local Spanish holidays/festivities in order work around them (just me, some people want to see festivities etc but I want to avoid crowds)...- SarahTheKiwi

Sarah from New Zealand -What drew you to the Camino?
Thanks for the really helpful info Anamiri. Sounds like you've done a lot of travel! It's been a while for me. I'm wondering if I might get sent through London, then Barritz, France. I'm a fan of Emirates (and possibly their 12 hour free hotel stopover in Dubai). I have an appointment with...- SarahTheKiwi

New To The Forum
Welcome! I'm a relative newbie here too. Camino Frances in May 2024. I've been watching videos on YouTube. I've seen various types of pilgrims - from 100% albergue stays and carrying your own gear, to 100% boutique accommodation with bag transfer service and luxury food. Some people skip...- SarahTheKiwi
