Hello to everybody on this forum and anyone that would be kind enough to help a 1st time pilgrim!
I must say that I love this forum. I've been preparing for the last 6 months for the Camino and as time of my pilgrimage is coming closer, I decided to register here and ask some final questions on which I could not find an answer while browsing through all the available info.
I start walking from St.Jean Pied de Port, and I came across a problem...for which I hope it isn't really a problem
the thing is that I will be traveling all together for two days to get to my starting point and I cant get to St.Jean before 22.00, as my train schedule is quite set.
Now I'm worrying that I won't be able to sleep anywhere! most of the albergues open in late march or april, I'll be there on 18th of March and I really have problems finding a place to stay... :shock:
If anyone could share with me any contacts of open albergues that would let me in after 10pm on Sunday, I would be really grateful as I know I'll be exhausted and in a need of a good sleep before I start walking the next morning.
Also, I don't really have a plan for walking, as I find a lot of information on the web-although very helpful- very confusing too. It seems that everyone has it's own plan of what one wants to see, but I could not find a schedule for 30 days anywhere. Mostly people walk more or less, or start on a different place than I, so I would be really grateful if someone would maybe share with me the plan to walk from St.Jean Pied de Port to Santiago in 29 or 30 days. It can be 28 too... I was thinking of walking 25km per day, but I don't want to miss the best cities, albergues or other sightseeings just because I couldn't find all the info...
Anyone? Please?
Thank you for the advice!
