Hi all,
After doing a week of the Camino a number of years ago I am finally in a position to do the Camino Frances route in September and was hoping for some advice.
I have my flight to Biarritz and transfer from the airport to St Jean Pied de Port sorted. I also booked accommodation for St Jean, Roncesvallies, Zubiri and Pamplona as I heard this is where a bottleneck of pilgrims may occur.
After that I'm hoping to just wing it and let the Camino provide or else keep a rolling 3-5 day booking system depending on how things develop.
Is what I have done pretty much all I need to do? I plan to continue reading the forum for packing tips over the next while and I also plan on spending the next few months learning Spanish, training and eventually showing up to St Jean Pied de Port with my pilgrim passport and ready to walk. I'm also hoping to read some guide books to ensure I don't miss on any sights along the way.
Just nervous about it all and wondered if any experienced pilgrim could spot any major flaws in my plan or anything I'm missing and one question I had was regarding the return flight. I cannot predict exactly how many days it will take yet so not sure how to handle this?
Thanks.
