Lisbon to Santiago commencing 2nd April

[FrankWall]

Hi all,
A quick introduction as our trip to Portugal and beyond starts in a couple of weeks.

We, Sue and Frank, live in Portarlington, Victoria, Australia. We have done a bit of multi day wilderness walking, mainly in Tasmania. This will be our first trip to Portugal and Spain, and (obviously) our first Camino!

Thanks to everyone for contributing to this forum, it is an excellent resource. We have learnt a heap.

We have allowed over 5 weeks for our trip. We want to enjoy a few rest days and not have to stick to a tight schedule. Hopefully it will all work out!

Looking forward to meeting a few of you along the Way

Frank.

Hello Sue and Frank:

Based on this Forum there will be at least six folks out of Lisbon from 3/28-ish on. Always reassuring knowing there will be folks around. Bom Caminho! I begin on the 29th...at least that is the plan.

Excellent!

Sue wants to know if you are packed yet? She’s not quite there.......

Any tips? (We have another three weeks or so in Spain and Turkey after the Camino before we head home )

We are packing this weekend. Should be light packs at 6kgs plus a litre of water.
Don't rush the walk, each day is a journey in itself.
Last time after our Camino we rented a car from SDC and visited Salamanca, Avila, Segovia, Cuenca & Toledo
