I'm posting this here as I think it would be the Frances folks who have done the Norte who can shed some light on this for me. My flight is booked...leaving the US for the Frances on March 26th, with a start walking day of the 28th. I feel VERY comfortable on the Frances, I love meeting people stopping and eating and soaking in all of the history and architecture that the Frances has to offer (I did it last year).
I have shared previously that I also plan on taking three of my oldest children (teens) from Le Puy to Muxia in the fall of 2014. SO that would be three Frances in about 26 months.
Today I got wind of some Norte pictures. I'm a salty dog at heart and harbors bring me more peace than most things. Makes me wonder if the Norte is calling my name for my solo Camino? Today one second I am thinking , "yes, this is it...the Norte!"...then the next the pendullum swings and I feel like the Frances will be soft wonderful place for me to land.
Advice anyone? I'm not afraid of being by myself BUT I sure do love socializing however I don't want that to determine my choice...
My hesitations are I know the Frances is a "slam dunk" for me so the thought of stepping off of it alone needs a little encouraging.
Also I did the Camino in trail shoes not boots...loved that!
Wondering if the Norte would allow such foot wear.
Thanks in advance,
Neve
