Hi Jennifer,
I am so happy for you, I bought my flight tickets 2 weeks ago. The camino feels more real now and exciting.
I wish you luck, I leave Ottawa on the 23 of April. I am taking it easy, spending 40 days to walk the camino since I am a slow walker.
Buen Camino

Rupe, I arrive early the 4th then take the train to Bayonne and taxi the same day to SJPdP. I hope to use the train time to sleep. Also I might do a short day to Orisson on the 5th if necessary.

Hi Jennifer! As an alternative to taking a taxi for your last leg, I know that there are several trains per day which travel from Bayonne to St Jean Pied de Port. The cost is around 10 Euros and the travel time is 1 hour. Here is the site: http://www.voyages-sncf.com/billet-train
It'll save you 'mucho dinesros' - ha!
Buen Camino!

Thanks. I'll definitely see if I can time it right. I don't want to stay overnight in Bayonne so whatever works for the least cost!

A short day to Orisson is a good idea, however, don't forget to book if you want to stay there. It is a great place to stay and get to know other pilgrims at the shared meal in the evening.

Can you tell me..do most fly to CDG or can you fly closer to SJPDP?

You can take plane from Paris to Biarritz which is close to SJPdP. Air France flies from Paris/Orly and EasyJet from Paris/CdG. See www.Rome2Rio.com for more info.

Bon voyage and Buen camino!
