[QUOTE="GettingThere, post: 323087, member: 31353"] Hi Susan - do you know if your agent is open to arranging shorter stages for you? There are accommodation options available at shorter distances, which would allow you to ease into the walk. 22km on your first two days would be too much for a lot of people. Of course there's absolutely nothing wrong with using taxis like this (as long as you realise that you would not be eligible for a Compostela at Santiago if you didn't walk all of the last 100km), but it seems a shame to [I]have[/I] to do that if you're wanting to walk and have trained for it but just can't manage such long days. My mother and I recently completed our camino and due to injury and other issues were unable to walk long distances each day. We found accommodation in between the stages recommended in guide books and just took longer - there are many options for different types of accommodation whether you want to stay in albergues or prefer pensions or small hotels. You may not be able to spend more time on the Camino (in which case ignore all this!), but if you have some flexibility I would recommend asking your agent if they can adjust things for you so you don't feel you have to push yourself too much at the start. Whatever you decide, I know you'll have a wonderful time - buen camino! [/QUOTE]
