Starting from Roncesvalles on July 6!

Time of past OR future Camino
Via Podiensis and Camino Frances 2023
Hi everyone! šŸ‘‹
My boyfriend and I will be arriving in Roncesvalles on 5 July and will start walking on 6 July. We would have started in SJPP of course but would need to get another COVID test to get into France and back into Spain since it hasnā€™t been 2 weeks since our 2nd vaccine dose.

This is our 3rd Camino and 2nd time doing the Frances. Super excited to meet people and shake of the dust!

Iā€™m excited for you! I had an amazing time on the Camino today. I walked Refuge Orisson to Viscarret after busing from Pamplona to SJPDP and will just say that there were zero checks at any point in crossing between the two countries. That being said, your decision is entirely sensible.

One anecdote from today which Iā€™ll just tack on because itā€™s not worthy of its own thread. I stopped in a bar which didnā€™t have a printed menu and explained to the bartender that ā€œSoy vegetarianoā€. He paused for a moment and asked ā€œEnglish or FranƧais?ā€ šŸ˜… I guess itā€™s ā€œNo como la carneā€ from now on.

As my middle name is Josiah , I thought I'd say " Hi!", there not being too many of us , to the best of my knowledge :) ~That's as far as it goes tho good buddy, as I am a dyed in the wool carnivore! Notwithstanding, have a great camino !

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

Thanks for the info! I so want to start in SJPP! Maybe I can convince my guy to chance it šŸ˜‰

We had some friends on the last Camino that didnā€™t eat meat, and the clarified this over and over with a waiter who them brought them a big plate of jamĆ³n. Then he smacked himself in the head and said, ā€œjamĆ³n- also a meat!ā€
Buen camino! We will probably see you!!
