Hi everyone,
I'm starting my Camino walk on May 14 in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port. Ten more days to go, and I'm getting pretty nervous...
I have the impression that everyone is well-prepared, but me. So far, I just booked the tickets to get there and to return, my backpack (Highpeak Dean 75), a hat, walking shoes from Lidl (Mounty OutdoorWear - don't know if they are good quality, they only costed me € 14,99), 2 walking sticks, some dry camp food and sport socks.
Tomorrow I'm gonna try to buy a good sleeping bag at Decathlon. Think that will put me back for another 50 to 100 euros.
I used to think walking was the cheapest sport there is, now I think differently
Anyway, it's my first camino and also, it's my first holiday alone... Last years when I camped, it was always with some buddies, but now I'm going for it on my own. Hope I will meet some pilgrims to chat with.
Are there other people who will also start around the middle of May in SJPDP? Love to hear from you.
You can always add me on msn: donjohn004@hotmail.com

Buen camino everyone :wink:
