Hello, Buenos dias.
Has anyone completed this route by foot? I am struggling (even after lurking on this forum for awhile) to find any first-hand accounts. I am attempting it from early April before the heat kicks in. I will be taking a tent, cooking equipment. The plan is to do the Via Francigena in reverse, and then cut left via the coast into France where the way becomes more 'official'. Now, here's the kicker, as an Australia citizen I will only have 90 days inside the schengen region to complete the distance (roughtly 2400 kilometres.) I have completed the French way from Saint Jean (28 days) and didn't find it particularly strenuous, but I am concerned that I will be too fixated with rushing to get there to really enjoy the experience. If anyone has completed this way, or anyone feels like they could offer any advice or recommendations, or warnings against, or encouragment for, is welcome. Cheers! James,
