    LIVE from the Camino Starting from SJPdP tomorrow, March 17, 2022

    Yes, the footbridge in not in fact out But, it is taped off and there is a small wash out just 20 or so feet prior to the bridge. I don’t know why I saw so many people walking on the road when I took the taxi from Pamplona, maybe they missed some turn offs? We were rarely on the road. There...

    LIVE from the Camino Starting from SJPdP tomorrow, March 17, 2022

    I found out, the foot bridge is out about a kilometer past Arnéguy so we must walk on the main road which is still open. That might explain why I saw so many people on the road today during my taxi ride in. Also I found out that Albergue Suseia iin Zubiri is currently closed but is opening...

    LIVE from the Camino Starting from SJPdP tomorrow, March 17, 2022

    Finally made it to SJPdP starting in the morning. I think there may be about a dozen of us starting tomorrow. Took the taxi from Pamplona and saw several walkers in the road which looked sketchy in a few areas. The peligrino office stated there’s a section on the Valcarlos route that closed...

    Rumpl blankets?

    I have this same brand (the Get out Gear) and use it in addition to the Sea to Summit bag liner with insect shield and have been absolutely amazed how warm and comfortable they both are.

    War in Ukraine - not political!

    I am struggling with this right now as I fly in 2 weeks. There are many IF's however. Logistically getting back to North America, from really any point on the CF, could become difficult if this escalates or if flights become more restricted. I think it is really too early to tell right now...

    2nd pair of shoes

    OH! That's brilliant! I never would have thought of that. I do have a room booked for Friday thru Sunday of easter I could probably send them there. Thanks!

    2nd pair of shoes

    I'm thinking of bringing an extra pair of Speedgoats because after the 110 miles of training hikes I've done with a weighted pack there is zero percent chance one pair will make it.

    Poll Do you listen to anything while walking?

    I'm totally going to listen to The Alchemist at Least once. When I'm on the Pont Neuf in Paris I just have to listen to Extreme Ways, usually more than once...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD France and the COVID pass.

    I fly into Barcelona, plan on taking the train to Pamplona and a taxi to SJPDP. SJPDP is my first entry in France this trip. I wish I could get the vaccine card converted to the EU Digital Covid Certificate in Spain. From what I've read, it looks like I'll be able to travel in Spain with my...

    Santiago de Compostela on Easter?

    I think it would be cool to go to Easter services, what a great way to end your journey! For me I'll still be on the trail (CF) and plan on taking a zero day in Leon for Easter.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD France and the COVID pass.

    Currently it looks like there are two pharmacies in SJPdP Pharmacie Okabe and Pharmacie Fournier where we can convert vaccination cards to the EU Digital COVID Certificate.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD France and the COVID pass.

    Hi all! I have a slightly different question. I travel to Barcelona on March 15th and plan on taking the train to Pamplona and a taxi to SJPdP on the 16th. I've had 2 doses of the Janssen (J&J) vaccine but my first dose was March 5th. I worked for a health care company at the time and felt...

    Traveling from Barcelona to SJPdP by Train

    Hi all, I'm looking at traveling to SJPdP from Barcelona this March because I found an airline ticket for only 39,000 miles into Barcelona. I was thinking of taking a train via Barcelona-Narbonne-Toulouse-Bayonne- St Jean Pied de Port since I'll be starting mid-March and that might be a little...

    How to use 2-factor ID for banking while traveling with a foreign SIM card

    OH! Very interesting, I did not know that. Thank you!

    How to use 2-factor ID for banking while traveling with a foreign SIM card

    Unfortunately, if you're from the US, 2 factor is still common for banking apps if the transaction triggers a fraud verification. Before I travel I'll call and give them the dates I'll be traveling to minimize out of region fraud alerts. Depending on your cell phone plan it could be up to $10 a...
