    NZer who walked Camino Frances with a new book out.

    From NZ to Camino del Norte

    Jill, I have read of you walking the Voie Littorale and onto the Camino del Norte. I am considering starting to walk from Biarritz, which I fly into, rather than hopping straight to Irun. I have a bit of lee way with my timing so should have plenty of days. What did you think of this part of...

I have allowed plenty of time for short days or side trips with my departure from Santiago on May 27. My husband and I previously walked the Camino Frances in April May 2015. This time I...

    We are leaving this week, doing a little traveling before we start our walk. We will be back by mid June. Maybe you would like to touch base before you leave. You have a very long walk in front of you - we had to look up where Figeac was! Best wishes, Vivienne and Jon
