    SJPDP to Roncesvalles in a Day....hmm

    We started in SJPP about eight days ago, but stopped in Orrison in part to allow for a recovery from jet lag. I just turned 60 and, in retrospect, think going all the way to Roncesvalles on the first day would have been fine. For us, we stopped in Orrison for the experience, meeting a smaller...

    Accomodation...or lack of

    For what it's worth, we're currently on the CF staying in Estella and have had no trouble getting beds booking one night out at the private albergues. In Pamplona, one of our group walked in at 1 or 2 at our albergue and still was able to get a bed. Spaces appears to be tight, but a little...

    It's today, my very favourite day

    We appear to be just a day ahead of you in Zubiri, and have thoroughly enjoyed our walk thus far, particularly the beech forests in the fog. Buen Camino.

    LIVE from the Camino Rain, fog, mud ... and a wonderful Camino thus far

    The temp was varied. When we left SJPP it was probably close to 50 F, but it was quite cold and damp at the higher elevations. I'm not sure of the temp, but am guessing it was closer to 40 with a wind that made it feel colder. We did see a few piles of snow along the way. Layers worked well. I...

    LIVE from the Camino Rain, fog, mud ... and a wonderful Camino thus far

    My wife and I started out of SJPP on Friday, staying our first night in Orrison. The hike up to Orrison was a workout, with rain pretty much the whole way - though the views were still beautiful. Our second day was fog and rain most of the way, and we couldn't see more than 100 yards in any...

    So tell me what's wrong with this phone idea

    We leave tomorrow for our CF and were planning on installing a Spanish SIM card in our iPhone 6s once we reached Pamplona - but hit a snag when we called Verizon. They, of course, argued against doing so.:rolleyes: Their claim was that not all iPhones are not the same, Verizon ones differ from...

    Compatible bottles smart tube

    Here's a picture of the setup. The Camelback is actually the 24 oz size. It's on the small side, which is why we have the additional platypus. You may be able to find a larger Camelback that works as well. We love how the Smart Tube works. Joe

    Compatible bottles smart tube

    We have the smart tube and it works great with the 0.75 liter Camelback water bottles we use with our bikes. We did find some of the bike water bottles we had did not seal as well, but the Camelback one does not leak at all. I'll send a picture along when I'm home. We're also taking a...

    Friday the 13th start in May 2016

    That would be great! We're getting pretty excited about our upcoming adventure. The time is flying by, though everything seems to be falling into place. We've been on several long hikes (25k) with our full backpacks and no major surprises (I expected to be sore the next day and sure enough...)...

    April /May/June 2016 Peregrinos - Camino Frances

    We're from Michigan, USA. I just turned 60 6 days ago and my wife (Mary) turns 60 in June. We've been married 33 years. We have three sons and one granddaughter. This is our first Camino. I wish I was retiring soon, but it's going to be a few years yet. We just finished our first 24km walk today...

    April /May/June 2016 Peregrinos - Camino Frances

    Spammy: We're (Joe and Mary) arriving in SJPdP early on the 12th, so sharing a taxi won't work, but we'll surely see you on the Way. We start our walk on May 13th, stopping in Orrison for the first night. Just 32 days to go! Getting pretty excited to start. Buen Camino.
