    Day 1 St Jean to Roncesvalles

    This of all sections I would suggest having your bag transported. Why have a chance of injury so early on? Those opportunities will come later. ;). The office in SJPDP has small backpacks for you to borrow.

    Washing the clothes and washing urself....

    I carried a 3 gallon ziplock and some powder, very concentrated, soap. A few albergues do have machines and it is a wonderful treat to be able to get clothes really clean. Some are free and some cost. Worth the $.

    What is the one Albergue that you would say not to miss

    Yolanda - I will be departing SJDP on May 29th - I had initiated this post/query when I did the Camino the first time with my daughter. This time I'll be on my own. Maybe we will see one another on the way.

    Most effective way to wash clothes

    Keeping in contact with fellow travelers??

    OK - I'm game..... Are you talking about being in a more urban area or is there something that I am missing? Are there some parts of the trail less safe than others? Thanks!

    Keeping in contact with fellow travelers??

    I will be traveling with my teenage daughter. She is an incredible traveler and I trust her to go it alone during the day if she likes. Having said that, what would be the best way to come back together at the end of the day if we have not chosen where we will spend the night? Those of you...
