Hello,
I walked the Camino Frances starting from St Jean on 22nd September 2016. I stayed in Orrison and I met a wonderful pair of ladies from Alaska named Nancy and Jan. I saw them a few times over the first bit of the camino, but did not see them after Villatuerta (I think).... I would love...
Hello Dyan! I also will be starting from SJPP on the 22nd Sept! I have bought poles online and had them shipped to where I will sleep before I start, in Bayonne.
Will you be staying at Orison on the 22nd? I shall look out for your blonde bob end camino!

Hello!
I'm suddenly wishing I could take a small guitar along with me for my 6 week camino. But I realise this is impractical. I think 6 weeks without being able to play will cripple me. I'm a songwriter, and wish to write whilst walking. I love the idea of evenings spent strumming away whilst...

Hello, Yes I booked via their website... they were a bit slow to get back to me.... say a few weeks or so... I guess they're very busy!
Can't wait to meet you all!! Nancy
Thank you people of the forum. I have to say, I feel incredibly reassured after reading your posts. I think I just need something to be nervous about. I know that once I am there, I will be so stuck into doing the camino and talking to people that all of these worries will fall away. Thank you.
Wow, I never knew there was a thing called a fisterana! If/when I get to Fisterra, I certainly would love a certificate to say I did it!!
Thank you everyone for your kind advice.
Nancy
