    Thanks Janel. I remember you sitting at the bar in Bar Julia bracing yourselves for the next leg of your day and boy did it get hot that afternoon!! We had quite a wait for the taxi / shuttle so graduated to the local liqueurs - it was tough!! It would seem that you got to SdC a day before us...

    Thank you all very much for all your help - particularly Tia Valeria, Falcon 269 (who motivated us from the start of the planning), Judydaisy who filled in plenty of detail and especially Albertinho - who assured us of the beautiful scenery on the route - he was right - even the built up bits...

    Hello Judy. Thank you very much for your kind offer - I'm sure it would be very useful to talk through where we are up to and things we may have omitted. I'm not very familiar with the protocols for these forums (fora?) - do we now go to a Private Conversation? Cheers John

    Thanks as ever Tia Valeria and Pilgrim B - most helpful. To clarify, it is our support driver who is no longer coming on the pilgrimage with us (as his wife has had to withdraw for health reasons); we have the dates fixed (9th to 16th May) and we are not looking to stay at the Mino albergue as...

    Thank you once more Albertinho & Tia Valeria Most of the group met yesterday and resolved to book flights and take it step by step from there - probably splitting the places we will stay (i.e. some in albergues and some in hotels). The most remarkable part of the meeting was that one man said...

    Hello Again Peregrinos!! The research is continuing and we think we have a better balanced itinerary - over 7 days. However, accommodation issues are continuing and this has caused us to ask the unaskable question ......!! Are we going to the best place?? We get the feeling that on this walk...
