Hi from NZ. I have walked much of the North Island section of Te Araroa and as an avid Camino walker can say that it is very different It is a reasonably new trail so the infrastructure is still developing. You do need to carry your own tent and food for much of the trail. There is a website...
We are on the Del Norte now. Currently in La Franka and have had to book hotels for the next two nights. Albergue accommodation is tough to get. We are off stage now so hope it will improve. We started in Irun two weeks ago and booked up to Bilbao. We talked to many people who had not booked and...
Hi all
I will be doing my first solo camino starting in September 29. I will be doing the Frances again after previously doing it with my sister in 2016. Since then I have done the Le Puy Route (2018) and last year the Portuguese from Lisbon to Santiago.
This year I am looking forward to...
Stephen, Carmen will have no trouble catching you up, even if you dont linger. She is an energiser bunny and super fit. We hope to get from Le Puy all the way to Pamplona, but who knows what we will be distracted by. Buen Camino all of us Waikato people on the Camino in May, June, and July,
Hi Carmen
I also live in Cambridge NZ and did the Camino with my sister in 2-16. I am off again to do the Le Puy in June this year with my 3 sisters. Maybe you will see me around Cambridge training with my pack on my back. You will love it.
Hi Chris
We are a bit later than you - arriving on 7 June and spending 2 nights in Le Puy before walking. It is unlikely we will catch up with you but you never know. Go well.
Hi Camino Chris
My sister Jenny and I are planning to walk this route in possibly June 2018. The information in the post will be very useful in our planning. Maybe we will see you out there.
We stated there a few days ago. Very clean we missed out on the pilgrims meal as it was over subscribed but enjoyed a meal in the local bar. They take bookings which I advise
Go for it. I turned 60 years young last year and this is my first camino starting on April 15. I am doing it with my sister and I am sure there will be many others like us that will help you not feel so alone. You can do it.
Hi there
It is great to hear from someone who is starting the camino on the same date as us. And you have done it before so you will be able to share some prior experiences. We are actually coming from Bayonne and getting a taxi to SJPDP on the 14th. Our first day of walking is the 15th and we...
Hi Cath
You will be a day ahead of us to Paris - we leave Auckland on the 12 and spend just one night in Paris before catching a train to Bayonne. We will look out for you on the way. Buen camino
