    Looking for Anton from Switzerland

    Hi there! Okay, this is kind of embarrassing and desperate! But I don't know what else I can do and its kind of my last resort! :( I met this guy called Anton from Switzerland on the camino between September- October 2011. And I need to get in touch with him again! All I know about him is...

    St. Jean to Santiago in 27 Days???

    Jameswberk Yeah, I couldn't find any bus or train connections from Irun to Logrono. I was kinda hoping to get there and see what I can do to reach Logrono. However, it does make sense to keep my options open about getting to Pamplona from Irun. I have already booked my train tickets from Paris...

    St. Jean to Santiago in 27 Days???

    Annelise, J Mcguire Ahh, the Visa issues!! I still can't believe I made it this far! It was just in March, that I watched the movie, "The Way" and got so inspired to do it. It was certainly like a divine intervention in my life, as i was really down in the dumps with life! So, I quit my job...

    St. Jean to Santiago in 27 Days???

    Tyreek, methodist.pilgrim.98 & Robert Yeah! I just found out that I can get my pilgrim credential from Logrono too! So, it's best to avoid going to St. Jean. I guess I would be more comfortable knowing a starting point and then walking without any jumps. Otherwise, my calculative head would...

    Bus to Finisterre

    Oh, I didn't know about the ceremony! I would love to spend the night there in that case. I thought its a small secluded place and finding hotels would not be easy. I hope thats not the case. :)

    St. Jean to Santiago in 27 Days???

    Now that I have made up my mind to start in Logrono and not St. Jean. Can you please tell me if a bus service or anything else is easily available from St. Jean to get to Logrono. Since, I'm coming from Paris I can't see any other way around, but to reach St. Jean on 11th September around noon...

    St. Jean to Santiago in 27 Days???

    Yeah, I think your advice of starting from Logrono is good. That way, I'll have atleast a day or two incase of emergencies. I wanna do this with complete peace of mind and not having to look at my watch every 10 minutes. :) Thank you so much!

    St. Jean to Santiago in 27 Days???

    JohnnieWalker Exactly, I so don't intend to rush along the Camino. I wanna take each day as it comes. I just wanna decide on a starting place and reach there in time, take a day off to recover from the jet lag and rest well before I start my walk. :)

    Bus to Finisterre

    Hi there! I wanna know if there are any bus services I can avail from Santiago to Finisterre? And how much time does it take to reach there by bus? Can I reach Finisterre, spend some time and get back to Santiago in the same day? I plan to catch a flight at 22:00 pm from Santiago to Madrid on...

    Paris CDG to Paris Austerlitz?

    Thank you for your reply! :) Yeah, I did check the train connection again and yes! it makes sense to get to Bayonne from Paris instead of getting off at Biarritz. Can you tell me is it too difficult to find the Paris RER and then get off at Chatelet station and onto a metro for Austerlitz?? I...

    Schengen Visa Issues!

    Lol, yeah I know what you mean! But cant' blame them folks entirely. The system of migration for lucrative careers to the USA or other developed nations is very complicated to completely comprehend. But nonetheless, the genuine tourists and pilgrims suffer from it. I hope the consulates find...

    Schengen Visa Issues!

    Hi there sillydoll :D Yep, I guess we both are in the same dilemma! :) It's really ridiculous! Kind of takes away the excitement from the trip! The same documents you mentioned are asked even in India. However, the most difficult part of the hotel bookings, when there is no way of knowing...

    Schengen Visa Issues!

    Thanks for the reply Annie. The no "Schengen visa" applies to only citizens of USA, New Zealand and Australia. And maybe some other countries too. But for Indians we need the Schengen Visa even if we are travelling for a week! But the visa requirements are too complicated here. GIven to the...
