Hey,
We (my friend, Jordan, and I) walked the Camino Frances in June/July 2013..
We are very contrasting characters despite being best friends! Before our Camino I found myself meticulously planning every step, learning in so much thorough detail every tiny step our journey. I read the...
We walked from St Jean to Santiago in June this year and we kept finding ourselves amazed by the power of the Camino! It was as if the things we really needed it provided for us. Maybe it was the law or attraction, maybe it was coincidence? I had painful sinuses and a blocked up nose one...
I have mine here with me on the Frances. I'm in Finisterre tonight and its still alive! (One dent though!) very useful to have it but not necessary. Definitely a luxury more than anything.
On the camino at the moment, infact nearly at the end. The best option is just to 'pop a squat' somewhere a little out of the way or just use one of the hundreds of bars along the way, good opportunity to take a short break and grab a coffee! :)
ALBERGUE VERDE in Hospital de Órbigo. -
the most peaceful, homely and wonderful place I stayed. The people who work there are so open hearted and kind. It costs nine Euros but for that you get a free two hour yoga session, a vegetarian dinner feast (best food I had on the camino) and a...
Thankyou so much for your replies
We are in carrion de Los condes now and have really enjoyed every single step! Looking back, Pamplona wasn't so bad. I guess we were just worn out and overwhelmed by the culture shock. I absolutely LOVED burgos. We spent three days there and didn't want to...
Hello all,
We are in pamplona at the moment and feeling very overwhelmed. Going from very pilgrim friendly environments to a city has been a big challenge today! It's also Sunday so there are no shops open for supplies. Everything is aching and we are need of some inspiration! Thinking about...
Hi,
I'm just trying to cut my costs. not really sure what to do. I think I'm going to scrap the plan to get the trains and get straight onto a flight to barritz from CDG. It's very last minute to change plans as we are arriving in Paris on Wednesday afternoon, we will stay the night and then...
Thankyou for your help! We are getting the train from Paris CDG and are staying within the airport the night before we get the train. :) I really appreciate all of the useful links and experienced advice. We are going to get tickets on the day of departure as the website keeps telling me that...
Can I get train tickets on the day of travel to get the TGV from Paris to Bordeaux and then Bordeaux to Bayonne, and then bus or train from Bayonne to STJ PDP? Or is it absolutely essential to pre book train tickets online?
This is something I'm fairly worried about and would really really...
I'm leaving for the camino France's in six days and this has me in a bit of a panic. I have been dreaming of this camino for so long and I'd hate it to be ruined by Inconsideration and rudeness. I try and always lead by example and I hope my cheeriness, kindness and smiles will be contagious...
The 'Coffee Break Spanish' podcast is free on iTunes. There's lots of 15 minute episodes that have really done the trick for me! Really starting to click with espaniol!
I also use the iPad app 'Spanish' by mindsnacks, it's a bit kiddy but when you get over the cuteness it's actually a really...
Thankyou both for your wonderfully considered replies. :)
I am writing this blog primarily to help future pilgrims who may wish to walk. Being nineteen I love the possibility if inspiring young walkers. I'm sure the outcome of this blog will be unintentionally rather female, so another good...
Today I bought my "boots" and socks for my camino 2013. I have written a post about this on my camino blog (with photographs!). I'll be posting very regularly. Please let me know if you find it useful. :) I'll also post whilst I am on the camino if I can! Hope you enjoy...
