Does anyone know where it is and we it begins? I have heard they have a special service for pilgrims and list all the people doing the pilgrimmage. Or is this Ronv?
Thanks - six days!! :D
Leaving in 10 days today! Ahh! I was hoping you could help me answer some questions I have:
1) Would you bring a pillow if you had room in your bag? Do albergues have pillows? Do you think if you have a pillow you would get you a better rest, or is the use-what-you-got technique work best?
2)...
I was talking with someone and he said all the hostels were booked full in St Jean. Can you book in advance? Have you ever been in a jam? What do you do? Thanks for the help. Leaving in two weeks today!
Thanks for the help.
Too late to take the water pack back, but I plan to drink lots, so I think it might come in handy. I repacked a few times and I think I got it to work. Plan to start practising in the morning.

I have yet to see any posts about how people keep track of their funds on the Camino. Does everyone carry 3000 euros on them? I assume the hostels don't take VISA? What are the safest ways to do this? What tips do you have for people carrying all that money with them? Do you ever leave your bag...
I read some of the previous forums on how to get there, but now I received this email from EXPRESS BOURRICOT:
Does anyone have other ideas on how to get to the starting point? Should I just fly into France instead of Madrid?
Thanks - my first post! :)
