    Random QUestions-money/terrain

    Hey Zoey, Getting cash shouldn't be a problem as long as you plan well. There are two things: 1- you don't spend cash that fast so it'll last you a long time, and 2- there are ATM machines in every big city i.e. Pamplona, Burgos, Leon, Santiago. Some are also present in the smaller towns...

    What are the Favored Places to Stay?

    Hi Chris, I completed my walk from SJPP to Finisterre first week of June, I also walked a large part of the way with someone who started in Geneva. Good luck! As for best/most interesting places to stay: 1. In Burgos it's worth splurging on the Hotel El Cid. My room had a window...

    Any 20somethings doing the pilgrimage in June/July?

    Originally I decided because I was flying into Paris to start so it seemed logical that I walk from there. Then I read "Hug for an Apostle" by Laurie Dennett and was somewhat influenced to start from Chartres. Then looking at maps I thought that walking more in the Loire valley might be nice so...

    Books

    The book I've chosen to plan out my April camino is this one by Ben Cole: http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/ASIN/0 ... 30-5035222 A second edition has just been release so it must be quite up to date. Reviews look good and the content appears to be highly relevant (where to eat, sleep and...

    Judy here!

    Hi Judy, In the 80s Laurie Denett walked the Camino from Chartres, France to raise money for MS. She later wrote a book about her experience in "A Hug for an Apostle". The journal style boot was a great help in planning my own up-and-coming camino. It's out of print but you can get used...

    Blessing in Disguise

    Congradulations on your decision to walk the Camino. I understand what you mean about unhealthy work environment, especially vis-a-vis stress and long hours. I am certain that although walking the camino will create some pains and aches and blisters, it will definitely help to heal the...

    Blessing in Disguise

    Hello Everyone, My pilgrimage departure date (April 20) is coming up quickly, and it looks like my well paying high tech firm don't believe in a leave of absence, so I quit! Walking my first camino has become a pre-occupation, probably not very far from an obssession. The good news is...

    From Paris to Roncevalles

    Hello All, First of all, thanks to everyone who contribute to this forum, it's a treasure trove or knowledge. Without it I'd be lost a long time ago :) I have been planning on starting my camino late April, starting in Orléans, France, taking the 'Paris Route'. However today I was read...

    From Chartres to Santiago

    Hi Everyone, I'm pretty much set on starting the camino next May. I'm thinking of leaving from Chartres and taking my time getting to Santiago. I was wondering if there's anyone who's walked it and how long it took. I was also wondering where to get a pilgrim's passport in Chartres...
