Hello Virginia,
I just came back from the Camino Frances last 12 Nov. The weather last October was very beautiful, with only two days of rain. If you walk 14 kms a day, you should have no problem walking the Camino. Age should not be a problem. I met several women in this age group walking...
Hello Howard,
Just returned from walking the Camino Frances 9 days ago. We were blessed with beautiful weather. As to preparation, if you are an experienced walker, I guess, just keep walking everyday. It will also depend on how many kilometers you would like to do everyday. I agree with...
Thanks, Clarissa. At this moment, just came back doing the last minute purchases, etc., etc., etc., writing reminders to husband and son, and looking forward to tomorrow's departure, and what lies ahead. This pilgrimage trip would have seemed difficult if I did not find Ivar's website with...
Bryan,
My friend and I will leave St. Jean on 05 Oct. We may see each other on the road. We will look out for your avatar symbol. Buen Camino to you and your friends, and to you, too, Chris.
Hello All,
In a few days, we will be leaving for our first Camino. This forum has been very helpful with all the information that a first-time pilgrim needs to know. Thank you all for your sharing of your experiences, your insights and your wonderful advice.
I definitely agree with you, John. Although each one of us has our own reasons for doing the Camino, I think sharing the road with the other pilgrims to reach the same destination gives us the time to examine ourselves and our relationship with others. I started preparing for this walk almost...
So wonderfully described. Thanks, James. You and John have given a very positive insight of what can be experienced on the Camino walk, not only about nature's beauty and abundance, but also the friendliness of the local people which will help reduce any feelings of uncertainty or anxiety...
Yes, I wonder, too, Stephen. That remains to be seen. At any rate, nobody should take anybody else's produce without permission. And perhaps, the farmers would be too happy to share.
Hello,
Could anyone inform me what transfer to take from Charles de Gaulle to Gare Austerlitz? My flight arrives at 5:10 pm and I am taking the SNCF train from Paris to Bayonne at 11:30pm, same day. I searched the internet for transfers from Paris airports to Paris train stations, and the...
Hello John,
What a beautiful description of Camino in October! I will look forward to this nutritious bounty. And at the end of the day's walk, the promise of a restful sleep. Thank you for the very helpful information. My friend and I are trying to reduce our load as much as we can...
Re: WALKIGN THE CAMINO IN OCTOBER 2007
Hi Rod,
We should be crossing each other's path, then, as we will be starting from St. Jean on 05 Oct. Thanks for the info about the shop. There are still bits and pieces to put together, and we will definitely visit it.
Buen Camino!
Linda
Hi Rod,
Thanks for your e-mail. We are leaving on 02 October. There is much information about the Camino and so many helpful tips about what (and what not to do), and it is now the actual experience that we are looking forward to.
I wish you the best for your forthcoming trip.
Linda
Hello,
I am Linda, and I am from Melbourne, Australia. My friend and I are leaving for the Camino in October, . and are both looking forward to it. We started preparing for this journey about a year ago, especially the long walks.
I enjoyed thoroughly reading the Camino information I...
