    Before or after Camino

    Thanks for your thoughts Peregrinopaul. Unfortunately it doesn't appear that we will be walking this year. Both my husband and I are suffering with "feet" problems. I couldn't even do a brisk 30 minute walk in my new worn-in runners without getting blisters!

    @Dutch thanks. Buen camino to you.

    Before or after Camino

    Sorry I missed coming back to this thread to respond, partly because I am unsure if our plans will come to fruition. Wawpdx I was hoping to find somewhere in Paris to hold our extra luggage whilst we did our walk. Jeffnd and colinPeter if we do get to go we certainly plan on visiting Ephesus...

    Thanks Kellyz and also colinPeter, as you can see I am leaning to post camino, as per the original plan. I can also see that for each camino there could be a different outcome - thanks.

    Thanks John McM. I think I as I just written above we will do it post camino. Yours was one of the last blogs I read - enjoyed it :-)

    Thanks MichaelC. In my initial plan I was only giving us 3 or 4 days to get over the jet lag, which I think will be fine. I think I will continue to think of it as a post camino adventure.

    Not a problem CMSMackie. Unfortunately I have no idea on what Azores is like, but hopefully someone else can fill you in.

    Thanks for your input Wayfarer. I realised I didn't explain quite properly, we will probably only go from Le Puy to SJPDP, maybe a little further. Fancy doing a slow camino. If we do get back we can continue on from where we left off.

    Thanks Tia - a good point.

    Thanks for your thoughts Tyrrek. Yes wouldn't want to carry any carpets lol.

    Before or after Camino

    My husband and I are considering doing the Le Puy route later this year. We will be travelling from Australia, and it is highly unlikely we will be travelling to Europe again for at least several years. We would like to spend about a week in Turkey, and the initial plan was to visit on our way...

    Thanks everyone for your comments. I had some technical issues last night and couldn't post anything more. I did a re-jig of an itinerary today and gained another 3 days. I appreciate the suggestions but of course there is usually more going on the background than one posts. I think we will aim...

    I hadn't even contemplated flying Santiago to Istanbul. That is extremely valuable information. Thanks Tyrrek

    @Kanga thanks for that. Not sure maybe when I searched with them I didn't do the Madrid option.

    Thanks for your thoughts Robertt. As you may have seen we intend to return home via Istanbul. Exciting even if still in the pipe dream stage.

    Thanks Kanga good thoughts there. I had looked at flying into Madrid, but wasn't having a lot of success with flights. I am going to make contact with a travel agent in the next few days and see what options they can come up with. We have decided to spend some time in Istanbul at the end of the...

    Thanks Tyrrek and again Lise. Lise I have a couple of possible itineraries on the go for getting to and from Europe, and they all have between 2 and 3 nights elsewhere before SJJP, so I'm hoping the worst of the jet lag will be over by then :-)

    Thanks again Wayfarer.

    New Aussie

    Thanks Lise T and Wayfarer for your kind words. My rationale for wondering about starting somewhere a big further away was that it may help get into the swing of things before the usual "big first day", but have wondered why other people don't seem to do that. Maybe it isn't helpful at all?

    New Aussie

    Hi, I have been thinking about doing a Camino on and off for a year or so. I recently decided to aim for a start in late August 2015 from SJJP or maybe somewhere a couple of days walk further into France. I am also undecided on whether to continue on to Finisterre. My husband has decided he...
