    That's great. We will arrive in SJPDP on the 25th April and start walking on the 26th. We have chosen to do the plan that they have on their site. I think it is 41 days. With rest days spaced throughout. Good luck with it all. Will keep in touch. Cheers.

    Mia, I am so sorry that you have lost your husband. How courageous of you to go ahead with your Camino. I do hope we meet up. What date are you arriving in SJdP? We will be there on the 25th April. If you are there then perhaps we could remember the ANZAC's together.

    Hi Carole, Thanks for your good wishes and the same to you. It is getting exciting. How far are you walking the first day? We are going to Roncesvalles. The first day has me a bit concerned as I read a lot of advice is to walk to Orisson the first day. We have booked our trip with Raw...

    Thank you. We will be spending Anzac Day in SJPdP and hope to meet with some Aussies and Kiwis there. We are visiting Gallipoli in late March so I imagine this Anzac Day will hold special meaning for us although it is an emotional day any year. Cheers.

    Thanks Issy. We have been wanting to do this since our son and daughter in law did the Camino in 2011. They said it was life changing for them. We have had a very stressful 2 years so I believe this has come along at the right time for us. Cheers.
