Also, I actually have my own related question. I ran a search and didn't find the answer I was looking for exactly. I will be arriving in Irun by bus from Barcelona, and I was wondering where in Irun I can get a credential. Can I got to the albergue (even though I won't be staying there?) or...
Also, getting from Amsterdam to Paris couldn't be easier. There are direct trains as well as budget airline flights available. Sorry, I don't really know the answer to the rest of your question, but that part I know.
Re: Bringing a Child Question
My response isn't Camino specific, but when I'm hiking, I quite often see Czech families with very young children in what i assume are the sturdier hiking push-chairs that people are talking about. They are often three wheeled so that they turn more easily. I see...
Haha! Thanks Mark. I definitely don't think I have it all together though! I was just surprised that I wasn't a puddle of goo after my first full length rugged prep-hike. I am lucky to have places to hike, but you are lucky to have the time to hike some every day! I work from early till...
Thanks for the response! Bus sounds good to me. I'll be arriving in Barcelona by bus, and possibly spending one day there before going to Irun, but the price is right for the bus. Thanks for the help!
Thanks for the advice on crocs, but I don't personally care for them. I have a pair of Chaco hiking sandals that I'll be taking. I already know they feel good on my feet, so I don't have to worry about new shoes. But I have heard great things about crocs for other people.
ALSO! I had my first...
Nice to meet all of you!
Yeah, I am very lucky that I decided to do the pilgrimage really between phases of my life. I am finishing a job here and haven't figured out my next move. I realize that I am incredibly lucky to have the freedom that I have. I've been wanting to go on pilgrimage for...
Thank you everybody for your excellent advice, inclduing people who sent me PMs. I have decided to do the Camino del Norte as planned. I think the challenges and the joys will be very different from the Camino Frances, but I have a strong intuitive pull to the northern route, and I think it is...
Congratulations on your pack! That sounds like you found a great one! I am going shopping tomorrow, and I'm nervous because not only am I a plus sized girl in a country full of tiny women, but I'm going to have to do all of my shopping in a foreign language. Eek! Your success gives me more...
Hi everybody,
I'm quite new here, and I have tried to browse through the current posts for more information, but my question still stands. I hope it isn't too redundant.
I am leaving for my first camino in June. After doing some research I decided that I would like to try the camino del...
Hello,
My name is Megan, and I am planning to walk the camino starting in June. I am from the US, but currently live in the Czech Republic. My plan is to walk the camino del norte and then take the camino primitivo through Oviedo. I have no time line. I am going with no return ticket and as...
