    Roncesvalles Beds - How was it in 2017?

    I was there at the end of May, supposedly a very busy time. I had reservations (which they responded to promptly within 2 days, despite all the warnings I’d heard of long response times). The beds were plentiful and many seemed not to have reservations and still were getting beds at 4 in the...

    Burst my camino bubble.

    But, will you walk again? Although I thought I would not want to, now that I've been home about a month and a half, I would consider doing a new route, or a different "pilgrimage" with a new destination. It helps knowing what to expect.

    Does Refuge Orisson Have wifi?

    No they don't. They have a big sign that says "No we don't have wifi- talk to each other!"

    Burst my camino bubble.

    I wish I had heard more reality about down sides, because I might have felt less down about them if I knew others had felt the same way but still came away enjoying their Camino. The biggest down side for me was the fact that due to the heat, and the early rising required in albergues, that you...

    Couldn't do it

    I'm so sorry you are feeling anxious and disappointed, and on top of that probably embarrassed to have planned and not gone. I say LISTEN TO YOURSELF- I think many of those saying "just go" and "the Camino will provide" are pushing their agenda on you. I am currently walking the Camino Frances...

    River path to Burgos closed.

    Although I planned to walk the river path yesterday (and was in fear of the dreaded industrial path after all these posts) I couldn't find the river path and accidentally walked the industrial path. No big deal! I arrived at the beautiful gates of Burgos not "overwrought" (yes I was exhausted...

    Backpack as Checked baggage

    Backpack as Checked baggage

    Although I loved this when I got it at IKEA and even more when I saw how perfectly my pack and poles fit in it, it NEVER MADE IT ONTO MY CONNECTING FLIGHT! So here I am in Paris ready to make plane train and bus connections to start my Camino with no pack. I am praying that the airline gets it...

    Backpack as Checked baggage

    By the way, I sent my backpack in one of those zippered IKEA bags that so perfectly fit my 36L bag, and supposedly would have made the bag easier for luggage handlers to handle.

    Backpack as Checked baggage

    I am about to start my Camino, left Portland Oregon yesterday morning, thru Newark, and arrived in Paris a few hours ago. I have a short flight to Biarritz in a few hours. BUT MY BACKPACK NEVER MADE IT TO PARIS! It is apparently still in Newark having not been transferred to my connecting...
