Maybe I'll try that next time, Nathanael. :p I haven't travelled overseas in 30 years and am a little anxious as this is my first Camino. I want to enjoy the walking itself.
Thanks very much for this David. I have started thinking along those lines. Although I am someone who likes to get up and going very early so it will be really hard for me to leave later than everyone else! :)
At the risk of starting up a whole new demand for attention, would anyone recommend the Camino Portugues rather than Frances which I gather gets very crowded after Sarria?
Great stuff. I am a very early riser so am thinking about leaving earlier than everyone else rather than later! :) Will definitely start with booking.com when I start getting down to my itinerary.
Just interested to know why you say you cannot walk alone from Sarrio in June? Do you mean it is very busy? Since I am leaning more and more to not going with a tour operator, I have my eyes set on some time in the first two weeks of May? Would that be less busy? This is not to say I am averse...
Thanks! That is kind of what I have had in mind but based on various other posts have started considering the advantages of making those arrangements myself in order to be more flexible.
