    That is cool Carey. Lafaba is a pretty exotic location. Are you also walking the Camino this year?

    Phone apps Camino Frances

    Sounds sensible to have two options thanks for the advice Anthony. And it's the Brierley that I have which is lighter than many other guides luckily so will do as you suggest and ditch something else rather than my guide.

    Thanks your reply was very helpful 😀

    Phone apps Camino Frances

    Hi I'm walking my first Camino starting in SJPdP on the 25th May. I was thinking of downloading an app onto my phone rather than taking my guide with me to save on weight. I like the Gronze website but can only see the Gronze maps app so not sure if there is an app which includes all the info...

    In this part of the world we say Kia Ora. But yes thanks for your message which reflects a lot of what others have said. I am definitely planning to take my time so I can start my Camino in a fresh state.

    Refuge Orisson

    I did get two emails Katarina - but in very quck succession. A confirmation of the booking email then a second one which which had an invoice attached as an attachment, but also had a link to making an internet payment via paypal. I didn't notice this link until I received your message then went...

    I was also asked to pay this amount - so did so via PayPal.

    Refuge Orisson

    Thank you so much for your long reply Katarina. I still can't find the information regarding payment on their website but have however found the link in my confirmation email from them :-) which takes me straight to the check-out page. I know I shouldn't worry - just have a lot on the go at the...

    Refuge Orisson

    Thanks for the advice - yes I do feel a bit hesitant about paying any money over when it hasn't been made clear where the money is to be paid and how much?

    Refuge Orisson

    Hi everyone I am a very new to the Camino - so thought it a good idea to book a few nights ahead. I used the Refuge Orisson reservation option on their website and had my reservation confirmed with an invoice. However there is no indication of what deposit is required to secure the booking or...

    Travel options

    I've just booked Brisbane to Paris with Singapore airlines which will take 24hrs with a short transit time in Singapore. Not only did this option seem to have the shortest duration it was also the cheapest. One night in Paris and then the second night in SJPDP then I'll be on my way on the...

    Turning dreams into reality

    We were going to be leaving on the same day then Sally and Gary - but I moved my trip forward yesterday by 4 days as the long weekend in France meant I wasn't able to use the TVG fast train down to Bayonne on the Saturday, and I dearly wanted to do that rather than fly down. But who knows they...

    Turning dreams into reality

    Thanks so much for your words of encouragement Jimmy. And it's reassuring to know that nerves are part of the deal (even on the 3rd Camino) - I often find the greater the challenge, the more nervous one feels, but then at the other end there is a greater sense of personal achievement. And of...

    Turning dreams into reality

    Kia Ora Like so many others, my earlier plans to walk the Camino were thwarted by Covid - but 2022 has arrived and everything is on track for me to take the first of many steps from SJPDP to Santiago on May the 25th. I'm nervous but at the same time very excited about what lies ahead and looking...

    Paris CdG to SJPP

    I may have to give it to someone a bit more tech savvy to achieve that - I did have a look in settings and found the app - but couldn't see any reference to language only location etc.

    Paris CdG to SJPP

    Its still not very cooperative on my phone through the app but I had no issues booking online on my computer - it can't even find my booking so I can import it. All done now, bit complicated because I needed to change 2 flights, and two pre-reserved Hostel bookings but it will hopefully all work...

    Paris CdG to SJPP

    Thanks Myra I've just changed my flights for the 3rd time to avoid arriving ahead of a long weekend where it appears the trains won't be running on the route. So now arriving on the 23rd May and all looks fine with the trains.

    Paris CdG to SJPP

    I chose to fly with Singapore airlines as they are offering the best fares at the moment and Paris was by far the cheapest option as a destination for some reason. Looked at Barcelona and Madrid but they were all a lot dearer. Then when you start adding provincial destinations the price sky...

    Sounds pretty sensible Jim. Looks like I may be going to follow in your footsteps.

    Paris CdG to SJPP

    I need two paper bags Rick - one with Camino written on it and the other one with Moving House on it. Am keen to get the Camino sorted so I can focus on the other. But I'll take your advice on board. Luckily I am flying to Brisbane for 2 nights before setting off to Paris - so just slightly...
