When I did Frances from St Jean Pied de Port to Santiago in September/October 2022, at every stop, either private or public albergue, my passport was scanned or photographed with a phone camera, noticing some operating systems using very out of date technology, ie not updated for security...
I did the Frances last year at 72, going again next year, the downhills and uphills are tough, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, I walked with some younger people on occasions and they struggled, but it’s all possible. I had two walking sticks, took my time going to Zubiri, and the other...
Hello everyone I would like to walk Lourdes to St Jean Pied de Port next year, so asking those who have walked this route is the path mainly road, or tracks.
Thank you Angela
I purchased one of these for my eye drops that needed to be kept cool for 50 days while I was on the Camino and I was there Sept to Oct 2022 so it was hot the first few weeks. Felt the containers of eye drops were cool when I touched them. I have no actual proof that the temp was stable, but...
No need to stress I did this today,
after no sleep getting from Melb to Dubai on my phone, you only need the Aust international certificate to check your dates and dose of last vaccination, there is no uploading of our QR code from the Aussie certificate. It can only be done when you are...
I have just completed this, when I left Australia yesterday, I was told I need this certificate, the airline gave me the Spanish website to fill in everything, I received immediately a security code for the form and then it was smooth sailing, it did take about 30 minutes as I wasn’t sure of...
Help please, I tried to book a taxi online for September 3rd from Pamplona/Iruna arriving at 13.03pm to go to St Jean Pied de Port, but having trouble, can anyone advise me please will there be plenty of taxis at the station if I can’t manage this online booking. I do not wish to stay in...
Sorry to jump on your post zoe.smith994 but I am travelling from Pamplona Sat Sept 3rd to SJPDP and I have sent a reservation request to Teletaxi Sam Fermin, received a pending notice so far and that’s it, has anyone done this and how did you know which taxi was yours? I put in my reservation...
Thank you for your reply, I have been wanting to have my Australian phone number available while away, obviously being careful with roaming hence use the eSim account.
Hi has anyone purchased an eSim for your phone (in Spain) and used this separately to your home country sim? Providing your phone is eSim compatible, you won’t have to remove your home numbers physical sim. Just wondering if anyone has done this and the benefits/problems. Thanks
From Melbourne Australia and I booked Sept 22 (with Emirates, to Dubai then Barcelona taking 5 days to get to St Jean) sometime ago, the flights are now cheaper but I’m stuck with that. Just planning as though it will happen, had to cancel 2020 so all things crossed we can still travel in Sept...
Just tagging on the end of this thread - the pamplona bus to St Jean Pied De Port only leaves once daily, does anyone know what time this is, I cannot find it on the bus site, thank you
A couple of days behind you coming from Australia, will start walking Sept 5, leaving Australia September 1 landing in Barcelona, taking time getting to St. Jean Pied de Port.
I was very interested to read you met Australians on your pilgrimage. Surely they are Australians living overseas, we haven’t been able to travel internationally for 18 months. Hopefully more cafes and accommodations can survive and reopen soon. Great to read, thank you.
Coming from Melbourne Australia, there is light now, out international borders should open soon. I’m planning September 2022, to walk from SJPP to Santiago, surely that will work. Only two years after my first booking was cancelled.
