    Making my preparations and freaking out a little

    Hi there, So there is an infinite number of questions you could ask but no answer will take away the shivers you have prior to ur first walk.

    Any young pilgrims will walk after August?

    When walking my CP I came across 5 spanish grandpa's in their early 70's and walked an hour together and I had so fun with those guys and enjoyed their conversation. And as a 40ish babe gotta add that I found those men uber attractive

    I want to add something on the concerns I had abt being not prepared. I decided 2 weeks ago to go for it. Booked and bought the guide 6 days prior.

    Thanks a lot made some progress already and decided to walk from the airport to Rates. I am not interested in Porto just wang to walk. The only question I have in mind is what to do if the albergue in Rates is busy. Do u or does anyone know alternatives?
