    St. Jean beginning of September?

    Currently I'm booked in for both 30th and 31st Aug with a start date of 1st Sept, still not sure what will happen as I'm due to fly out 4 weeks on Sunday but as yet can't get a shoe/boot/sock anywhere near my left foot. There's a part of me that is tempted to fly out anyway in order to see you...

    Irish President walks the Camino

    I'm glad she walked. I'm glad that so many people walk, it may make the CF crowded during the summer months but there are other routes, and months, for those wanting a quieter walk. ETA : Iona is another one of those places that 'calls'. My memories of an all too brief visit there linger 11...

    Irish President walks the Camino

    I don't normally jump into these threads but what happened to 'everyone walks their own camino'? Who is to say that, like so many of us, she wasn't drawn to walk for a reason that she didn't fully understand? When that need hits resistance is futile and if this was an available opportunity...

    Knitting on the Camino

    I'm known as Mrs Sock to a certain group of friends as I turn up at their house from time to time and sort out the mountain of socks in their airing cupboard! No one in that house EVER puts socks into pairs and I relish the job :D So I think you should leave socks on the Camino for me to find...

    Pre- departure nerves!

    <making note of that number in readiness for September> I had my first 'anxiety' dream about the Camino last night. You can imagine the kind of thing, a HUGE backpack filled with all kinds of unnecessary items and nothing useful at all. Is this connected with the fact that I'm currently moving...

    café con leche

    Johnnie - I'd forgotten about manzanilla! I was given a bagful of camomile flowers newly picked on a Spamish hillside and drying on the bar when I asked for manzanilla several years ago, thank you for the reminder. It's odd what the mind decides is an important 'worry factor', I shall put that...

    café con leche

    it may seem an odd thing about which to be concerned but I must admit that it has been a minor niggle for a while. To the point that I've started trying to drink coffee again after nearly 25 years of not doing but i simply don't like it! I'm hoping that hot chocolate will fill the gap and might...

    Way point feedback.

    re your plan to visit the Alhambra. PLEASE please book your tickets ahead of time. You can do this online and the system now is that you book either a morning or afternoon ticket rather than the timed entry that used to be the case. We planned to visit for my birthday this year only to discover...

    Novice walker leaving very soon

    I spent a couple of weeks driving through Northern Spain during the Summer of 2005 when I had minimal Spanish (could say 'hello', 'goodbye', 'thank you' and count to 10!) By the time I left I felt reasonably confident that I could stagger through most everyday situations with the help of a...

    Arrive SJPDP May 18! Yippee!

    xm - 'thread' in this context is all the replies to an initial post on a messageboard such as this. Hope that makes sense?! (therefore this is the 3rd post in this thread)

    One wek to go

    good luck Dave! If you look in here again before you leave check out sillydoll's reply in the 'luggage storage' thread where there's some useful info about posting stuff along the Camino, including rates and weights and addresses for those post offices en route

    All prebooked - yes or no ?

    and just to add my own thoughts. . .if you can afford to stay in the slightly more salubrious places you may well free up a bed in a refugio for someone who is having to count every euro in order to manage the Camino financially. We all have to do it our own way

    Camino Norte

    into Heathrow/Gatwick and out of Stanstead? Mmm, see your point.

    Camino Norte

    Bilbao is worth the visit in its own right and if you go there you might well want to spend longer than half a day. I went to the Guggenheim with a 'yeah, let's see what all the hype's about then' attitude and was seriously hooked. Had planned on half a day but went back the next morning having...
