    Hi britt I agree with Gittiharre. If you can, travel straight through to St Jean on the same day without staying a night in either Paris or Bayonne. There is no need to, unless of course if you would like to. I would instead stay a night in St Jean, or even two, to rest well from the long...

    FITNESS ON THE CAMINO

    Hola Jane You do get fitter as you walk. 3 main things to aid the process are hydration, nutrition and rest. Drink plenty of water, this reduces fatigue. Tuck in with no guilt. You would have walked enough each day to justify all the calories. And get to bed when it is lights out at the...

    Ready or not! SJPP to Muxia, starting Sept. 15th

    Hi Rachel Before daylight saving changes, if you start walking by 7.30/8 am, you will get to see the sunrise. Most times you will have no problems finding your way. There will also be other pilgrims on the road. Anyone carrying a backpack, and walking before daybreak would likely be a fellow...

    Hello from Jacquie and Murph the terrier...

    Hi Jacquie and Murph It will be quite an adventure for sure! Do look out for farm dogs; they can be aggressive. And just out of curiousity, Murph, do you have a rain poncho ? If it is possible, and if you wish to, do post on this forum your progress and your (mis)adventures of your journey...

    Hi From Paul

    Hi Paul You could start a new topic under ["Live" from the Camino] category, and just continue to reply to yourself. Look forward to hearing from you, and yes, do be careful if you are walking after dark. There had been some discussions on this subject on this forum. Generally not adviced...

    Hello

    Hello Morgan, welcome. It would indeed be lovely to be able to place a face to the posts we read. I had posted one of my fav photo taken on the camino, a lone butterfly barely noticable among the pebbles on the path. A small patch of colour among the greys. To post pics, you may find this...

    Any October Starters?

    I know you will be starting soon, so JodyB just wanted to wish you Buen Camino. I started my walk on Sept 30 to Orisson, and have reached Burgos as of yesterday evening. It has been an incredible experience, and I have met people from so many countries. It is not at all a problem for women...

    Any October Starters?

    Thanks Jody. I have decided to travel through the day on to St Jean. And take my rest there. My plane arrives in Paris 6h55. I will catch the 10h10 train to Biarritz arriving 15h06. My connection from Bayonne is at 18h12, arriving in St Jean at 19h35. Kind of back-to-back but with...

    Any October Starters?

    I will be arriving in Paris morning of Sept 29th, and intends to take the TGV to Biarritz. I am hoping to overnight in Biarritz before heading to Bayonne to catch a train to St Jean on Sept 30th. Do anyone have a recommendation for a decent and not too expensive hotel in Biarritz ? Ideally...

    Any October Starters?

    Thanks Isabelle. Have yourself a wonderful camino too. And in case I get caught in last minute rushes, a very happy birthday to you in advance. I am hoping I will reach Santiago in time for my birthday, on Nov 1st. We shall see. Brenda, thanks for the assurance, and yes, you are right. We...

    Any October Starters?

    Sadly my walking companion fell seriously ill and will not be able to make it for the camino. Reading the postings from this forum, I am however encouraged by the number of women attempting this on their own and feel that perhaps I too can do it. I have come this far. My bag is almost all...

    Any October Starters?

    Hi Jody We try to walk in a pack. The leads will be the ones carrying the goodies ie the melons and the 100 Plus. Others will follow behind, keeping an eye on the goodies. Sometimes when the going gets tough and we groan at yet another flight of seemingly endless stairs, we would chant...

    Any October Starters?
