    Camino Frances, are you ready for this Aussie. . . .

    @JennyH94 Yes, I am very lucky to be living where I am. The surrounding area is gorgeous and there are many, many local trails that take you right out into the countryside to train on for the Camino. Re trip to Sydney; I'll check what I've got coming up over the next month and see if I'm able...

    Camino Frances, are you ready for this Aussie. . . .

    @Al the optimist: A Guinness stain? Is that like a glass of Guinness Al? Or am I way off track and you're talking about the Guinness that missed my mouth and ended up on my clothing (not that that would happen, mind you) and literally left a stain? lol I guess it doesn't matter either way...

    @William Marques: William, look what I found on the link you posted! (Okay, so I already know that you knew it was there, but how exciting for me!) lol Sooo, if I can get my credencial (I'm already learning Spanish thanks to this forum:)) before I arrive in, or once I've arrived in Ireland...

    Camino Frances, are you ready for this Aussie. . . .

    @William Marques Hi William! No, I hadn't heard about that particular stamp. How cool is that! I'll definitely check that out. I also read somewhere that there are quite a few terrific 'walks/treks' in Ireland and some are related to The Way of Saint James. I'll need to check that out again to...

    Class of 2015

    @William Marques Hi there, I'm acknowledging that I'm a member of the Class of 2015 (well, I will be soon). I'll be starting my Camino Frances walk from Saint Jean Pied de Port on June 16th 2015 :) Buen Camino fellow classmates!!

    Camino Frances, are you ready for this Aussie. . . .

    @Al the optimist Thank you Al. Actually (shh, it's a secret between us, okay), I had to look up the word 'sello' to see what it meant. It means 'stamp' ! lol. Truly, I don't know what I would've done without everyone's very helpful advice. This is the best forum I've ever had the pleasure of...

    Camino Frances, are you ready for this Aussie. . . .

    @David Thank you so much for the helpful advice David. I think I've made up my mind now, that I'll taxi the route (I think....lol). Re: the Peace Pilgrim, wow! I literally cannot get over that amazing woman's story. She pilgrimmaged for 28 years and walked an incredible 25,000 miles! Truly...

    @falcon269 It's possible! Depending on how you feel about vegemite lol. Personally, I love it. So I'll definitely be taking along a tube with me :D

    Camino Frances, are you ready for this Aussie. . . .

    @SYates Thank you for the link. I viewed the link on Wikipedia and then went to http://www.peacepilgrim.org/ to read the full story. She truly was an extraodinary woman. One can only aspire. . . . . . . . :) I'm also interested in your story. Wow, so many miles. Gosh, you must've gone/must be...

    Camino Frances, are you ready for this Aussie. . . .

    @dougfitz I think you might be right Doug! I don't think the words 'vegemite' and 'enjoy' in the same sentence qualify as an oxymoron. Unless of course some people believe the word 'vegemite' means 'poison' (or something similar) . . . . . . and yes, come to think of it, I believe I have...

    Camino Frances, are you ready for this Aussie. . . .

    @JennyH94 You know Jenny, that sounds very, very tempting. Just one of each and one per day should keep the ole hangover away too! Well, I'll try my best to just have one of each once a day. Wait, what!. . . . . that makes three per day! lol Jenny, I think we might just be kindred spirits :-)...

    @alexwalker Hi Alex, thank you for your comment. Well, I'm not sure if I'm totally ready for the Camino, but is anyone ever really ready for such a long trek? But, I'm doing my best :) Yes, I'm very enthusiastic. I have enthusiasm in abundance and love to share. I think for me the Camino...

    Camino Frances, are you ready for this Aussie. . . .

    @David LOL That's quite possible, but I'll try with all my might to stay off the Guiness the day I'm travelling ;) Actually, I think the jet lag part will be okay as well. I'll be staying in Dublin for a few days prior to my Camino adventure :)

    @Ian Afloat Thank you Ian. This kind of nails it for me. The taxi is a much better option to arrive in SJPdP at an earlier hour:) Buen Camino!

    Camino Frances, are you ready for this Aussie. . . .

    @William Marques: Gosh, everyone has been so helpful. Thank you! I’ve thoroughly checked out the link that @NualaOC provided and I must say that @whariwharangi has done a great job compiling all that information. I did read however, that the tracks between Gare de Bayonne and SJPdP had been...

    Camino Frances, are you ready for this Aussie. . . .

    @Al the optimist Thank you Al :-) Another very kind, thoughtful pilgrim @David advised that there is a train from Biarritz to SJPdP. Does it travel directly there or does it take a roundabout route where changeovers will be required? I read somewhere that the trip takes about 7 hours. Does that...

    Camino Frances, are you ready for this Aussie. . . .

    @Charles Hansen Hi Charles, I think I've got it! Will travel south west from Biarritz heading to SJPdP but then UP into the foothills of the Pyrenees to reach Saint Jean. . . . . .Yes?!? :)
