Carla, I'm so glad we're starting on the same day from St. Jean! I visited Cape Town a few months ago and loved it. Look out for me. I'll be the Canadian wearing an Aussie hat :)
Hmmm. Yes, I'm definitely walking slower than usual as my mileage increases, and plan to take it very easy in the first couple of weeks on the Camino. I'm also enjoying all the planning. I find searching for Camino info on internet to be addicting, don't you? There are never enough packing lists :)
I'm booked at Orisson for May 16. There's no way I'm going all the way to Roncesvalles in one go! I think that first day is going to be hard enough. I'm currently doing long walks and have built up to 3.5 hours, and my feet are feelin' it!
I said "we" meaning you and me. I'm traveling solo. I'll be at Beilari in St. Jean for 2 nights (14 and 15) to help with jet lag before walking. See you there!
