Sooo..
So are you saying I should mail things like my primaloft jacket or wool hat/gloves to myself?
When? To where and from where? I'm a little confused.
Dawn
Dawn,
Where do you live? Are you in the US? Where?
That really makes a difference in how you go.
Gatwick is not a main airport and is not as easy to get out of as Heathrow in my experience.
What are the dates of your travel?
I have spent hours on this and may be able to help you a...
We just got tickets yesterday from Amsterdam to Bayonne (stopping in Paris) for only $165. They're having a big sale right now!
Also... don't wait to win the lotto! We are carrying the prayers of our friends and relatives in the traditional way... I've raised $1200 towards my trip so far...
Why Paris
Well, for us, we will be in Amsterdam and then will be in Paris. So we're leaving for the Camino from Paris. But there are as many places to begin from as there are pilgrims, es verdad?
Paris
If you do fly into Paris, we got a pretty easy train ride from Paris to Bayonne. Only problem is it gets into Bayonne around 8:30 pm and the last train to SJPP leaves a few minutes earlier so we have to spend the night there in Bayonne. Then we catch an early train next morning to SJPP...
Zohar (Splendour!)
Thanks for the info. This is a very interesting idea and you would have laughed to see our eyebrows raise when I read it out loud to Joe!
Hey, so what is there to see in SJPP? Does it take more than a morning to explore before heading out to Orisson? And the Pilgrim's...
I had a lot of fun trying to get us from Amsterdam to Bayonne in one day. I finally achieved it. We arrive in Bayonne at 8:30 pm.
I just found out if we STAY on the train, we'll arrive in Hendaye. Does this make us closer? How do we get from Hendaye at 9 pm to SJPP?
Help?
I'll keep...
Bayonne Lodging
We arrive in Bayonne at 8:30 pm on the 28th of August.
I can't find a website for this Paris Madrid Hotel.
Do you have one?
Is there no refugio in Bayonne?
Walking from Bordeaux
Sil,
When you walked from Bordeaux to SJPP, approximately how many km per day did you walk?
What was the terrain like?
Are there plenty of hostals?
I'd like to start somewhere along the way that would take maybe 1 week to get to SJPP. Any suggestions?
Hotel in Madrid
Last time I was in Madrid we did not book a hotel or hostel.
We simply walked down the main street in Madrid and there are signs above the sidewalk that say they have rooms for rent or "camas" - What that means is that the person has a room in their own apartment or house for...
Paris to Bayonne
ok.. so I found a TVG train from Paris to Hendaye.
Somebody explain to me now WHY I want to go BACK to Bayonne?
Isn't Hendaye closer to where I'm going?
I'm so very confused... :oops:
No TGV train Paris to Bayonne
I went to the US TGV train website and can't find a train from Paris to Bayonne. Can anyone help? We're trying to get from Amsterdam to Bayonne around September 1.
