To polish pilgrims:
There is a bus service to Poland (major cities like Wroclaw, Krakow, Poznan, Warsaw) from Santiago. It takes some 30hrs and costs between 130 to 160 euros. Pretty expensive and time consuming, but it can be ideal last-minute option.
You will get your tickets from ALSA at...
Hello from Arzua- one day walk from Monte do Gozo (yes, we have almost made it).
Can anyone of you tell me how to get out from Santiago and get to Poland cheaply and quickly? Do you know of any travel agents organising bus trips to Poland or bus companies traveling to Poland?
Please help!
Kuba.
Thanks Sil.
I have just received a message from Tim (http://www.errecaldia.com) and he's saying that 21.06 from Bayonne is a TRAIN. I guess, we will have to wait till tomorrow evening to be absolutelly sure:))
I will try to ask about it on the train from Paris (just hope that someone will...
Can anyone explain, if 21.06 on this timetable is a train or a bus?:

We are leaving tomorrow morning:))))))))
Yuppiiii!
Ok, I have found a bed in St. Jean on 18th of august. The owner even offered us a lift from the station (at 10:20pm) for additional 5euros, which I have agreed to. The price is 65 euros for a room wih bathroom (for 2 people- one double bed or 2 singles- he's got 2 rooms on offer) and Breakfast...
Thanks for your help.
Slightly different question- is there any chance to get a bed in St.Jean after 22.30? Maybe we could catch the last bus from Bayonne, so we would not need to stay there for a night?
Take care.
Kuba.
Thanks Sil! Now we know almost everything. 99% chance that we will go for a train (enviromental freaks).
I don't think, that a bus ticket to st.Jean is online bookable- is it?
Thanks. Kuba.
I will try to get my answers in this topic then.
We need some help with trains.
Landing on CDG 18august at 11.55 am. We would love to get to St. Jean the same day in the evening. I know, there is few options allowing that, but train changes are a bit tight- that's why I need some advice.

We have the same problem.
Sil, is she starting to walk the same day she's leaving Biarritz?
We still have a problem with linking Paris to SJPdP in some short journey.
We are leaving SJPdP on 20th of august, but if we would still have a choice- we would go a month later (mainly because of the crowds). Weather should not be a problem for anyone- God loves us doing some crazy things for Him; I would go anytime if He'd tell me to.
Buen Camino!

As you guys said- no need to reconfirm, but I would strongly recommend to login to their website and check your flight 24 hours before departure. I'm using ryanair 6-8 times a year since 2004 and it happened to me 2 or three times, that my flight departure have changed (for one day earlier than...
Ryanair buses are leaving from their doorstep- just outside the arrivals (or from above the train station). Reclaim your baggage and go straight ahead using closest door to the outside bus stop. There should be few members of staff waiting to assist you.
Safe journey.
