Even though caminos are a no go for us all right now, I am still enjoying this forum! The comraderie is comforting. Perhaps a past pilgrim would like to start a new thread with favourite memories and funny stories from their camino which could keep the momentum going until we can get to Spain...
Yes, my travel agent had notified me of this...but I thought I'd prefer a refund than a travel voucher that must be used within 12 months. It's doubtful I'll get this amount of leave from work again in the next 12 months. But still, it is a pretty good alternative so I'm not complaining!
That's interesting! I was due to fly out of Melbourne on the 27th March (with Qatar). I'm leaving it as late as possible to cancel/reschedule my flight in the hope the airline will cancel and I'll be refunded. Glad it worked out for you! Sometimes procrastination pays off! :)
Yep, the WHW was going to be my alternative. Not being a camper, I contacted hostels, but so many are already booked up. My dates coincided with the UK school hols which doesn't help. Looks like and amazing walk but, like the camino, it will be another time for me.
Thanks to the moderators for recommending people postpone their camino. That can't have been easy. It takes a difficult decision away for many of us. I hope the small businesses that rely on pilgrims will be ok, and of course, thoughts are especially with all who have contracted the virus. Today...
