- Time of past OR future Camino
- February/March (2013)
Hello Everyone,
My 13 year old daughter and I will be arriving in late February for our first Camino. We will have a long day ahead of us having to take 4 airplanes, 2 shuttle busses and a train to reach St. Jean Pied de Port. I'm sure we will be excited and exhausted all at the same time.
My question is: Due to the lengthy time travelling to get to St. Jean Pied de Port, with the time change differences, etc, should we spend ONE or TWO nights in St. Jean Pied de Port? I'd hate to start the Camino and twist an ankle or something because we are tired. I've heard that the first part of the Camino can be rough so we need to be alert and excited to walk.
Also, there have been several conflicting weather reports for the end of February to March. Will a fleece be enough or do I need to pack wool leggings, etc.? I'm just trying to pack extremely light but make the right choices.
Thanks for your replies!
