A couple of questions.....

[grayland]

When walking in Spain, I always send a box or small suitcase on to Ivar when I arrive in Spain. This is for "after Camino" clothes as we usually hang around Europe for a bit after arriving in Santiago.

Does anyone have experience or a suggestion as to how this would be handled in Rome? I am not sure of a solid date of arrival in Rome...so a hotel may not be an easy choice.
I would appreciate any suggestions.

A second question would be regarding the Holy Door at St. Peters. I read somewhere that a reservation was required to walk through. It seemed that the date and actual time was necessary.
Is this a fact....and where and how is this reservation made?

Can I add, it's well worth registering and going through the entire route to the Holy Door from Castel D'Angelo.
I completed the VF this week, had pre-registered from home, and just completed my date request when I knew when I would arrive. However I helped some other pilgrims to register 'on the way' and it was an easy process.

Also regarding 'posting on' I stayed at
http://www.pellegriniaroma.org/atti...idenza-accoglienza-ospitalita-pellegrini-roma, they were from the Confraternity of St James, very helpful, and may either be able to help or suggest somewhere for you...
