Hi ya all!! I am leaving Sept 6 to walk the Camino Frances. Is it necessary to order my Credential before I go or can I get it easily enough at SJPP? I am flying to Paris from Vancouver, then the fast train down to Bayonne, then bus from there? So should be on the road about the 10. Travelling alone and I go from excitment to terror in 10 sec flat. Any last words of advice? What about plug in's, with all the people sleeping in the same place will there be a place to recharge my camera? should I bring an extra battery? cathy

Dear Cathy,

You can get your credential in SJPP at the pilgrim's office. They'll also give you information on distances and elevation and albergues along the Camino. Once you get to Bayonne, there is a train that takes you to SJPP; you'll probably make your first friend on that train! DOn't take any extra batteries, you'll be able to recharge your camera quite easily along the way. Have fun (I'm jealous)

Hi Cathy -
I'm also traveling through Bayonne and plan to start walking on the 11th. Likewise, I have many ups and downs of excitement and taking care of things at home before I leave. I'm actually traveling for 3 months through Spain, which is allowing me to take my time on the Camino and fully enjoy the experience.

Cathy:

Pack light, start slowly maybe stay at Orisson the first night and the Camino will take care of the rest.
