Hi!
After much consideration I've decided to walk Camino Frances from St Jean to Santiago.
I'm coming from Hong Kong and will be landing in Paris at 6am. I'll then catch the TGV to Bayonne, and upon arrival, ran to the next platform within 7 minutes to catch the TER to St Jean Pied de Port and hopefully arrive at St Jean around 5pm.
I'll definitely stay the night at St Jean, after 24 hours of continuous travelling.
I have some questions:
- How long does it take for the walk between St Jean to Orisson? I plan to start as late as possible and would like to stay over at Orisson. I'm 30+, have not trained specifically for the walk but hike occasionally.
- Lista de Correos:
miscellaneous-topics/topic3992.html
Is this service still available? Can I send stuff from overseas and expect the package to be there for me when I show up?
- November:
I would be arriving at Santiago in mid-Nov, most probably. Would the refugios still be opened towards the last stretch on the camino? I'm taking a leave-it-up-to-God approach, but some extra info would be greatly appreciated.
- Also, any comment with regard to the weather? I seem to be packing everything I have from spring to winter and having a little problem to keep the pack light.
Buen Camino,
Joseph
