Forever Pilgrim
Time of past OR future Camino
2009-2022: CFx6, CP, VdlPx2, Mozarabe, more later.
Yesterday: Decision day.

Fully vaccinated, incl. booster, and infection rates sinking everywhere, I told my better half that I will take a walk this spring, and received an OK (After 2 years of sitting off this pandemic, I suspect OK was easy to give..)

Today: Booking day.

Plane ticket booked: 130 Euros to Barcelona. Leaving Arctic Norway (Tromsø, with Norwegian airline) at 6.30, change of plane in Oslo, Arriving in barcelona 12.55; only 6 hours to cross Europe: Unbelievable!

That gives me 2.5 hours to get to Saints train station. Plenty of time.

Train ticket: 30 Euros. Leaving Saints at 15.30 for a 3h20m. nice train ride to Pamplona, arriving at 19.20. Scedules found on www.rome2rio.com. Taxi to a pre-booked hostel in Pamplona, and relaxing with some pinxtos & a glass of red.

PS: I am not pre-booking train tickets: This time of year, they will have seats. Also, I am 60+, so I can buy a Carta Dorada, (Gold card) for 6 Euros, which will give me a 25% discount on mostly all train travels in Spain or a full year.

Day 0: Travel day.

March 29, 6.30 AM

To be continued.

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
At that day I'll be on the Camino already, wich is a pity, because I will lose the oportunity to drive you from the airport to Sants Station and have a beer talking about your Camino:D
Anyway, I'm glad you're walking again!

Too bad! Thanks for the thought!
 
New Original Camino Gear Designed Especially with The Modern Peregrino In Mind!
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
Have a good trip. I'm heading for Leon in June, so we won't meet up, but here's wishing you buen camino.
 
Are you sure you don't want to take a short bus ride from Pamplona to SJPP and take a walk to Roncesvalles, @alexwalker ? Even without a backpack. It's so beautiful up there! You won't regret it. And you can stop in Borda which has so many great reviews and the owner is a chef! You would certainly admire great food surrounded by this beautiful nature 🐴🐮🐎🐄!

Gorgeous photos.
I'm pretty sure Alexwalker has walked this route... probably many times :)
He's been "around the block" a time or 20, and has been walking the Camino since 2009.

Thanks for the tip: Been there, done that. I am a Norwegian: I see mountains every day. I even own a couple.:cool:
