Hello,
My name is Adam J Shaw, I'm from Blackpool but I live in St.Annes (next town to Blackpool but nicer to live in). I've just booked my flight to Bordeaux and my train to Saint Jean Pied De Port!
There are a couple of things I need help with. I've tried searching for the answers first but can't find what I'm looking for so I'm just gonna go ahead and ask here
Firstly, the Pilgrims Passport. Do I have to contact the pilgrims office in Saint Jean before I get there or can I just turn up on the day and get one? How exactly do I go about getting one? Are there any special requirements? Do you have to be a Christian? Do they ask questions?
And staying in Saint Jean. I'll be arriving in Saint Jean at about 18:30 so I'll be needing somewhere to stay. Is it advisable to book in advance or have I a good chance of finding somewhere on the day? Also, any recommendations? I'm on a budget though.
One more thing: has anybody done the Camino Frances and just stayed out under the stars (without a tent)? I'd like to try that. My friend lived in southern Spain though and he told me there are little scorpions and snakes. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Cordially,
Adam J Shaw
Postscript - Anybody going on the 30th of July setting off from Saint Jean?
