Luggage Transport from SJPP to Santiago

I have nothing but great things to say about the bagage transport company called Express Bourricot. We flew into Paris before catching a train to SJPP and decided to spent four days in Paris before starting our adventure and ending with four days in Barcelona. We took along nice clothes for Paris and Barcelona (didn´t want to wear our well worn pilgrims clothes) thinking we could ship them to Santiago via the local post office. Boy, what a mistake. The local post office didn´t open till well pass our 5:30am start time. Too excited about starting the Camino, this never crossed our minds about the post office being closed. Well, our excellent hosts at the L´Esprit du ChemiN (a hostel I also highly recommend in SJPP) suggested we use Express Bourricot. (http://www.expressbourricot.com) Caroline was very friendly, helpful and saved our day. About three weeks into our hike, myself and one other from our group of four became injured and needed to rest our swollen and blistered feet, and knees and took a train to Barcelona to wait for the others to finish. Long story short - Caroline was able to get our luggage going to Santiago rerouted to Barcelona. It arrived in Barcelona in a few days safe and sound. I can not say how much I appreciate her for doing this for us and highly recommend her and her company.
