Hi everybody, I discovered your wonderful site yesterday and I know it is going to be a great help to me. After years of "one day I´ll do it", I have finally decided next year is the year. I´m not getting any younger and I want to enjoy the Camino while I can. One of my problems will be equipment, I live in Brazil and don´t think I´ll be able to identify things as the brands are different. A lot of the stuff here is either trendy or more suitable for short hikes. This means I´ll be asking loads of questions so that I can buy the right things, since I don´t think I can leave it all until I get to Spain. I´m only going to ask a few questions at a time, so that I don´t become a nuisance! Just for starters, what exactly is a fleece?
I´m planning to start my walk in Roncesvalles and am wondering the best and cheapest way to get there. I´ll be flying from Brazil and can go to either Paris or Madrid (or other European capital for that matter). I have been most interested to read the "boots versus sandals" discussion. I am a sandal fan myself. I actually did the Inca Trail in sandals a few years ago, because my boots were too painful, so I intend to do the Camino in sandals or trainers, depending on the weather. By the way, I´m female, late fifties and walking alone (not really worried about that). Anyway, now I´ve introduced myself I look forward to hearing from you.
