[QUOTE="Deleted member 67185, post: 644987"] Hi, and a warm welcome to the Forum :) The local Pilgrim Chapter is always a good source for your Credencial (passport). They will also fill in the relevant information inside the Credencial for you. American Pilgrims On the Camino also have [URL='http://www.americanpilgrims.org/frequently-asked-questions-faqs-']a terrific FAQ [/URL]on their website. You can also [URL='http://www.americanpilgrims.org/request-a-credential']order your Credencial online[/URL], and it will come to you, filled out with your information, in a timely fashion. A good option to go from Biarritz airport to SJPdP is the [URL='https://www.expressbourricot.com/']Express Bouricott shuttle[/URL]. It is comfortable and quick. It is popular and quickly fills up the closer to your departure date your are, so [URL='https://www.expressbourricot.com/contact-and-booking/']make a reservation[/URL] ASAP if you want to use their services. Use booking.com to look at lodgings in SJPdP. September is a busy tourist and pilgrim month, and a quick scan shows that lodging is quickly filling up throughout that month. I would book reservations ASAP for St Jean. A lot of pilgrims have enjoyed [URL='http://makila-saintjean.com/en/']Gite Makila[/URL] and [URL='http://www.beilari.info/en']Beilari[/URL], but there are a good number of decent lodging choices in St. Jean. Pre-booking accomodations is not really necessary, and can get in the way of your daily walk: if you pre-book, you will have a set place to be at night and you don't have the flexibility to change your mind if you find that you want to walk longer or shorter that day. Outside of SJPdP, Orisson (if you want to stay there) and Roncesvalles, I wouldn't do any pre-booking before starting your trip. If you decide that you wish to break up the first stage into Roncesvalles by staying at Refuge Orisson, you need to secure a reservation ASAP. [URL='http://www.refuge-orisson.com/en/#contact']Contact Orisson here.[/URL] You can also [URL='http://www.alberguederoncesvalles.com/reservas.php']contact Roncesvalles Colegiate Albergue[/URL] for a reservation, which might be a good idea. Once you start your Camino, you will know how you feel and how far you are most likely to walk on a day-to-day basis. If you find that, at the end of a day that you want to reserve a place for the next night, then you can use a booking.com type of app on your smartphone to easily do so. Also, keep in mind that if you find all lodging full at your day's end stop, you can take a taxi to the next town. Then the next morning, take a taxi back to the location you had stopped the previous day to continue your Camino. Camino is primarily a cash economy. Most pilgrims will carry 300 to 400 Euros, then when they are down to 50 to 100 Euros they will use a debit card to withdraw more Euros from an ATM. Use the Forum search engine for information on ATMs, debit cards, currency exchanges and fees, etc. These topics have been covered extensively, so the search engine will provide the information you need. It will also help your research on most other concerns as well :) The search engine function is at the top of the page and to the right in the menu bar. [/QUOTE]
