Hi Everyone,
I'm planning my first Camino next year and was hoping to find some like minded or experienced Aussies and Kiwis to give me some tips and advice. I'm in the budgeting stage and would like to hear from you as to how much money to set aside for the albergues and food everyday ? I plan to do the Camino Frances, so would 35 days be enough ? Or should I schedule in some rest days ? I'm keen to find out how you guys went about it. I'm reasonably fit, in my mid 40s and I'm starting a training regime soon. I'm lso keen to know if any of you had a training regime and what it was.
Also, did you do the self guided tours ? I plan on carrying minimal luggage and don't plan on using the baggage transfer option. Did you use a travel company ? Or did you book your flight tickets and then just took a chance on the Albergues every night ? Was it easy to get in ?
So many questions....... more to come. Any advice will be much appreciated.
Cheers
Liz
