- Time of past OR future Camino
- Twice walked from St Jean to Estella and once from Sarria to Santiago. Maybe someday I'll find the time to do the entire walk.
I've found the time. Just completed SJPP to Santiago. 25 Aug to 1st Oct, 2016.
And now the Portuguese from Lisbon.
I've just finished walking with two companions who had limited time. When we reached Leon we decided to take the train to Santiago and booked accommodation there.
We took a taxi from the station but the driver, despite having seen the address we wanted on a phone, left us miles from where we needed to be.
The consequence of this was the man who was to meet us when we arrived at our accommodation wasn't there and didn't answer any of our texts. We had to book an expensive hotel room.
Nothing like this has ever happened to us before and it made for a bad end to an otherwise good Camino.
The woman who booked the accommodation will be contacting booking.com about the property owners failure to appear.
