Ship to SJPP

[TomS]

Is it possible to ship some items to SPP and pick them up when you get there when you start the camino?

I stayed at Maison Donamaria B&B (Jean-Francois Rabeux) about 60 Euros/night with breakfast and I was treated wonderfully by the owner whom has an Irish girlfriend and he speaks excellent English...Jean-Francois was also very helpful in helping me assemble my mountain bike...and my room even had a private courtyard below to assemble and store my bike...so if you rent a room and ask if you can ship ahead of your arrival I am sure Jean-Francois would provide assistance.

Thanks Kurt. We will be spending the night in Bayonne to get rid of jet-lag and will just be passing through SJPP. I was looking for a way to have it sent to a Post Office somehow. I'm not sure if that's even a possibility.

Thanks. Looks like they will hold packages for 15 days. That should work.

I found the Thread Title "Ship to SJPP" a bit misleading.
It gave me false hope that finally there is a more appropriate and prestigious way for me to arrive at the start of the Camino.

What hotel are you using. I am having a hard time getting a return confirmation for my Hotel in May. Any hotel names very close to the train station? I've been trying to get the Hotel Monaco to confirm.

I was trying to reserve Hotel Le Monte Carlo which is across from the train station. After a couple weeks of no replies, I booked IBIS Bayonne Centre. It's not as close to the train station as Le Monte Carlo (They ended up replying after I booked IBIS; they were on a 2 week winter hiatus).

They did get back to me to say that they only had a single room with bathroom in the hallway. I told them that i was happy with that and please confirm. No answer. I will be by myself and nervous and just wanted to be across the street from the Train station. That would make it kind of hard to get lost, even for me. Can you walk to the other hotel from the train station? Thanks for your help.

There are 2 IBIS hotels in Bayonne. The IBIS Gare is close to the train station. The one we are staying at is farther out along the river and a longer walk to the train station (maybe half mile). Google maps has a few other hotels near the train station. I probably didn't care for the reviews so we chose elsewhere.
