You have got thus far, Phoebe. Congrats. I wish you all the best for your Camino. Do give a shout from time to time so we can cheer you on! Buen Camino.Hello everyone!
I'm leaving from Barcelona today by train to Pamplona, then getting the bus straight to Roncesvalles. I think the bus should get me into Roncesvalles at around 8pm - should I ring the albergue and book ahead?
I am excited but also very nervous, I'm walking solo and have never done anything like this before. Any wise tips or words of encouragement would be hugely appreciated! This forum has provided so much useful info and has been an invaluable resource to a novice like me.
Thanks so much

Phoebe,where did you stay and eat last night?
Best wishes

Hi Stuart! I stayed at La Posada. I booked a private room which was a little expensive, but allowed me to relax and enjoy my journey to Roncesvalles without worrying about if the Albergue was full by the time I got there. It was lovely, and I enjoyed a pilgrim dinner for an extra €10 or so.

Phoebe,
Sounds like you made a good choice and you have settled in nicely.
Plenty of opportunities to get your Credential stamped I presume?
For a newcomer to the Camino,makes a lot of sense I would imagine to get your accommodation organised at least for some of the early stages.
Is it busier or less busy than you expected?
Buen Camino
Stuart
Phoebe,
Pleased to hear you are making such good progress.
I hope you don’t mind but I intend following your journey along the way as I will be starting my first Camino all being well at the same time of year but two years ahead in 2020,are you planning to go all the way to Santiago?.
Was the stage to Roncesvalles as you expected,seems to me that once you have that one ticked off you can with cope with anything that comes your way?
Thank you for taking the trouble to reply and look forward to further updates.

If I read her thread correctly she started in Roncavalles so her first stage would have been toward Zubiri/LarasonaPhoebe,
