Starting in SJPDP on September 13

[danielle aird]

This will be my 4th time on the Camino. I have never done the whole thing yet but hope to do it all this time. I will skip one section - either Pamplona to Burgos or Burgos to Leon but it is so hard to choose because I love it all. I fly iinto Pamplona arriving Sept 12 and will bus to SJPDP. Will I see any of you there?

We're arriving in Pamplona on the 12th at 6:30pm but staying the night there and heading to SJPP the next day so we'll start on the 14th.

I assume you start in Saint-Jean. On the 12th, I will be sleeping at Gite Bidean; I booked it on bookings.com. I am also booked for Orisson on the 13th and for Roncesvalles on the 14th... Taking the bus from Pamplona on the 12th at 2:30 pm. See you, maybe...

Hello Danielle,

I will be 67 years old on the 13th! Doing my first Camino, I arrive in SJPP on the 11th, having flown from Calgary. I will be staying outside of SJPP at Chambres d'hotes Esponde Marie-Jeanne for two nights. I too am booked at Orisson for the 13th and Hostal Rural Haizea for the 14th.

Betty, I have looked up Chambres d'hotes Esponde Marie-Jeanne but it shows it in Saint-Jean-Le-Vieux which is about 4 k from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port. I wonder what made you decide to stay there rather than in St-Jean-Pied-de-Port? And I wonder if your path takes you past St-Jean-Pied-de-Port? btw Happy Birthday in case I don't meet you on the 13th.

Hello Danielle, I had booked a dorm bed in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port then I read on the forum that given it was my first Camino it would be better to stay in a hotel and get a good sleep. When I went to change my reservation Saint-Jean-Le-Vieux was one of the few places available. Since I arrive on the 11th I think it will be good to have time to get "acclimatized" etc. and I won't mind the walking back and forth. If I don't see you before I will see you at Orisson for sure.

You will love it so much, you won't want to leave. Take it from a 71 year old addict! Buen Camino.

[/QUOI am sorry you lost your dog. Good luck with the Camino. I walked with a couple from Buckfastleigh last year. Not too far from you. They love it. They come each year for two weeks at a time. See you on the Camino maybe.
