I'm just wrestling with the Easter issue and would welcome people's ideas, especially you wise old hands..! I've been getting excited about setting out (for the first time) from St Jean Pied de Port on the path to Santiago; you know, getting my stuff together, doing a bit of 'training', and dreaming of the open road (or camino), and my birthday on April 17th.. I've booked my ferry ticket from Devon where I live (yes, I know I should/could be walking..) to Santander on March 28th, and would probably be setting out from SJPP on the 31st, or maybe April 1st.. straight into Easter! I like people, I want to share my journey with people.. but not hordes! I hope that I will have, at least, a little time for contemplation!! Easter in Spain sounds great.. does it?? But now I'm starting to think that perhaps I should hold back a week (the ferry only sails on sundays), leave SJPP on Apil 7th or 8th, and follow behind the madding crowds.. Please tell me what you think.. and say hello.. Roy
