Definitely impressed now! I have 2 grandsons just over 4 and was going to walk with them when they are 9 or 10 but I thought that at 73 I would be pushing it!! If grandpa was 80 then there might be some hope for me! They talk about the Camino. Could it be that I am brainwashing them a bit too soon!! Well done all of you.Hi Jandoraa!
Here I am, that KiwiMama Laurie told you about! If I can be of any assistance, feel free to PM me. But may I start by allaying your fears. you will have no trouble staying in albergues. In over three months worth of camino nights we have only been forced to use private accommodation once, and that in a town that the municipal albergue was closed for renovations. And as Laurie said, for some of our trip we were a group of eleven people (two parents, one Grandpa in his eighties and eight kids - who have walked sections of the camino from as young as 6 - I have no experience younger than that other than walking in NZ with them from babyhood)
You're going to love it (and probably have moments that you hate it - but those happen at home too, right?) Perhaps the best thing is that you might not even end up thinking about your kids as "kids" but as "fellow pilgrims" - that's how ours were universally addressed (but then given an extra portion of admiration because of their age - and chocolate bars and peanuts and cakes and and and)
Hello Jandoraa, my family and l are walking next May 2016. Thank you for asking the question the responses have been fantastic. Enjoy your walk.Hello,
My partner and I had planned to walk the Camino starting September 14th in Astorga, as that,s where he left off when he last walked it. We had to cancel our tickets, sadly, so I'm starting to plan again for next year. The good news part of this is we received a full refund, not a credit, from the airline as they had made changes to our flights. The not so good news is we didn't get to go to Spain this year.
For next September I'm thinking we may walk with my three children ages 17,13 and 11. Is there a particular section in this forum related to waking with children? I tried doing some searches, but I only found a few threads related to families walking together. I'm curious about staying in albergues with children and wondering if that is even possible. I'm not sure of the costs of always staying in private rooms, but I'm pretty sure that's just too expensive.
Any information people have to share is appreciated.
Thanks,
Jandoraa
