We are arriving into St. jean at 530pm by train. Our hotel does not offer the passport but said another local hostel does. What time do the hostels close? We wanted to start early the next day but are unsure if we can get the passport in the late evening the night before.

All the best,
Buen Camino

If you have accommodation booked it may be a good idea to get something to eat and drink while the crowds from the train go to the Pilgrim Office, get processed and find somewhere to stay. Then there might be a nice quiet gap before the next train arrives.

They're great at that office, and even arriving at peak time it's not exactly a nightmare. Just a bit of hanging around...buying shells...etc. :D

Buen Camino!

I went into the pilgrim office right after getting off the train. It was pandemonium. Two hosts and 12 pilgrims speaking six languages all at once. The office is only big enough for 4 people who are close friends. We were ushered next door and asked to wait so I popped down the street and bought a couple bottles of wine. That was a language everyone spoke and it made the atmosphere quite jovial.
