Hi, just received some photos of the Camino Frances taken only a couple of days ago - it certainly IS crowded this year.

First photo is the little train from Biarritz to St Jean, the second is the refugio swimming pool at Puente la Reina, and the last one is of the Santiago Cathedral plaza!

Could we name the image of the Santiago Cathedral Plaza Where's Ivar?

I read the thread title and bit the hook.

And then things got much more fun.
Thank you David.

Oh my word. Too funny, David! Your brain cracks me up.

Hilarious, David! And, what’s more, in the first two photos they all appear to be having a fantastic time. I notice, however, that they have sobered up somewhat by the time they get to Santiago. Yeah, that sounds about right . . . .

Photo #2 reminds me of the Songkran festival in Thailand.

The Scandinavian pilgrims don't bother with swimming costumes!

Fantastic, David!

I went from "Oh Oh?" when I read the heading, to "Ha, ha, ha" (and more!) when I read the post!

Cheers and thanks for the laughs!

Good one David, having spent 3 months each year in India since 2006, I can attest to these crowd....nice to see you back.

Yeah, but that last stretch from Sarria was pretty crowded last year

This made me spurt my morning coffee out through my nose. Still tittering.

Nicely done David! I especially like the perspective, "so many people to meet!"

MaxfromMO · May 28, 2016

That is just too, too funny.

Or do you prefer Cromwell's attitude? Put your trust in God and keep your powder dry. I am starting to get tired of the attitude that it isn't necessary to take reasonable care and thought...

Hello all. Here to give a brief account of my (and many others) first day on the Camino on May 1. The trip to Roncesvalles was tough. I went Valcarlos route because napoleon was very ill advised...

I struggle with social anxiety and I was wandering if anybody with the same issue had a positive experience on the Camino walking alone. I saw lots of posts and videos people talking about forming...

I am currently walking the Camino Frances with my parents and am enjoying every moment. I brought some euros with me and loaded money onto a cash passport as I thought this would be safe...

I am wondering how you disconnect, in part, from the world. I have a couple of reasons that I need to be accessible but, I don't want to be constantly connected on this journey. Ideas?

Hello, I have reserved a night in an Albergue and the confirmation says Fecha de entrada: 2024-06-05. In the UK we would write this as 05-06-2024, is that what this means, 5th June 2024, I am...
