NOT walk!
When the cat's away, the mice will play.
And if they want to eat, they'll need to do some cooking too;-)

Well, I think $960. But I booked multi-city (Perth-Dublin; Madrid-Perth) for $2100 all up, that's for both of us.
They had to be booked before Jan 3rd.
It's hard to reconcile that a full price return Carnarvon-Perth costs well over $900

There's no doubt - it's a real bargain. And I find flying through Doha very convenient.

Son No2. advised me today that UK to NZ can be got for 750$NZ, It's with Air China so no doubt you will suffer from terminal boredom waiting for a connection but hey! You'll need all the downtime you can handle before the Camino

Scoundrels! You go to book the $1,200 fare and it’s “not available”.
However now we’re looking and there might be some shoulder season ones for $1,400 so we may just have to walk in October rather than September. Will need sleeping bags on the Primitivo and hope there’s enough daylight (8am - 6pm) to walk 30km and still get clothes dry.

Chris,
You should be able to get it by ''right-click'' on the dancing banana and ''copy image'', then ''paste'' it somewhere where you can retrieve it.
Cheers,
JM

Thanks, I'll try, but may have to do it differently as I only use my android phone for the forum.

Great news, Mama Kiwi. Even if you have to postpone it, oh well, what's one more month! The first time I walked the Primitivo it was October and it was quite lovely! Snow in far away mountains made a beautiful backdrop. I was never really cold, and I am quite a friolera. Buen camino, Laurie

Also 'save image' works so long as you know how to select the image and where your phone saves images.

Buen camino(s) Kiwi mama and family
