Hi René, Please don't let fear stop you from walking the Camino. I am a nervous traveller - so much so that I have yet to visit Paris (which I wil fly into again in 6 months time - for the third time) or any of the other big cities in Spain. Yet, I have walked 1,200 kms from Toulouse and 1,600 kms (roughly) from le Puy and am planning about 2,000 kms from Bar-Sur-Seine. Even though I am nervous about how I will cope I just put those thoughts aside and just go - once I am walking everything falls into place, and prior to departure lots of research about the path and what I will see helps to give me confidence.
I had planned to walk from Geneva to Le Puy this year, but because we Australians are only allowed to stay in this part of Europe for 90 days I have had to abandon that plan for the moment.
I hope that you do soon grasp the opportunity to walk the Camino and feel confident that you will really enjoy the experience. Regards, Janet
