day 0 of the camino
Don’t worry, we don’t plan to bombard your inbox/reader newsfeed every day with a day-by-day summary of our Camino.
Depending on how it goes and subject to wifi capabilities, we will share occasionally on this blog where we are at, with some photos! However, the plan is to share a Camino Diary elsewhere for those who may be interested. So we will attempt to post a short video at the end of each day on our FB page and share a more daily personal (and possible raw) reflection from both of us on our other blog.
In addition, a note to all the blogs we follow and regularly read/like/comment, if we are quiet, please don’t think you have lost us. We will not likely have the time to do our reading after a long day’s walk but we will see how we go 🙂
Anyway, we are here in St Jean Pied de Port and will be walking the 25 km on Day 1. It has been a really lovely day and although it hasn’t officially started for us, we have already met a few people from around the world! There is such a wonderful sense of community!
Time for bed and let’s see what tomorrow holds! Next time you hear from us, we will be in Spain 🙂

[…] After the very brief stop in Paris, we went south to Bayonne before winding up in St Jean Pied de Port. There we started our epic 800 km walk of the Camino. […]

25 K, a healthy walk indeed. I look forward to the stories. Might be something Peggy and I would like to do. –Curt

I’ll bet. Is it an inn to inn type trek? Most of my long distance travel has been carrying a backpack or bicycle camping. Always wondered about the inn to inn. Are you traveling alone or with a group? –Curt

We are travelling just the two of us but it was organised through a company where they porter our bags onwards and it is an inn-to-inn type of walk! After today, we are going to struggle tomorrow! 😉

Don’t think my comment decided to post. If it did, my apologies for the repetition. My questions were whether you are going from inn to inn and whether you are traveling solo or with an organized group? And I’ll bet you are excited. –Curt
