    It’s an amazingly beautiful place. Glad we stayed an extra day.

    Is this a thing I can do?

    We’re here now with HOKA speed goats. I trained in a pair that I pretty much wore every mile and I probably could have brought them here and done well. Yes, they are getting slick now but, the new ones I’m using here will surely get me to Santiago and farther, based on my last pair.

    Camino Francés - Pamplona to Burgos?

    I would urge you to not bring a check bag. The passport control at Madrid airport was like nothing I’ve ever seen. Literally a couple thousand people in a room all trying to do the same thing. Crazy.. We would have missed our connecting flight to Pamplona if we had a checked bag. And from...

    We’re here SJPDP

    We’re in SJPDP now. Checked in at the pilgrim office yesterday and will start walking in the morning. I really love this town. We walked to the market and pharmacy a bit ago. Easy walk and well stocked grocery. The old church is a wonderful place to stop and get the mind right for Camino.

    What’s the weather forecast

    Is it warm enough to layer under my poncho and leave the puffy coat at home? The forecast I'm seeing is 39 (3.8 C) degrees and rain when I walk out of SJPDP.

    Cotton blend socks

    We fly out in 4 days. I’ve tried major branded socks, three brands, and can’t wear wool. It feels hot and makes my feet hurt for three or four days after. Walking in cotton blend toe socks.. I must be allergic to the wool.

    Question about Alsa bus tickets

    I got it to work. Yes, the passport number was what they wanted. Also downloaded the app for digital tickets. Thanks everybody!

    Question about Alsa bus tickets

    I was trying to buy an Alsa bus ticket on-line to take us from Pamplona to SJPDP. It ask for a "document" and document number? Passport isn't mentioned and it wont let me make a purchase without completing that portion. Can I just walk up and buy two tickets when we land in Pamplona?
