Can well remember that feeling. Savour it and every moment of your Camino.

All the best with your planning don't forget to factor in some recovery from jet lag time.

Ditto what Wayfarer said, I walked Sept/Oct and it was gorgeous. Whether you be a down under Perth, a Highland Perth or an Canadian Perth, warmest welcome to the forum.

Thanks and yes will be mindful of the dreaded jet lag

I'm jealous and I just got back 3 weeks ago!

I love September as a time of year for the walk and have had good to great weather for 3 years on the trot - this year I started a week earlier (leaving SJPdP on 15/9) and hit one of the busiest periods and was one week later than a heat wave that had passed through the Meseta.

Although busy, there was always room to be had in the municipal Albergues which couldn't be booked ahead and I found I walked so that I could start looking for a bed about 2pm which also gave me a good wind down.

Enjoy the life changing experience and your Camino Family when you get there.

If you are near the Blue Mountains in Australia we meet for a Pilgrim dinner and great conversation on the last Friday of most months and you would be most welcome - facebook "Bluemountainscamino"

Enjoy planning it and give yourself plenty of time to do the walk.

If you looking for a great place to kick off your Camino and rest up for a day we have stayed here a few times. Jean François is a great host. His breakfasts are legendary. A short walk out of town right on the river. Not the cheapest option but just an amazing place to start.
