    What @MickMac said. I can add that I bought the ticket all the way on the 10:11 train. On Bayonne a bunch of us Pilgrims got "intercepted " as the next train was canceled and ushered outside and onto a parked bus which then took us to SJPdP

    I dropped a few pounds, too, but at the tail end of my Camino, I started having knee pain which continued to get worse after I returned home. It's mostly sorted now, following arthroscopic surgery in December. I'm still walking several miles a...
