    Having a paper trail could help, ie: receipts from restaurants etc, and pay with your card so you have reliable bank records..

    Long term visa for Europe?

    If taking the Ferry to Calais all passport checks and stamps are carried by French authorities in Dover, then when you arrive in Calais you just head off, being a Canadian I presume it will be the same.. Some ferry companies don’t allow pedestrians but if you have a bicycle you’re ok...

    Communal dinner in SJPP somewhere that I'm not staying?

    Maybe you can cancel your booking ?? If not maybe forego it and book somewhere that has communal meals, in my opinion it would be worth it as the people you meet on your first night in St Jean are often the people you’ll bump into for the next 4 weeks..

    Jeans on the camino

    If you’re lucky with the weather you’ll only wear shorts, unlucky and you’ll need trousers and waterproofs. It’s as simple as that,.. Jeans??? no chance but it’s up to you..

    You begin the process at the Spanish consulate in your home country, a lot depends on your age, employment qualifications, income, nationality, accumulated wealth, pension, ability to speak Spanish, health insurance.

    Pyrenees difficulty

    If you’re concerned about fitness then stay at orrison. You’ll probably get there at lunchtime which is enough for your first day. It’s a beautiful place and very easy to talk to new friends, after evening dinner they have a very sociable introduction session which basically means you stand up...

    LIVE from the Camino Losing motivation after believing you can finish

    Go to the beach for a few days, have a swim, relax and eat a bit. If you return and finish then good for you, if you go home then good for you..

    Sleeping bag versus puffy blanket

    It really depends where you intend to sleep. If you’re in private Albergues you won’t need to carry any bedding at all, some may disagree..

    Portuguese Currency / ATM / Credit Card use

    I’d suggest you find the best buying rate for the euro (cash) before you depart and buy yourself 10 or 15 €100 notes, depending on what you think you might need. Portugal is a very safe country and if you take the usual precautions you’ll be fine.. take a couple orf cards for backup..

    A necessary skip along the Norte, seeking recomendations

    I walked the Norte last September and I was always taking detours and sidestepping to various places of interest. My trusted thumb got me numerous lifts, I never had to wait more than a couple of minutes and met lots of locals who were very interested in my Camino. I know it’s not for everyone...

    Orisson question

    If your friends strongly prefer to stay in their bubble throughout the Camino they’ll be looking at private albergue and small hotels, that’s going to need a bit more organising with reservations etc..

    Starting from SJPDP on 7 April 2022

    Great plan, plenty of time too. Your first two days might go tits up because of the weather but you’ll still manage it via the lower route, good luck..
