I strongly suggest Orisson however it might be too late to book a bed. I don't recommend going the long route to Ronesvalles. If you cannot get a bed you can always take a taxi back to st-jean from orisson then start again the next day a Orisson (cab). The reason I say to not go the full length...
hmmm Wonder if a "Marriott Camino Pilgrim Lodge & Spa" would work, you know , 5 star Restaurant, ATM, auto -passport stamp station . massage parlor " < joke .. :)
Sabbott , I feel your pain "Literally" ,Ive been 2x on the Camino in two years ( 2014 & 2016) and have made it all the way to Logrono from St Jean. ( being facetious here) , My left knee has stopped me both times because of arthritis and injury . I finished an operation & rehab a couple...
Third times a charm? Hope so as Sept 2018 will be my third attempt starting in Logrono . My name is Joe and I live in Arkansas. The first two attempts resulted in knee and back injuries. 1st time 2014 St Jean to Los Arcos, then 2016 Los Arcos to Logrono. my 71 yr old knee is healing nicely...
Third time a charm? I hope so . I have two trips (2014 & 2016) and both times injuries shut me down . 2014 L5 bundle crunch , 2016 left knee gone (actually its still there but not doing knee stuff) , 2017 May operation and 3 months recovery getting focused for 2019 for my 72nd birthday gift ...
Twice Ive been to Albergue Izar and both times I was treated wonderfully by the owner Sonya .
The first time was when I injured my leg and upon checkout was waiting for a ride to take me to B&B for a couple days rest . She let stay in the community room until my ride came to get me a 3pm. The...
4 miles east of Logroño and I see these black clouds and an occasional strike of lighting. The path behind me is as open as this.
I make a note : Next time bring a shovel for digging storm shelter — in Logroño.
Ive been booking ahead . I have to as I'm limping along with a bum knee. However even calling ahead i often get " Sorry , no possible"
In Viana Monday the single group was large and filled the place (albergue Izar ). Very nice owner btw .
Im a one village to the next walker ,If I get rejected...
Don't! If you want to be spontaneous go to the beach. The Camino needs to be taken seriously in regards to physical capabilities.
Hold off... read read read and watch you tube. Know what your walking into. Then decide wisely.

Believe me I care as much as every good person here who...

Same here dougfitz . My CPAP can be separated into two separate sections one section holds water the other section the main one. I take the main section which doesnt weight much .its the electronic convertor that provides the weight ..
I hear the airdrop for the SJPdP 900 was successful. Bagettes , mattress's and Pilgrims Passes landed without issue. Wine however cannot be had at any price.
Time to sign off . Heading out tomorrow so Best of Luck to all of you on your Camino . I've enjoyed managing this thread and have met many great Pilgrims . Hope to see you on the path . Buen Camino Peregrinos!!
Joe
