Calling home

[Artemis]

My sister and I are leaving in less than 2 weeks and will be gone for 2 months. We need some way to call home occasionally without taking a cell phone with us. I thought there was some mention of international phone cards but have done a search and can't find anything. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Also we are flying into London and then to Bordeaux where we will stay for 2 nights before we start walking from Bordeaux. I have tried to research this route online for albergues, maps etc. but haven't come up with as much information as I would like and much of it seems to be outdated. If anyone has any information to share we would appreciate that also.
Thanks,
Artemis

Thanks Ivar, that's just what I needed.

Even without phonecards I found that international rates from payphones along the way were pretty cheap
