Walking the Camino Frances June-July 2006

Hello all!
My name is Eimear and I'm a 19 year old student, planning to walk the Camino Frances from 22nd June to 10th July this year.
Our route begins in Lourdes; from there we transfer to St. Jean Pied du Port to begin the Camino. Unfortunately because of time, we will be skipping from Pamplona to Burgos by train, stopping in Burgos and then skipping on to Leon. From Leon, we walk to Ponferrada and then skip to Sarria to walk the last stretch of the Camino. We didn't have time to walk the whole Camino, but we really wanted the experience of walking through the Pyrenees, so this was what we came up with! Our flights are already booked, so I'm all excited, even though it's months away!
Does anyone have any experience of Spanish buses? I hear they're not bad.
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
Taking buses

Me and my husband have been taking buses to and fram the Camino for 3 years, and are very pleased with it. Madrid - Pamplona, Burgos - Madrid, Barcolona - Burgos, Santander - Leon, ... and more ... Its cheap and comfortable, especially on long distances (but a bit noisy). Be aware that on the long distances you, in a way, buy a concrete seat, with a number. Buses in Spain are OK, yes!
