Buses

[John Topping]

Kia Ora Dale,
Greetings from home, Aotearoa, New Zealand.  My husband John and I are
walking the Camino beginning in Roncevalles on or around April 20th, taking
34 or 35 to make the journey.  Hopefully, we will be finishing around the
time you begin!  Best of luck with your planning!
Kia Kaha!
John & Marion Topping,
Tauranga,
New Zealand.
