Hi Rosina

That's great news about the  internet as we hope to send back
information to our church on there web site . My son and myself leave
after mass today to fly to Bilbao with eastjet and then tomorrow  go by
train to
Shaugrin to start our walk on 27th we hope to do the 240? miles  in two
weeks  and spend a few day at the end in Santiago before
 getting the train  back to Bilbao which takes a day .
we have booked our Plane/hotel first night /train all on the internet
and after reading all the information you and others have  given re
looked at our packing list( after finding out my brivery weighed 11/2lb
)we joined CSJ and that has been great for lots of information and there
Camino guide  I will also be taking the John Brierley book which has
some great daily walking maps in .

God Bless
