Now that is so cool, to see your journey from when to started your day and see how you end your first day walking. Thank you, the info is great.
Thank you!
I am going to start my Camino on September 11 this year. It looks like the weather is a lot colder than I thought. I probably need to adjust my packing. Thanks for the videos.
The singing inside the church as you set off absolutely gave me chills. Enjoy your Camino...every single minute of it! God Bless you along your journey.
I have been so blessed by special moments all along the way! Can’t plan for these things! 😊👣❤️
Utterly adorable. I love your approach: present in the moment, not racing to a destination. This video leans me towards doing the camino.
Yes! My exact thoughts! I didn't even know Orrison was a spot. Most of the other videos I've seen people spend the whole day going through the Pyrenees
Loving your videos. Enjoy every moment! Much love, Tam
Thanks for your support, beautiful lady! 😊🙏👣❤️❤️
Orisson..such a wonderful place.....loved my stay there!!....in june 2018..had same wonderful weather....dinner with my newfound camino family ,,,,,and the moon after dinner...omg brought tears to my eyes..was exactly the same...i took so many pictures but didnt capture what my eyes saw!! thank you x the memories...
Just beautiful, wasn’t it? I’m now in your shoes and love reminiscing. The Camino was so special. ❤️
A nice informative video for the newbies! Thanks for making and sharing it. I've done the walk up to Orisson and the rest of the Camino in 2016. I too remember that feeling that "Surely we've gone far enough! It's got to round the next corner?" It seems to be far more than the two hours that the signpost says. Having said that Orisson is definitely worth stopping for. I wouldn't like to have to do the full jaunt to Roncesvalles in one hit. The weather over the top can be a real challenge not only in April but at any time of the year. The second part of the ascent is notorious for high winds.
I love that you went to church before you started walking. Congrats on a beautiful first day. Stay healthy and safe. God bless!
Thank you so much! I wouldn’t dream of starting my pilgrimage without first praying for a safe journey and thanksgiving for all my blessings. It was a beautiful day!
Watching from Australia, loving your vlog so far and hope to follow your journey to get clues for my own. Have a safe trip.
Thank you so much for watching and for your support! 👣🙏
And so it begins ! Buen Camino
Hello love your videos thank you for sharing your journey. Im hoping to plan a trip there.I’m trying to educate myself. Beautiful singing voice! I love that your so positive!
Buen Camino! Look forward to following you along your journey.
Thank you! 😊👣
Four minutes in and I already love this.
Gorgeous, just gorgeous. That moon! Isn’t it weird how the world shares the same moon, yet it looks so different from where you could be standing? Wonderful vlog.
Thank you. As you know, video/pics never do justice to the beauty of nature! ❤️
Thanks for a nice first-person perspective on the camino!
Thank you so much for watching! 👣
Fabulous, I had the exact bunk as you in St. Jean. I too found many walking friends at the Supper at Orisson.
Thank you for your videos. I’m will be doing my first Camino April/May 2020. Can’t wait!
Thank you so much for watching!! I’m so excited for you! Buen Camino!! 👣
900castillo Did you end up being able to go? I’m trying to find out if anyone is walking it in 2020.
I am doing my walk in June/July. So I am really enjoying your videos and am learning a lot. It is exciting watching you document your journey. You are such a great person. Its so easy to watch you.
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words! Enjoy the journey. Buen Camino!! 👣
I wish you a beautiful journey 🍀👍 buen camino!
Thank you so much! 🙏👣
What wonderful views and company. Buen Camino
Thank you! 😊🙏
Just saw your post on FB group and am going to follow your camino. I am walking this October. Thank you so much for this wonderful presentation
Thank you so much for following along! Hope you enjoy the journey and Buen Camino!! 👣
Nice scene inside the church in St Jean. I've walked the Francais more than once and each time I did I went to the church in St Jean and prayed for guidance and safety and when I got to Santiago I went inside the cathedral and gave thanks for completing the journey safely.
Yes, I found so much peace and comfort inside all the churches, big and small. Thank you so much for following along. Buen Camino. 🙏👣
meraviglioso....é il primo video che vedo con la cena comunitaria al rifugio Orisson..é incantevole tutto,grazie😍🙏❤
Grazie mille!! 😊🙏👣
@@IllGetThere ❤❤❤
Wow it looks like you got a beautiful day to cross over. Loved the hostel in Orisson. We met a couple there that hiked the entire way with us...all 55 days!
It was gooooooorgeous!!! ☺️❤️❤️ And the people along the way really shape your journey. Amazing connection you both made!!! 😃👍👣
A great start to your camino!
Thank you!! 🙏👣
Just happened to see your video as I’m planning to do my Camino next year, if all goes well. You are a beautiful girl with a beautiful, uplifting soul. Thank you for your vlog. Stay safe always
Thank you so much for your kind words! I hope you can make your Camino soon! Until then, be well and Buen Camino! 👣
Was not expecting the singing lol that was a lovely little surprise
Haha, thank you. 😅👣❤️
Wow! Wonderful video! Did you book your bed ahead of going? I am hoping to do the Camino when when I can... thanks
I booked at Orisson and Roncesvalles to make sure I had a smooth start. After that, I did reserve beds if I knew I would be arriving late into a town or if there were few accommodations. Even without reserving, I was able to find a bed somehow. It will work out in the end. 😊👣 Buen Camino!
I'm so happy to see your post, as I was wondering how you were doing. I'm planning on visiting as many of the churches as I can, next Spring, so I was especially happy to see the inside of the one in St. Jean Pied de Port. Thanks again for taking the time to share your journey with us.
What time did they serve dinner in Orisson?
There are PLENTY of churches! 😊 I believe dinner was around 7pm.
Hope you enjoy your Caminio in the spring.I’m walking it again this April. I did it in 2018 and from that experience I’ve written a novel about the Camino called The Catching of the Camino Wind. It is now available @Amazon.com in either paperback or e-book.
Where did you stay in Saint-Jean-de-Port? It seems like a really nice hostel. :)
Thank you.
I hope to begin my Camino in May of 2022. It was exciting that I came across your channel. Very inspiring, since I plan to walk on my own and do not want to rush my experience. I was not able to catch the name of the hotel you stayed at in Saint-Jean-de-Port. I am looking forward to the rest of your journey. Thank you for sharing. Muchos Bendiciones.....
Thank you so much! I stayed at Gite Makila in St. Jean. All of the lodging info should be in the description box of each video. I hope it has survived the pandemic. Be well and I hope you are able to walk your Camino, as planned! Buen Camino!
@@IllGetThere Thank you for your response. I must compliment you on your series. Very well planned out. I love your sense of humility and humor. Your journey is giving me more clarity as to how to prepare and feel safe as a woman making this pilgrimage alone. (Although not really alone). I look forward to completing your series. Muchos Bendiciones....
@@nanilafont Wonderful! I’m so happy the videos are helpful to you. I wish you well as you plan your journey and Buen Camino!
Another brilliant Vlog Rachelle...and what a beautiful (Morning) voice. Not sure if I am misreading your expression ( and my apologies if I am) but you looked a little sad sat on the decking at Orisson, like you were wondering if you would spend the entire Camino alone. I predict 7 days......... 7 days from now in a similar situation it will feel totally natural to approach a table that already has pilgrims on it and say 'HI Buen Camino, I am Rachelle from LA, how are you guys'........ Looking forward to the next installment :)
Thanks for watching! That climb was hot and exhausting and I was just pooped!!! Glad I stayed at Orisson-met wonderful people there that I keep running into. 😊👣
@@IllGetThere Rachelle, quick question if I may, the bus you took from Pamplona to St Jean, it looks like you left quite early, what time was it please, am looking myself at alsa but earliest departure listed is 11am, is that what you were on ? I wanted to try and do pamplona,st jean get my credential and go straight to Orisson in same day but thats looking unlikely if I can't find an earlier service
Soulsnot Smiles I believe the bus was at 10am and there is another one at 2pm or so. I took the morning one and made it just in time.
Love your video! How long that it take you to walk from Sjpp to Orisson? Thank you for sharing. Buen Camino.
Thanks so much for watching! I think it took me 3-4 hours. Got to Orisson pretty early, around 11:30 or so.
The distance is 8 km- uphill but really no big deal
Thanks excellent video ,just back from the camino also , personally i wouldnt see this as day 1 route (old disabled,unfit maybe) most of us used orisson as a break on the way to Roncesvalles 24.5 km away ,we had amazing weather and pushing ourselves (me and my ex both mid 50s) seemed a great way to ramp up our fitness and challange our comfort zones .
not that i advocate walking all day ,orrisson to Roncesvalles took us 6 hours and all the stages we would arrive lunch time ,early afternoon to get an alburgue and look around where we were ,churches ect.
Thank you so much for watching! And congrats on your Camino! Glad you enjoyed it and the physical challenge! I walked for many reasons and enjoyed some very short days (9km), some very long days (38km), and some very challenging routes (Ruta Dragonte). To me, there was a magic about the Orisson experience and I am so happy I stayed. That’s the beauty of the Camino-each person can experience it in a way that is fulfilling to them. 😊👣
i guess my comment was just to show to some who may be doing the route that Roncesvalles is possible but a challenge to the average person , your right that each person can experience it in a way that is fulfilling to them alot of people sent their packs on to the next stop ,to me it was a great lesson in decluttering ,you carry the burden you choose to add and question its value ,to me a valuable lesson .
Absolutely! Anything is possible. 😊 And I actually liked the challenge of carrying my pack everyday. Can’t wait to see what my next Camino (and there WILL be a next one!!) will be! 😄👍👣
@@IllGetThere I love your reply. Walk the Camino your own way is what I keep hearing. This absolutely qualifies as a day 1 route because it was so for you (and many, many others). There's enough rushing and gatekeeping in the world; we don't need it on the Camino!
I really couldn’t believe it so not only did we sleep in the same bed but I also had the same position at the table at Orisson, what are the chances?
I didn’t have a reservation in Arizona, and was happy and lucky that I was that able to stay in the room below yours ... the room wasn’t that great but I shared it with five other people.
I recall that it was much darker in the morning and I was so much darker when we had dinner again it was August 31, 2019 and I arrived in Santiago on October 6.it was quite the adventure and I can’t wait to do it again within the next few years. Cheers
Glad you were able to stay! It’s a wonderful place. 👣
Ha ha, I think I slept in the same bed on August 31 this year, when I started by Camino
My question to is: how did you get ready physically and mentally? How many months in advance should I start getting ready? Thank you
I enjoy hiking and found that to be good preparation physically. I also did a lot of research on what to bring, challenges to anticipate, and prayer for spiritual preparation. As for how long? I started really preparing a few months before, though many people take much more time and some, much less (or none-not recommended). Any preparation you can do is helpful but just take the Camino one day at a time.
Thank you for your response. I am watching your videos, which is giving me an idea what to expect. How did you pick your gears?
@@BB-cr3tl Trial and error--and LOTS of research! Check out my videos in my Camino Prep playlist for ideas on resources to help you plan your journey. Good luck and Buen Camino!
I will check it. One more thing, how safe did you feel going on your own?
B B I felt extremely safe! There are plenty of pilgrims along the way and people looking out for you once you reach your destination. But, as with any travel, take care to always be aware of tour surroundings and trust your gut.
Did u go alone? I am planning to go but little scare to go alone...
Yes! It was my first time traveling alone in a foreign country. And while I walked many days with different people, I walked the majority of it alone. But you’re never really alone! Tons of fellow pilgrims especially if you’re doing the Francés. It’s extremely safe, but you should still keep your wits about you. Don’t be afraid to tag along with other pilgrims even for part of a day if you feel uncomfortable. Listen to your gut. Happy to answer any other questions you have. It was one of the best things I have ever done and want to do another Camino soon. Have faith and Buen Camino! 👣❤️
Oh God, finally a woman!! Buen Camino
Thank you so much for watching!! Buen Camino! 👣
Rachelle,
Hi! I suscribed to your channel. I am enjoying your CdeS vids & comments. Very touching. Thank you for your comments. And inner thoughts. You are such a sweet, delicate & beautiful woman. By the way, are you Filipina? Thank you anyways for allowing us to see you go through this with your eyes and deep emotions. God bless you. I just hope to stay in touch. Buen Camino, peregrina! I am hopeing some day I will make it with my daughters. Take care.
Orlando
Thank you so much for your support! Yes, FIlipina and I hope you will have the chance to make the Camino with your family. It’s a wonderful journey!
which month?
September-October
I spotted you at hotel jakue 16 Sept waiting to be seated for dinner I believe. Hope your journey is going well.
Buen Camino!
Haha, that sounds about right, I think! Hope your journey is going well, too! Buen Camino!
can,t wait to come back... see my channel more videos soon
Buen Camino!
Love to see a solo female and a Filipina. Nice!
Thank you so much for watching!! Represent! Buen Camino! 😊👣
I would love to see you vlog about your camera gear and what all necessities including what type shoes and backpack you carry. Thank you
Donna Leano Thanks. I have a separate packing list video (it’s quite lengthy, lol). You can find it in my prep playlist, I believe. I also talk more at length about how I vlog and edit in the Day 18 video. Happy to answer any questions you may have. Thanks for watching! 👣
I wish I can do this soon, but I need someone to join I can’t do it alone 🤦🏻♂️
I had the same doubt, but it was the best decision I made. You will meet so many people! There’s no obligation to walk every day with the same people-pilgrims come and go, it’s all up to you. I would not hesitate to set off on my own again because, as they say, you are never really alone. Buen Camino! 👣
IllGetThere Wow that sounds very encouraging 🙏 Thank you so much, I really need to do it, Am thinking of next April 2021.
Would love to do that pilgrimage although am from Jerusalem the Holy land where we have groups coming for pilgrimaged 🙏🤗
But again thank you so your sharing, Bless your heart ❤️
Thank you so much. Wishing you a Buen Camino! 👣
1 day :)
At 16:40 Huge Dining Room at Orisson.
I am sorry it looks like you had a great time and I’m gonna have to leave this video in the very beginning because I cannot hear crap I know you’re talking quiet but as soon as you got outside on the street you’re still talking so little I have a whole volume and I cannot hear anything good luck to you
That's so strange; I could hear it perfectly at normal volume. Perhaps it's your device/something in your settings?
Noisy dinner. Everyone shouting. I hate hostels.
The excitement and eager anticipation of the early days is hard to contain and hostels are not for everyone’s own journey. It was the perfect start for me, though I’ve enjoyed many quiet dinners to myself, as well. 👍
