Bugger, just checked the distance for traveling from Burgos looks like it would add another 100km to the journey even if jumped on a coach back to Santiago from Muxia. Got my first vote on the poll, swine voted for Burgos...I know who you are !
On a brighter note, I'm loving the Groove Shark music app, scroll to bottom of the page and hit play you may have to give it a 20 seconds to start to stream the music but very soon you'll be enjoying a selection of my musical taste. I've spend most of the night exploring their database of music.
I still haven't sorted out travelling to the start line, options are fly to UK and then to Madrid, then coach up to Leon or Burgos. Or boat to France train to Rennes, TGV to Bayonne, then coach/train/taxi or combination to Burgos or Leon.
While flights would be simple to organise, I'd start my trip traveling in the wrong direction. I have this nagging feeling that planes should not be part of a pilgrimage, and that my journey should start from home. It feels like I'd be cheating if I flew and also I would be missing out on a part of my journey.
On the flip side I don't speak french or spanish, I have no firm idea of how to get into the heart of Spain from France and at the moment I don't even know where I'll get my first stamp in my pilgrims passport.
My partner would be having kittens if this was her holiday but to me this is fun!
