best way to go to St.Jean from Barcelona?

[millerjmc]

if anyone can advise the best way for me to get from Barcelona to the start in St.Jean I'd appreciate it. Or am I best to fly to London (from Canada) and then down to Biarritz with Ryan air? Is it difficult to get from London to Stansted? I'm travelling alone.

It's OK, I've made plans now to fly into Paris and take the train down. I have a great connection this way and can sleep off the jet-lag on the train.

I've done it this way - takes a bit longer but you usually get to have a day wandering in Paris - which is great.

I've done this journey many ways and prefer your with the fast train from Paris, changing trains, and then the slow train for 20 or so minutes into St. Jean Piere de Port. It's a great idea to leave some time to catch your breath in St. Jean before tackling the long journey to Roncesvalles. Enjoy! I have loved every minute of my many walks on the Camino.
Buen Camino
