Arrived here at SeaTac airport and passed through security without issue.
We took a train to get to our gate. The plane is packed!!
The flight is 9 hours 25 minutes, so I will have to get up and walk around when able to.
I believe the Mountain is My. Ranier?
Did not see any Northern Lights this trip.
I watched Veep (hilarious) and Succession.Läs mer

I was able to sleep a bit on the plane which was good.
Lots of kids and babies.
Very tight connection in Amsterdam but they have a special line for people like me to go through customs faster
I can't wait to get to Bilbao. It is such a beautiful city.

So....went to bed so excited for my first day of walking ....and someone started running a chainsaw at 1am - 5 am!!!!
And there was a forklift beeping.
Not a great sleep.

On the road by 630 am
Following a new GPS as my other app doesn't have one yet.
Needless to say, very little signage and I had to ask 3 different Spanish men where the trail was.!!!

I finally found it and saw a few pilgrims so was very relieved.

Very challenging
Absolutely gorgeous scenery.
Walking with a guy from Leeds Gavin) and a young Dr. from
Germany (Polo). She is studying 6 years to be a visceral surgeon.

My pics will show the terrain. You can see how the weather changes.

Delighted to walk through a herd of pregnant Mares and foals just grazing. Saw a few frail runners ( not Camino people)

I will include my Garmin stats to show elevation as well.

I lost my headlamp.

Great but exhausting day🤗
Oh and Rianne is a stage ahead of me. Very slim chance I will see her again but we're texting.Läs mer

I slept 10 hours last night.

Walked around the town and bought a new headlamp.
Saw Gavin and chatted for a bit.
He is waiting for his mate to arrive this afternoon.

What a great place! Old town is very quaint very much like Leon.
I didn't get any pics of it just around the church.

Tomorrow will be hot they say.Läs mer

Resenär Hi! Just getting the hang of this program - very cool! I can see where you are on the map and where you've been! The varied places you are walking through are fascinating - just love the trail through the grasslands and along the bluff! Glad you got a new headlampt - simply can't do without light. Enjoy tomorrow!

24 september 2023, Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
Woke up at 5 am and started walking along the sea wall for 3 km.
There were people everywhere,!!
Some bars were still even open.

Beautiful scenery. Loved being in the woods seeing lighthouses, and the views of the ocean.

I have included a few pics of what we had to walk on just to give you an idea of the wide variety of surfaces. Then add on the steepness of the terrain and that is why the difficulty is rated so high.

Many people were on the beaches because it was Saturday Hundreds of road bikes. No cute bell to let you know they are there. I will never complain ever again about how annoying they are🙄

They travel in peletons ( groups of varied numbers,) and pedal at unbelievable speeds. They terrify me. I have almost been hit a couple of times 😱

Lots of donkeys🥰😍♥️ Also sheep, cows and goats.

Absolutely loving each day. I rarely see many pilgrims. This trail ticks all the boxes except for trying to book rooms 🙄 An ongoing issue.

Wishing everyone good health🤗💖Läs mer

Resenär Isn't it awesome when a trip ticks all the right boxes! So delighted to hear of your journey and that you are loving each day! Love seeing the pictures - almost nothing beat absorbing new cultures, sights, sounds, odors, and ambiance! Still can't believe how early you start your morning and interesting that others are still enjoying their nights. You'll love Africa - we have to get up around 0500 to do the morning safari. Wishing you ongoing good health.

Resenär Honestly Vicki you would love the hiking each day. I mean there are some lows but overall an experience in solitude with nature. It is very peaceful. You can hear the bells clanging on the horses and cows. Lots of goats I think of you when I see them🥰 Thank-you for your good wishes and to you as well💕💕💕

I actually took advantage of staying in my hostel 2 nights so slept in!!

I left around 730.
The first part was walking on the sea wall for 4 km. Beautiful sunrise.

Cafe con leche in Gitaria.

I didn't see Rianne . She is 2 stages ahead of me now. I won't see her again which is so sad.
I also didn't.'t see Gavin either. He had a late start and no room booked for tonight poor guy.
We keep in touch with What's App 🤗

I had to travel by train from Deba when I arrived back to Zarautz because there were no beds available.

Anyway beautiful trails and scenery.

I love the Del Norte😂😍Läs mer

Up at 5 am and caught the 620 bus back to Deba. I learned to never trust your memory in Spain for locations use Google Maps. I almost missed the bus 🙄

Spectacular day. Beautiful scenery. mostly forest trails. I maybe saw 8 Pilgrims in total.

I saw Lauren from Glasgow. She has the coolest accent.

A lot of people are finishing in Bilbao. Many just walking for a week.

This is my favorite Camino so far. It is very similar to walking between Muxia and Finisterre.

The Albergue is very nice. There are 18 beds altogether in a loft. We will see how much sleep I get tonight🤞🍀Läs mer

Wonderful sleep even though the woman beside me snored like a .....Had breakfast and merrily set out.

Glorious sunrise. Beautiful countryside and forest hiking..
I was super delighted to catch up with Tricia and Kira. They are a Mom and daughter pair from Gallway Ireland. Kira wanted to go by herself and her mom said "Can I come?" Tricia was such a trooper!! I told her how awesome she was doing. Not easy at all for her. They fly home Saturday.

Rianne sent me a funny voice message....she said "I want to be kind to my body ( she had a previous Achilles SX,) so I will only do 22 km today not the ,30 I had planned! " I never did meet up with her I think I passed her somehow. 😢

Then came the Burros. I was in heaven. I petted the little guy for a long time. I loved his bangs!!!

I went off track again. There were even arrows pointing that way....very confusing for people.

I am slowly getting the hang of GPS trail walking.....Very sketchy signage in a lot of places.Läs mer
