    Departure Point

    16. maj, Frankrig ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    Met some bike pilgrims over breakfast at the hostel before heading to Decathlon to buy hiking poles. Took a very windy bus ride up -- then down, down, down (down) to St. Jean Pied de Port.

    Checked in to Hostel Ramuntcho so we could drop our packs before going to the Pilgrims' Office and exploring the town.

    There's snow at the top off the mountain -- they are encouraging people going all the way tomorrow to take the lower "road" route. We are going only halfway, and it looks like weather is improving each day. So much so that there's a heat wave predicted for the days from now.

    Hiking starts tomorrow!    Læs mere
