It is great to be back in Paris. What a shame we don't have the time to enjoy it. We arrived at our hotel just before 6 pm. We had a shower and a rest before heading out into Paris just to walk aroundLeggi altro

We left from here first thing this morning. Very hot and sticky.
It was very hard to get any really good photos as the train travelled so fast.

All the photos are of St Jean Pied de Port.

St Jean Pied de Port to Orisson
Well, who would believe Lyn and I lost each other before we started the walk to Orisson today. After looking for her for 30 minutes, I decided I had better get going.Leggi altro
ViaggiatoreWe had only stepped outside our accommodation and Lyn went into the shop next door and I never saw her come out and she never saw me waiting for her. 🤣

Orisson to Burgutte
Left Orisson 7.15am. Sun hasn't risen yet.
What a long, hard, blistering slop of a 20k day. Going up was just as bad as going down. 31 degrees today.
We arrived in BurgutteLeggi altro
ViaggiatoreIt was really hard going today. Temperatures are due to get even higher tomorrow before the rain comes the following day and temperatures are due to decrease.9.15 pm and time for bed as we need another early start tomorrow.
