Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port

A day later, we made it to the beautiful town in France where the Camino begins: Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port. Some of us got sleep during the travelling (ah-hem: Zack), but most of us are pretty bushed after two planes, three buses and a passenger van ride to get here.

We checked in to our first hostel “Gite Compostela” with kids sharing a room with a French lady and Darryl, Mum and I bunked up in another. A quick walk down the street to the Pilgrim’s Office to get registered, pick up our Credential and shell symbolic to the Camino.

We caught the end of the service in the town’s church and then off for a bite to eat for dinner.

Tomorrow we walk! And they’re forecasting a scorcher - good thing it’s our shortest day of the bunch with an 8km hike. All uphill. Mostly in the sun. 😅☀️Weiterlesen
