• Orisson to Roncesvalles

    Aug 12–13, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

    Sweet relief!!

    After an incredibly hot trek yesterday, there was a shift in weather today with cooler temps rolling in with the fog. Made for a much more enjoyable walk.

    Fluffy sheep, horses and cows were all roaming free along the trail… with the odd vulture or two keeping an eye on things. (They might have taken me for dead and picked me off yesterday!)

    We walked in and out of the clouds, along roads and trails with out-of-this-world views around every corner. About half way traded bonjours for holas as we crossed from France into Spain… stopping to get the obligatory one foot in each country pic.

    The Roncesvalles hostel is a treat with super hot showers, historic buildings and friendly staff that take care of your laundry for you.

    Looking forward to our Pilgrim’s dinner tonight!
