Mid-afternoon today we received an email letting us know our flights had been delayed…. by a full DAY!! After a bit of stress, trying to keep cool under pressure and three customer service agents, we’re boarded!! Slight detour to our route but we’ll arrive in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port at the same time as originally planned 😅. Stay tuned! Hopefully we’re over the stressful part now 🤞Leia mais

Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port
10–11 de ago. 2024, França ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C
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. 😅☀️Leia mais

A short and easy 8kms… or that’s what I thought they’d be!!

Started out the day with a gorgeous French petit dejeuner of croissant, bread, jam, juice and coffee, hitting the trail around 9am.

Those 8kms were the steepest and hottest I’ve ever done, and was only possible by skipping from one patch of shade to the next, for a quick rest! We climbed just shy of 700 metres to Refuge Orisson and were met by such friendly and hardworking staff, serving gorgeous food on the most breathtaking patio overlooking the peaks and valleys of the Pyrenees mountains. Gorgeous!

A community dinner with the rest of the folks staying at the hostel where we ate, introduced ourselves and shared our Camino ‘why’.Leia mais

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!Leia mais

This morning our alarm clock was a church choir and a Monk. What was yours?

21kms today with 800ish meters up and 400ish down.

We got to walk through a few quaint towns today, all with historical homes, that look meticulously clean with overflowing flower boxes. Somehow every day things like laundry hanging out or a simple grocery store are just cuter in Europe.

The last part of the walk was the toughest of the day with a downhill over some rock ridges, but we were rewarded with a cool river that we could rest our feet in at the end of the day. Honestly, nothing better to end the walk! Oh, and also the showers at our hostel are incredible.Leia mais

The day started off rainy and cool and we didn’t mind at all!

In total we covered about 21kms today - although once we got to the city of Pamplona I swear we added another 5kms getting to our hostel. We had some ups, some downs but overall a pretty easy hike comparatively.

Pamplona is definitely a vibe - you’d think this Wednesday’s was a weekend evening with the amount of energy on the streets. Beautiful architecture and people everywhere!Leia mais

24kms up a hill, down a hill and along some of the windiest paths yet!

Today Spain is celebrating Assumption with many of of the stores closed for the day (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assumption_of_Mary) Luckily, didn’t effect us much and we were able to find breakfast and snacks on our way.

I had a fun moment when we reached the top of the hill and found the sculpture I’ve seen a zillion times online and in movies, in real life. Zack had a blast jumping into the wind at the top trying to catch flight to the bottom I think!

Puente la Reina is a quiet cute town and our new roomie Emma and I hit up the local pool after the walk - sweet relief! Our Pilgrims Menu dinner and our server did not disappoint!Leia mais

We covered about 22kms today making our way to the beautiful town of Estella and my legs are tired!! I was hoping today would feel a bit easier as we gear up for a 29km day tomorrow… I may have to adopt the pace of one of the creatures in my pictures to get through!

Agora Hostel in Estella is an absolute GEM and I 10/10 highly recommend!Leia mais

The crew got up extra early this morning to try to beat the heat and we were out the door just after 6am. Unfortunately that meant we were too early for the infamous wine fountain - that didn’t open until 8am.

The Camino delivered gorgeous sunrise views and we were surprised to catch a mini kids-version, running of the bulls as we walked through Los Arcos. So fun!

The Palacia hostel in Sansol is a delight! Originally a palace built in 1702, it’s been beautifully restored, inclusive of a much loved foot pool. Honestly feels like a Resort - can hardly believe it was just €21 for each bed!Leia mais
