Third day walking!

After very disturbed night (lots of snoring!) we set off about 8 in lovely weather and down from the hilltop village. Again we passed by lush fields and villages with lovely churches. It was 25 degrees and the rucksacks make us hot and work harder! We stopped for tea and coffee of course and lunch in Estella, which has lovely old town with impressive churches. In some places the way was very steep, in others more undulating. One intriguing thing was passing the wine fountain… it’s a tradition to drink a little wine as you pass, I duly obliged! But we made it to our welcoming Albergue in Axqueta after 24.5 Km! And it’s nice not to have bunk beds 😊
It’s a small Albergue and we had friendly communal supper with people from Germany, France, Italy and Finland. We’ve also so far chatted to folk from Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand and even good old Blighty!Read more
