The Pyrenees

Laurent from Auberge Borda filled us in on the weather report and it was to be cold and rainy. He was right! I walked with Linda for a while before meeting up with Tanya. As we walked, the visibility got less and less. We were surrounded by clouds and couldn't see past 150m in front. At times it was hard to see the markers. It was uphill for 10km, flat for 1km and downhill for 7km. It was a very hard day of walking. I was praying and talking to myself. I left Tanya while walking thru the mud, my hands were freezing. We all made it to Roncesvalles, what a relief to see the monastery!

I was on level 3 in a cubicle with Jeanette from Canada. I slept well with earplugs that night.Read more
