    Apologies for the lack of postings ...
    My setting up my Orange eSIM got mixed up and my phone stubbornly blocked.
    St Saint Jean Pied de Port, Orange dealer was not helpful.
    Now, 2 days later, if I use WiFi all is good.
    Thanks for the knee wishes. Today all good and I walked 15+Kms up 700+ mtrs to Roncesvalles. The Pyrenees is said to be the hardest part of the Camino Frances... we will see.
    Albergues: you love some, as I did in Saint Jean. Tonight I'm in the Peregrine Roncesvalles. Holds well over 200 Pilgrims. 2 different dinner times. I had agreed to enjoy dinner with 2 Scandinavian ladies, but lucked out, 7pm, mine 8:30.
    Lights out at 10pm and all lights on at 6am with Churchly voices singing.
    The accommodation is new and run by Ditch Volunteers. Very clean and efficient. Please note the above doesn't sound positive. I'm a happy Brucee and am meeting great pilgrimages 🤣
    Tomorrow a short walk and a smaller Albergue.
    Photos today show yours truly leaving my wonderful Saint Jean Pied de Port Albergue)2 night🤗) and starting the Camino Frances.
    spring time in the Pyrenees.
