    2The first view of the village you are finishing in is so exciting.
    People already on the road, in the rain, at 06:50That would keep my woodburner going for a decade.The signage is usually very good, here a street sign and road markings.The foal was actually sleeping.Sometimes it's easier to walk the Camino than to cycle it.The water was actually moving at real pace.Some of what we missed in the clouds and mist yesterday.2The geology made for some treacherous decents, for the 2nd day running.The bar owner has done the Camino 9 times and had plenty of advice!

    A Slightly Easier Day

    A guy in our dormitory last night snored like a rutting walrus, I've never heard such a guttoral sound. So the first contemplation that the Camino has delivered is that the people who snore the loudest are the best sleepers in the world, because every single time you wake up they are still bloody snoring.

    The novelty of staying in a 12 century convent had soon evaporated, with both of us getting next to no sleep. It was so cold I slept with 4 layers, trousers and socks on inside my sleeping bag liner and was still not warm. Lights on at 6am and the playing of Gregorian chanting for the next hour came as a blessed relief.

    Today we dropped 450m but still managed several stiff climbs and again some dangerous decents, particularly the section into Zubiri. We chatted with some interesting people along the way which help the miles pass so much more quickly.

    The destination today was Zubiri, 13.5 miles from the start but we had to go on to Larisoana, another 3.5 miles, as the whole village was booked up weeks ago. At least that is 3 miles less tomorrow.

    Roncesvalles to Larrasoana
    Distance: 17.20 miles
    Time: 7hrs 3 mins
    Speed: 2.4mph    Les mer
