    Nire ibilaldiaren hasiera Palmondoan

    13. april, Frankrig ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

    … das war Baskisch „Start meiner Wanderung am Palmsonntag“ in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port. Zum Auftakt meiner Reise habe ich an der Messe auf baskisch beigewohnt. Wer das baskische mal gehört hat, dem fällt es schwer die Sprache einem Platz in der Welt zuzuordnen.

    St. Jean Pied de Port

    11. april, Frankrig ⋅ ☁️ 68 °F

    St. Jean Pied de Port… I am here!!!
    It was amazing to see the train packed with pilgrims and hearing so many different languages!
    St. Jean in a beautiful little town tucked in the foothills of the Pyrenees, with narrow, cobblestone streets and old basque facades.
    The town was surprisingly quiet at 6:30 pm already and by 9, after settling in my room and taking a shower, it was difficult to find a place to have dinner.
    But I found it! And to celebrate, I treated myself to a nice steak and a glass of sangria.
    1st. Night Stay: Gîte Le Chemin vers l'Etoile.
    10 bed room, 8 men and only two women: myself and a lady from Australia who was beyond excited and a little uneasy about having been placed with so many men.
    The night was quiet, but we were up to a rude awakening in the morning when most of the men got up, turned on the bright lights and starting chatting and laughing like there was nobody else still sleeping.
    2nd. Night Stay: Gite D’Etape Zuharpeta.

    To celebrate the beginning of the walk, we had a nice dinner of traditional dishes and some Basque cider.
    Then we walked over one of the places in the movie “The way,my way” and had another drink before retiring for the night.

    We can hear the thunderstorm and the rain coming down. I guess we will have the full Camino experience tomorrow!    Læs mere

    St. Michel, France ... to Auberge Borda

    5. april, Frankrig ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F

    Day one on the Camino was filled with wonderful moments, redefining leg/glute day, and increased heart rates! 😝 I met some amazing people along the road, the first of which informed me that was going the wrong way! Lol... so had they, and I'm thankful that I had not gone nearly as far as they had! Once on the right path, the crisp fresh air, the incredible beauty, and the tranquility of it all quickly filled my senses with a feeling of calm that I couldn't explain. My first day on the Camino ended at Auberge Borda in St. Michel, France. A few of the pilgrims I had met on the walk during the day were also staying there. Our host, Miguel, made us a wonderful pilgrim meal for supper, and we sat together, sharing where we came from and why we were there. There was a heartwarming sense of commaraderie and so many laugh out loud moments... especially when I revealed that for the first time in my life, I was living without adult supervision and wondered what could possibly go wrong!! 😂 I met people from the Netherlands, Australia, Korea, Japan, Great Britain, and many other parts of the USA. The walk during the day was nothing short of amazing...albeit physically demanding! 😬 At the end of the day, we were rewarded with a most spectacular sunset... 😍Læs mere

    Bayonne Day 1... 💜

    1. april, Frankrig ⋅ ☀️ 70 °F

    After an incredible day navigating my way from Madrid and arriving at Ben and Elodie's, I had to force my brain to STOP thinking and go to sleep. Last I looked at the clock, it was nearly 3 am! I finally awoke just before 1:00 pm!! It felt amazing to sleep that long. After a shower and a delicious omelet for breakfast (it still counts as breakfast at 2 p.m., when you've "fasted since 7 a.m., the day before!! 😂), we headed to the beach for a long walk! The views gave me goosebumps, as it finally hit me that I was nearly halfway around the world on another continent! We walked nearly 5 miles. With the company of Ben and Elodie, the amazing views, it was nothing short of spectacular! 💜Læs mere

    Mad Cow Attack

    23. september 2024, Frankrig ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    Today was 8k uphill on a glorious day for hiking through the Pyrenees. We started off slowly enjoying an espresso in SJPP before we left. I was feeling a little nervous about the long walk ahead. Todays lesson which cannot be underestimated was the need to focus on todays journey and not the enormous big task ahead. We need to get into a rhythm and everything’s a bit clunky at the start. I’ve fussed around with organising where to put things in the backpack and bumbag and keeping the important things accessible. The views all the way up today were just gorgeous, beautiful mountain scenery, very green and leafy with enormous expanding vistas in all directions. A few hawks flew overhead but mostly it was peaceful. We were delighted to hear cowbells and cows wandering on the track in front of us. They looked cute and gentle. But be warned! Cows are dangerous. To our surprise and shock one of them attacked Michael. Sounds dramatic but he was gored in the chest and knocked backwards off the track. Michael sustained a red graze on his chest, and was bleeding from the leg where he went into bushes on the side of the road trying to get away from it. He’s pretty lucky not to break a rib or puncture a lung. We had a bit if a laugh about it but it was not funny really. Day One and we’re all still here resting up at Refuge Orisson. Winning!Læs mere

    Over the pyranees part 2

    13. april 2024, Frankrig ⋅ ☀️ 64 °F

    Too many good photos - had to share more!

    I love seeing the horses free to go wherever they wish. And some of them wear bells, just like the cows in Switzerland. Have the sound on for the videos - so cool.

    Somewhere along the way we crossed over into Spain, but it was not super clear except for the slight change in the route markers.

    I was pretty pooped at the 3 hour mark, so by the 6 hour mark, I think I was running on just water and Paul’s encouragement. We started sharing which body parts were talking to us.

    We’ll see how sore we are in the morning.

    The Albergue is part of a monastery set in the hills of Roncesvalles. It’s incredibly well organized, clean, and volunteers help with the set up process.

    I’m impressed with the beds and lockers, clean shared bathroom and hot shower.

    Glad to pay for the pilgrim’s dinner and breakfast. When do we eat??    Læs mere

    First day on the Camino

    14. maj 2023, Frankrig ⋅ 🌧 54 °F

    We walked what is considered a half stage today, but it was actually farther than I've walked on the first day on the Camino Francés. This is the "crossing the Pyrenees" stage. While the terrain isn't difficult (it's actually foothills of the Pyrenees and most of the walking is on a paved road), it is very steep. The first five miles is the steepest section on the entire Camino Francés.

    In the past I've split this section by spending the night at Refuge Orisson which was the only hostel between St Jean Pied de Port in France and Roncesvalles in Spain. There is now another hostel one kilometer up the road, but my walking companions weren't keen on sleeping in bunk beds so we chose to use a service that picked us up when we reached the halfway point of this stage - about 7.5 miles.

    The day started out drizzly, but the walk was fairly dry until we reached Orisson where we stopped for lunch before continuing for 3 more miles. After a bowl of delicious vegetable soup we set out again for about another hour or so of walking until we reached our pick up point. Then it started to rain - lightly at first and we all put on our ponchos and deployed our handsfree hiking umbrellas. It wasn't long before we were in a torrential downpour with some hail mixed in. I also heard some thunder rumbling in the distance, and I thought of my umbrella and poles - the umbrella has a fiberglass shaft and ribs, and the piles are carbon fiber, so I was hoping that they wouldn't make me a lightning rod! Fortunately, I didn't see any lightning - in fact I couldn't see much at all at this point due to the mist that formed up in the mountains. Thankfully, the shuttle service sent the van up early because of the worsening weather and I arrived at the meeting point just as he got there. The others were behind me, and very happy to see a warm, dry van waiting for them.

    As is typical of days like this when we got back to town the skies cleared and it was beautiful!

    Until the rain really started the views were stunning, and I regret not taking more pictures.

    In the afternoon we walked around a bit more in St Jean which is an interesting old walled Basque town before heading to dinner.

    Tomorrow we will take the shuttle back to where we left off - hopefully it will be a lot dryer!    Læs mere

    Day 2 - I walked over the Pyrenees

    I går, Frankrig ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C

    Refuge Orisson to Burguete-Auritz
    Woke up early enough to see the sun rise, and to join the Pilgrims breakfast at 7am sharp. The alburgue hosts were pretty clear about their timings and expectations, but they are experienced and it worked perfectly.
    On the road by 7.30 in windy conditions with strong gusts, but skies were blue again for another stunning day. The views just got better and better as I climbed.
    I loved the climb though, not too strenuous although there were some steep bits. Walking through the beech forest out of the wind was great.
    The Lepoeder high point was a real box-tick moment, everything from here is down, and the views over the Navarre valley and seeing my destination was great.
    Roncesvalles was a good place for a deserved Sangria with my lunch sandwich, and a look around the pilgrim complex, before starting the last few km to the hotel.
    Moment of the day undoubtedly was conquering the Pyrenees - I have been planning for a long time and now can say that “I walked over the Pyrenees”. Objective #1 well and truly achieved.    Læs mere

    Day 0 - Saint Jean Pied Du Port

    27. april, Frankrig ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    An early bus from San Sebastián to Bayonne to catch the connecting train, only for the train to be cancelled. A bus arrived, we all piled on without checking tickets, and made our way through pretty green scenery to Saint Jean Pied Du Port in the rain. Settled in to the Air BnB and explored the very cute town.
    Was lucky with almost no one collecting Pilgrim passports so was attended to quickly. I checked in with an 88 year old man on his 5th Camino!
    Hopefully the grim weather improves tomorrow.
    Moment of the day - sitting down in front of the very helpful French lady to get my Pilgrim Passport and the very first stamp.    Læs mere

    Day 4 Orisson

    25. april, Frankrig ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

    Day 4 Friday April 25th from Saint Jean Pied de Port to Orison. I was excited to start my first day of the walk. Well guess what I slept in! I was up for part of the night because the lady beside me was snoring and my ear plugs were still packed. Finally I got them and slept in. I was a little frazzled when I woke up but got ready and left Jean Pied de Port with other pilgrims.

    I walked up the mountains for four hours with my backpack. I have to admit it was difficult. If I was having trouble breathing I just stopped got my breath and then started again. I was not alone many other pilgrims walking together. It’s amazing and I‘meeting do many people from around the world.
    I am staying at an Albergue. A Albergue is a building with rooms like a hostel with simple accommodation, men and women mixed. We got a coin when we checked in for a 5 shower! I was surprised 5 minutes was enough and I even washed my hair! Let just say no fancy stuff and I’m going “au natural!”

    Now we are relaxing. Later we will have dinner together called pilgrims dinner.
    Guess what at dinner I met Dan Spiteri from Nova Scotia who is Maltese … can you believe it!!!

    Till tomorrow !    Læs mere
