Camino Day 3

Zabaldika to Puente la Reina. What a fabulous night sleep and breakfast... we are fuelled, the boys blisters patched and ready to go... hmm, still later than liked at 7:40. (At least we didn’t have to sleep in the church porch like a couple of guys did last night). We make light work of 8km to make Pamplona. Coffee and donuts ☕️ 🍩 to fuel us on. We then start the long drag up, slowly climbing for the next 13km to then summit the Ato del Perdon. The views are amazing all around, but especially back on the city we had just left. It had been overcast for the first few hours but the cloud had burn off making the temperatures soar to over 30 again. The blister work in the morning has worn off and there are two limping boys. And the last 11 km (really 12, as we all agree that the Camino markets lie) are long and tough.
Two loads of washing, dried outside within 25mins done. Time to rest.
Dinner out is a treat of the finest local food - and the softest of steaks.
Blog and bed, rest is so needed for another gruelling, but amazing day. #makingmemoriesRead more
