    Before we arrived to the tours it office we talked about a lot metaphysical stuff and when we finally arrived at the tourist office we expected to get the keys to the albergue.

    At the tourist office we found out that all albergues are full, and even after they called the pensions and albergue in the next city all places were full. So our only option was to take the hotelRead more

  • 45km - Hotel

    July 2, 2015 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    Shortly we arrived at the hotel. The hotel made a mistake and instead of giving us one room he gave us two rooms for the same price.

    They had whirlpool in the bath tub. A long bath was the best thing after 45km!!

    Afterwards we washed our clothes in our "washing machine" which was the whirlpool 😂😂

    Distance traveled:
    45 km

    4.5 km/h

  • Breakfast

    July 3, 2015 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    The breakfast room opens at 7:30, but since we are pilgrims we asked if we can go earlier and they let us in at 6:30 and had an amazing breakfast all by ourselves 😂

  • Nature

    July 3, 2015 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    We walked the entire morning through the forests and mountains. Beautiful nature, but also many pilgrims. Every hour we overtake at leased 10 pilgrims. Our average speed was 5.6 km/h. It was around 37 degrees, but the tree top gave us shade and protected us from the heat.Read more

    A few kilometers after bolibar my dad lied down on the grass and said he needs a break. I when said that there is a bar. He immediately awoke and was disappointed when I was purely guessing that a bar should be somewhere along the way. I took his backpack and forced him to go further.Read more

    Luxurious buildings and many man-eating-dogs that attack pilgrims so the pilgrims do not disturb their peace ... Or thats what my dad said. Not sure if he is still in the same reality as me...

  • Pilgrims

    July 3, 2015 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 35 °C

    We met two pilgrims, who slept in the forest in the rain and haven't eaten anything for a while since they could not find any stores. On the first day they walked 55km and had to sleep outside again since they could not find an albergue. There are definitely more crazy people than us 😂😂😂Read more

  • Herriko Taberna

    July 3, 2015 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C

    Still having to carry my dad backpack I felt a bit exhausted when we arrived at a taberna. We had a mixed salad and beer. Let's hope we find a place to stay in the next city which is 6km from here 😂

    We met the other two pilgrims. They were danish. One of them a computer science graduate and the other one had learned music stuff. Like us they have no idea where they are staying today.

  • 53km - Hotel

    July 3, 2015 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    We couldn't find any other place that still had room. The albergue was closed until the 9th of July and therefore we stayed in another hotel. I still wanted to go further and maybe just sleep on the grass, but even though I was carrying my dad backpack he was too exhausted to go further.

    Today's distant traveled was a new personal record, 53km!!!
    The total distance we had traveled is now 126km!!

    We took a hot bath. That really felt good. All the muscles were finally relaxed!

    Even though I was so exhausted I did 25 push ups and afterwards my dad tried to do some exercise too... Mental exercise... By mentally imagining his legs moving up and down he also started doing 20 mental sit ups, but he still skipped 16. Therefore 16 virtual mental sit ups!!! This makes so much sense. We are definitely not crazy yet!!??

    Price: 42.5€ per person

    The two danish pilgrims were at a restaurant as we passed by them. They told us that yesterday they also couldn't find a place to stay but instead of going to the hotel they walked on and ended up sleeping in the forest.Read more
