Easy travel day
2017年5月10日, フランス ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Today's travel went very smoothly. I know that we all complain about Ryanair, but the Dublin to Biarritz flight is super-efficient. I had no problem with my slightly oversized backpack, or with takingもっと詳しく
Hondarribia
2017年5月10日, スペイン ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
I had a peaceful night at the Capitan Tximista albergue. There were about nine of us, so we had good chats at the communal dinner.
This albergue is in a very good location - on the Camino and a fewもっと詳しく
Hobdarribia to San Sebastian
2017年5月10日, スペイン ⋅ 🌧 18 °C
Today's walk was about 25kms, on natural trails and country roads. It even included a little boat ride, across the river at Pasajes. My plan was to take the 'alpinista' option, but I accidentallyもっと詳しく

Zarautz
2017年5月11日, スペイン ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
I'm enjoying these seaside places. I stopped for lunch today at the famous Karlos Aguinano restaurant. Thankfully they had outside tables - I would have looked very out of place in the dining room!もっと詳しく
Getaria
2017年5月11日, スペイン ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
A 26km walk today from San Sebastián. Very enjoyable, some good chats along the way. I'm staying in Getaria tonight - a really nice town with a busy port and two beaches. Another little swim today -もっと詳しく
Albergue Izarbide - Barrio de Ibiro
2017年5月13日, スペイン ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
About 23 kms from Getaria, with some challenging ups and downs. The hard surfaces (stones, asphalt and concrete) are tough on the feet and the joints. My blisters are sore, but alternating betweenもっと詳しく
Muntibar - Albergue Lea
2017年5月13日, スペイン ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
A long and challenging walk today, 30 kms up and down mountains. It was very beautiful and not at all crowded - apart from a mountain bike race in the early stages. The trail was quite muddy inもっと詳しく
Walking to Gernika
2017年5月14日, スペイン ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
A beautiful walk, forests and hills, with the sounds of birdsong and rivers. I was enjoying it so much that I missed the arrows and climbed an extra hill! The views were great, though. The maps on myもっと詳しく
Gernika
2017年5月15日, スペイン ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C
Gernika, the town bombed by German and Italian fighter jets in 1937, in support of General Franco. It's a modern city today, with a very moving Peace Museum.
My original plan was to stop here for aもっと詳しく
Gernika-Lumo
2017年5月15日, スペイン ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
I was lucky to be able to spend a few more hours in Gernika this morning. I went to the market and managed to buy fruit and cake, using my less than perfect Spanish. I visited the Biscayan Assembly,もっと詳しく
Bermeo
2017年5月15日, スペイン ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
My blisters aren't healing, so I decided not to continue walking. I'm having a rest day 'of sorts' and making my way to San Juan de Gaztelugatxe on the coast. The first part of this journey involves aもっと詳しく

Stopover in Bilbao
2017年5月16日, スペイン ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
After San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, I walked to Bakio and took a bus to Bilbao. Baikio was a pretty soulless place - a surf beach and lots of empty holiday apartments. I felt very out of place as a sweatyもっと詳しく

I'm on the move again, on a bus to San Sebastián. Today is a 'buffer day' between my week on the Camino del Norte and the Camino del Baztan. It was good to have a later wake-up time this morning andもっと詳しく
Hondarribia
2017年5月16日, スペイン ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

Hondarribia to Hendaye
2017年5月17日, フランス ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
This was a travel day, with a little bit of walking. OK, probably more than a little bit of walking as my fitbit recorded 28,200 steps. 😊
I took the ferry across the estuary from Hondarribia toもっと詳しく
Bayonne
2017年5月17日, フランス ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
I checked into the little hotel on arrival in Bayonne and did the usual ritual of having a shower, washing my clothes and setting up an improvised laundry line. I then went out for a little rambleもっと詳しく
Bayonne to Esplette
2017年5月18日, フランス ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
Day 1 of the Camino del Baztan. About 25 kms from Bayonne to Esplette. Mud, mud, glorious mud!
The weather was awful, but the company was fabulous.
Esplette to Amaiur - about 24 kms
2017年5月19日, スペイン ⋅ 🌧 11 °C
This was definitely a harder day than I remember from last time. Laurie and I made things even harder by taking a forest route over the border into Spain, in an effort to avoid the asphalt and theもっと詳しく
Amaiur to Berroeta - about 20 kms
2017年5月20日, スペイン ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
This was to be a shorter day, so we had breakfast at Goiz Argi and set off a little later than usual. We were in no particular hurry, as Laurie had phoned the Berroeta hospitalera to let her know weもっと詳しく
Berroeta to Lantz, about 19kms
2017年5月21日, スペイン ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Fantastic day of off-road hiking, through magical beech forests and over the Puerto de Belate. Strenuous, but worth it. Laurie and I took the less-travelled option from Berroeta and were so glad thatもっと詳しく
Lantz to Pamplona, about 29kms
2017年5月22日, スペイン ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
A day of mostly off-road hiking, through forests, natural trails and a meadow of wild flowers. Some mud, but thankfully not as much as last year. Just four of us today, as Laurie is now on her way toもっと詳しく
