To Pamplona

Today, we walked to Pamplona. We got a late start this morning because our place in Zubiri had a wonderful buffet breakfast laid out, and it was nice visiting with the other people who were also staying there. But, because we left later, we walked some really warm hours at the end.

Yesterday, we had some cute towns to take breaks in along the way and today, that just wasn’t able to happen, which made for two very hot, sweaty tired pilgrims by the end.

But Pamplona is beautiful, and the walk up to the old city by the enormous walls and through the gates is pretty cool.

It’s not even 7:00 and we are TIRED! We’ve already had dinner (amazing!!), bought some snacks for tomorrow, and prepared our packs so we can leave WAY earlier in the morning.

The plan is to walk to Puenta la Reina - almost 15 miles 😳

Funny Note:

We have seen this young couple a few times and, while walking with them today, the young man shares how the sole of his shoe fell off on his first day hiking. So, to make the height of the soles the same for both feet, he peeled off the other sole. He’s not even planning to get new shoes yet! 😳 There is NO way our 60+ year old feet could do that. He let me take a picture. 🙂Læs mere
