      Day 5: We are in Pamplona

      11 maj, Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 61 °F

      After spending the night at the municipal alburge and sharing a room with Kristina, three Italian women, and a radiologist from Australia - thats a lot of people in a small space - we trekked to Pamplona and treated ourselves to a room at La Perla, on the main square of Old Town. We hiked alongside the Nive River along the way, then up into the mountains again, finally to Pamplona.Läs mer

      Day 6 Out of Pamplona and up that mounta

      12 maj, Spanien ⋅ ☁️ 72 °F

      Today, we left the big city of Pamplona, and climbed and climbed 980 feet straight up to the Alto de Perdon to the famous Pilgrim statue. I have seen pictures of it many times, but i was still surprised when it was in front of me. Climbing back down was a challenge, so much river rock! After hiking 17 miles,we are in the beautiful town of Punta la Reina tonight. We will stay 2 nights because Kristina has mucho blisters! There are blisters on her blisters!Läs mer

      Pamplona Rest day

      26 maj, Spanien ⋅ ☁️ 64 °F

      Pamplona is a bustling town and I love the way families just congregate in the Plaza de Castillo. We went from bar to bar eating Tapas meeting the locals and other pilgrims. Even with the pain it was a good night. Today we went to the Santa Maria la real de Pamplona Cathedral and had a tour. They have a beautif ul museum of relics of a by gone era. The cathedral is 15th century Neo Classical and gothic style. Even if you are not catholic you can certainly appreciate the beauty and intricacies of the building and all the love it houses. We then walked the Encinerro (bull run) where the bulls run to the arena each year during San Fermin. And followed all the way to the arena. Then back to Cafe Iruña for coffee and chocolate pie. It’s been a relaxing day of rest today. I’m hoping tomorrow my toes can take the walking. Tomorrow is Alto de Perdon the hill of forgiveness. Fingers crossed.Läs mer

      Day 4 Pamplona
      Distance from Larrasoana to Pamplona 19kms

      The temperature is getting warmer and it was pleasurable to walk on a dry surface in warm sunny conditions. We stumbled across a 13th Century church with its doors open and Sister Maria in residence.
      It was a long easy walk into Pamplona and being Mother’s Day the city was buzzing with families. We found the famous Iruna Bar the hangout of Ernest H and enjoyed the local Rosado and delicious tapas. Dined with fellow pilgrims this evening and look forward to a rest day here in Pamplona tomorrow.

      Pamplona

      6 maj, Spanien ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C

      Pamplona at our leisure and with so much to see spent the day walking around the city. The Santa Maria Cathedral which took 150 years to build was magnificent and a church of unbelievable beauty. A vibrant university city beautiful gardens and green spaces where deer peacocks and fowl roam freely. Tapas were on the menu again - black pudding/mushroom and pimentos pigs trotters and I’m not sure what else but they were delicious prosciutto goats cheese pimentos and zucchini and finished another big day with a cherry gelato. Such an incredible city popular for the running of the bulls Ernest Hemingway (The Sun Also Rises) and the Museum with Roman artifacts from the first century. It has been a day to remember.Läs mer

      Day 5 - Rest day in Pamplona
      Today I had a rest day. Or so I thought. But I ended up walking 10 to 12 km throughout the day. I visited a beautiful church! A famous Catholic in Pamplona called “Catedral de Santa María la Real de Pamplona”. So beautiful, as Catholic churches are! I also shopped for a bag to send some of my overpacking to Santiago to wait for me. It was a nice break.Läs mer

      Nice walk to Pamplona... and then a day to take in the city...

      Started at 7:15 - for a change no rain!!! Had a super sweet coffee... from vending machine... added sugar before I could even stop! 🤣

      Stopped halfway for breakfast - spinach tortilla & coffee... and then June caught up with us again! Close to Pamplona there was a random guy on the hill with an orange juicer!

      Now just lounging around... Michael- the young dude that started with us in St JPdP gave me some damn good chocolate from bakery down the road.

      Met a young girl Soohi while doing washing and 3 young (21/23) year old guys in the kitchen... all on a journey to 'figure out' themselves and life... so young...

      Will play tourist tomorrow & then meet up with Jodie, Erica & Joan... will miss Amanda... she was good company

      (Not sure what happened to the GPS... one straight line from Zubiri to Pamplona... I did not fly 🦄)

      Zubiri to Pamplona

      22 juni 2022, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

      We have a wrench in the plan. It changes everything. I’ll get to that in a minute.

      Yesterday started well again. I think we were in a very nice groove of hiking by 9am and we felt like we were making good time. Jon has had some feet issues that has slowed him down a bit but he’s a trooper and isn’t complaining. He bought new boots for the trip and didn’t quite break them in enough. Also he has a heat rash all over his feet which also has turned into blisters. On the other hand Aiden brought a pair of hole-y sneakers (which I was horrified to see him wearing when it was too late at the airport because I asked him if he needed new shoes). His feet are fine and so are the rest of ours. Go figure. We got a stamp a few hours into our hike by a volunteer at a church who was also giving advice. Our goal was to stay ahead of the ladies group who had no image of athleticism but somehow was always on our tail catching up to us when we had just seen them doing yoga in a town square. How do they do it?!

      We always seem to drag after lunch and the last two hours are rough. But we made it to Pamplona by 2pm and checked into our air conditioned hotel!! Yay!!! Ollie and I went to the train station to get jet out reservations for Sarria. Here’s the snafu. No reservations available. Not for a week! We can’t get on a train!!!! The renfe site wouldn’t let me book the tickets ahead of time using my Eurail pass so it had to be in person. I worried about this part of the trip but assumed they could add more cars on a train if it fills up. Nope. I think it’s a combination of fires south blocking the trail, pope announcement that he’s going to Santiago, and maybe some construction on a route. It’s the trifecta of problems for us. In fact there are no trains to northwest spain at all. So… what do we do? Here’s our plan so far. We booked another night in Pamplona to rest and decide. Today we talk to the pilgrim’s office and make a solid plan. To be continued….

      Stuck in Pamplona

      23 juni 2022, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

      I left off this journal yesterday not knowing if we were going to get out of Pamplona and if we would even finish our journey. We went to bed after a few prayers a very lovely bottle of local wine (the waitress for some reason gave me the whole bottle?!) and slept in a great hotel with air conditioning and was served a genuine all you can eat breakfast (the boys made good on that deal) and suddenly the answer was in front of us. We needed to ask the pilgrims office for help. It just so happened to be right around the corner from our hotel. The pilgrims office helper called around and typed into his computer like a mad man and threw out the wild idea of taking an over night bus to Sarria. We had to decide how badly we wanted to finish this. Our other option was to head to the Mediterranean and sit in Barcelona for a week. Everyone agreed to continue on. I guess we are on a mission (dare I say “from God”?!). We leave tonight at 10:30pm and get to Sarria at 10:33am tomorrow. Then we start hiking again. Now, I know my limits. And there is no way I can do a 24km hike after a red eye bus ride. So we booked a taxi service to get us right at the 100km mark outside Santiago so our compestellas are still legit. We hike 10km (much easier) and stay in an apartment in Pontmarin and we are back on track with timing. I had already canceled all of my hotel and albergue bookings so we wouldn’t lose money when I thought we wouldn’t make it. So now we hike like real pilgrims with no plans and hope for the best. Buen Camino! (God is protecting us and helping is through the journey! I kind of think these frustrations are all a part of his plan to teach us. The boys definitely learned how to handle set backs. No one panicked. No one argued. We just worked it out and the answer was presented to us.)

      So what did we do with our time today? We walked around town and saw the running of the bulls road and the stadium. We saw the wall and the park. We sat in a cafe for hours while it rained and had hot chocolate and churros. It was a day of resting our legs. Jon bought some new shoes and socks and is already free of his heat rash. Oh. Also, I insisted on Donner Kebab for dinner. I lived in that stuff when Jon worked in Germany and I roamed the streets of Heidelberg every day. It was a fond trip down memory lane for me. Tomorrow we catch up to our schedule and are back on track.

      Bring on the bulls Pamplona!

      16 maj, Spanien ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      Pamplona! I’m here! Why am I crying??
      Lawd I couldn’t stop crying!!

      Anyways……

      Upon arrival at our hotel I felt weary and grateful. My legs were like spaghetti noodles. The hotel was awesome!

      I took a long hot and then a cold shower to reset.
      I rubbed my legs out hoping they would stop throbbing …………..and cried!

      Amy brought me a tasty cold Estella beer from the bar and delivered it to my room.

      After I cleaned myself up, I met up with some of the group to head out for Pintxos (Pinchos) bar walk.

      I walked with one trek pole to help support my knee and weight while walking.

      Walking through the streets of Pamplona was a nice introduction to the Spanish bar culture. The food and beverage were great and very reasonably priced. The architecture was fabulous.

      The cadence in how you order and communicate vino tinto con lemon and point at various Pintxos to order was fabulous! The scene was reasonably priced.

      Btw, I never had this drink vino tinto con lemon. Amy ordered it. It’s red wine with lemon soda and ice. It’s super refreshing!

      I chatted with various folks that are walking the Camino and listening to them inspired me and lifted me up. I went and had dinner with Amy and you guessed it …….I cried! Amy listened and lifted me up! 💜
      After dinner I was hopeful that maybe I could recover the next day but I didn’t know.

      THE NEXT DAY……YA’LL!

      I woke up and felt physically wiped out and a little bit better physically and emotionally. Not 100%, but better. It was a full rest day in Pamplona. I slept in. Chores needed to be done like laundry, get some euros, a stop at the pharmacy for medicine for my legs and some compression socks and knee sleeves. We also needed to book more accommodations for our stage stops after we leave pamplona. We had no place to stay.

      Amy checked in on me 😊 and went to have cafe con leche and start planning our next stage. I soon followed her down to the bar for Tortilla Espanol.

      It’s kinda like an egg and potato frittata, it’s super yummy and satisfying. They have different flavors. They salt the eggs perfectly!

      I sat with Amy to discuss our next stage. Our guide Nancy came to meet us and check on us and our planning. We are headed to Obanos tomorrow. The walk will have an ascent and descent.

      I did laundry, chatted with others on the Camino and now off to meet Amy for Pintxos, beer and wine! 🍷 💃🏽….

      Feeling lighter and happier. 😊 still crying literally!! 😊
