      Rocesvalles Kasia's addition 😊

      11 September 2022, Sepanyol ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

      Since Tom took all the space with his pictures, I'm posting few of mine I can't resist. Few pics from our walk to Roncesvalles, and some from the town, which has 20 people, who are residing there.... There is no paid workers at the albergue, they are all volunteers, this time mainly from Netherlands. Wonderful service and giving back to the Camino Community ❤️Baca lagi

      Made it to Spain

      8 September 2022, Sepanyol ⋅ ⛅ 64 °F

      Today could be summed up with one word...ROUGH! It was, by far, harder then yesterday. But, after a lot of uphill walking and one panic attack, I finally got to the downhill part. That provided its own challenges, but I made it! My UK ladies left me behind first thing this morning. I've met more people along The Way to walk with. A special thanks goes to Dave and G, from the US, and John and Shon, from the UK, for talking me thru the last of my panic attack and walking with me the rest of the day. I was able to get a bed at Roncesvalles. Good thing. I know I could not have made it any further.Baca lagi

      Over the pass Napoleon took to escape

      24 Mei, Sepanyol ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

      Today was the second big walk up over the pyrenees and down to Roncesvalles where we are staying in the monastery which has been updated and is lovely. Last night was a bit challenging. Bunks too flimsy for adults and a really stuffy room. Luke warm showers and not warm enough to spend the afternoon outside. Today by contrast is all blue skies and much nicer hostel.
      Saw eagles ( I have decided they were golden) and all sorts of wild flowers and had lunch on a rock in the middle of nowhere. Most people are slower or taking the shorter route so we had the path to ourselves.

      Jakobsweg Tag 2

      10 Mac 2020, Sepanyol ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C

      Heute Morgen tat mir immer noch einiges weh, aber es war halbwegs erträglich...also weiter!
      Nach dem Frühstück wurden wir gefragt ob wir an einer Dokumentation über den Camino teilnehmen wollen.
      Diese wäre für Amazon Prime und wir würden zusätzlich noch einen Restaurant Besuch in Santiago de Compostella bekommen.
      Na klar wollten wir!!! 😉
      Dafür mussten wir erzählen wer wir sind, woher, wohin wir wollen und warum wir den Camino laufen.

      Danach machten wir uns auf den Weg zur nächsten Etappe, auf nach Zubiri!
      20 Km standen also heute auf dem Programm.

      Wir liefen in einer kleinen 5er Gruppe, Mal zusammen Mal zu zweit und manchmal jeder für sich.

      Das Wetter war viel besser als gestern und so wechselten wir unterwegs unsere Kleidung und liefen in Short und Shirt weiter.

      Unterwegs legten wir gemeinsam zwei kleine Pausen ein, tranken Kaffee und aßen Baguettes.

      Die letzten 5 Km allerdings wurden für mich wieder sehr hart! Mittlerweile hatte ich mir drei fette Blasen gelaufen!
      Und so schaffte ich es mit Müh und Not so eben in unsere Unterkunft!

      ALLES ab Po abwärts tut mir sowas von weh!!!!!!!!

      In unserem Zimmer war noch ein anderer Pilger.... haltet euch fest: ein gelernter Akkupunkteur!!!!!!
      Und so wurden wir von ihm "verarztet"! 😁👍

      Aber eins kann ich euch sagen: Nocheinmal brauche ich keine Nadel in meinem Zeh!!!! 😂🙈
      Das tat vielleicht weh!!!
      Aber ich musste so lachen! Denn als er mir die Nadel in den Zeh steckte, schrie ich wie ein Mädchen (gut das sich Frauen das erlauben dürfen 😁) und dann musste ich darüber so lachen, ich bekam mich kaum noch ein! 😂
      So sehr das die anderen mit lachen mussten.

      St. Jean Pied de Port - Roncesvalles

      20 Februari, Sepanyol ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C

      Nun bin ich den ersten Tag auf dem Camino! Nach der strapaziösen Reise über fast einen Tag und einer ruhelosen Nacht im Nachtzug, war es ein fast unwirkliches Gefühl, die ersten Schritte auf dem sagenumwobenen Camino Frances gehen zu können.
      Da die eigentliche Route der ersten Etappe aufgrund des Winters gesperrt war, nahm ich die Alternativroute über Valcarlos.
      Nach einer abwechslungsreichen Strecke war ich froh ein Bett in der Herberge in Roncesvalles zu bekommen. Hier traf ich auf die ersten Gleichgesinnten. Mit mir sind ungefähr 15 weitere Pilger unterwegs.
      Mit 25 km und ca. 900 hm eine ordentliche Etappe, um sich warm zu laufen…

      Hinter alten Mauern

      "Santa María de Roncesvalles
      ist ein alter Pilger Krankenhaus und Enklave von tiefer epische Resonanzen, mit aller Sicherheit, eines der sinnbildlichen Orte des westlichen Europas, an deren ausgedehnte Grenze immer der wichtigste und beliebstete Grenzstein für die Compostela Route betrachtet wurde."

      Valcarlos a Orreaga/Roncesvalles

      3 April, Sepanyol ⋅ ⛅ 59 °F

      I’m glad the Camino started with a good day, because today was a beat down. I got a bit late of a start at just after 9. I knew that it would be a lot of uphill, but I had no idea! I’m not sure the accuracy of this, but I found online that over the course of the 7.5 miles I walked, there was an elevation gain of 3,940 feet with a loss of 2,011 ft. I began using a mantra to keep myself going “poco a poco, paso a paso.” I’d keep my head down, pick a spot a bit up the trail, walk there, stop for a short breather. Repeat ad nauseam. Also, thank God for earbuds and iPhones- I was able to listen to some upbeat music, which helped. And just when I thought the uphill would never end, the trail let out onto a beautiful hilltop (unfortunately, I didn’t stay to enjoy it- nature was calling and it’s not the sort of place to dig a cat hole!)

      Check in to the albergue was easy, though a poor French girl in front of me was denied a bed as she didn’t have her physical passport on her. I bought food tickets for breakfast and dinner, but the assigned restaurant said they couldn’t accommodate celiac. Fortunately the next one I went to said they could, so I got the tickets changed. I’m a little nervous about how well they’ll do, as it’s a small place with probably hundreds of pilgrims. Prayers that they get it right and that my body does ok with the food!

      Only a few pictures today and no video because I was dead. Hoping for a good night’s sleep before a long day tomorrow- less elevation, so it shouldn’t be too bad 🤞

      Day 1 -St Jean to Roncevalles

      6 September 2023, Sepanyol ⋅ ☁️ 77 °F

      We got started at 7am , as the first part of the walk was thru the city of St Jean. The first stop for the day would be Orisson which is about 5 miles. While you are going up the mountain at the end of the first 3 miles I said to myself, this isn’t so bad , I can do this….. Well the next 2 miles is what people must be talking about:…Straight up for the next 2 miles , asphalt for the most part with a little of gravel path toward the end. It was a bit tough but in a good way. It’s your first day so the adrenaline certainly helps! At the 5 mile mark is a great hostel that has a restaurant that serves food and drink to all…Very timely! Many stay there for their day 1 end point but we were headed to Roncevalles a mere 10 more miles. At Orisson we were at 2700 feet so half the elevation was complete. With 10 miles for the second half, so must be less strenuous …. Wrong:) It’s all about when the elevation is on those next 10! All kidding aside the walk was challenging but not a killer. You will see many overlook pics primarily because I kept saying we must be at the top take a picture…well we weren’t at the top…. It just kept going! Then we did finally hit the top and started coming down. That’s when I confirmed that I really like going up better!
      Many gorgeous views along the way. The Pyrenees have a great mix of field and forest. Forest is mostly beech trees that are very cool to look at. Many goats, sheep , cattle and horses grazing the fields on the mountain. The horses had cow bells on their necks… first time I have seen a horse bell .
      About 5 or 6 miles into this section was another timely placed food truck that sure came in handy.
      We arrived at our end point in about 7.5 hours. Little over 16 miles traveled and according to my Fitbit 41,000 steps. Our hotel is right next to the towns church and had just started their daily pilgrim mass. Beautiful church packed with pilgrims!
      Tomorrow will be another 17 mile day but we came out of day 1 pretty good with no major pains just some minor aches. All in all great day. Lots of great thoughts and conversations along the way. Met folks from UK, Australia, France , Spain and South Korea . Only 1 from the US. She lives in Oregon.

      Over the Pyrenees to Roncesvalles

      4 September 2023, Sepanyol ⋅ ☀️ 73 °F

      After watching Candi start walking from Saint Jean, we started from the Croix Thibault and walked up and over the Pyrenees. ⛰️🙂 Alan’s foot did ok (yay) so tomorrow he will see if he can do the whole 13 miles to Zubiri. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

      It wasn’t a blue sky day, but we had much better views than the thick fog we had in 2018. We kept commenting on the views we had today that were non-existent back then. We could actually see the beautiful, strong, stocky horses 🐴 (and a lot of 🐑 ) on the hillsides, instead of just hearing the bells around their necks.

      It was extremely windy, but the sound of it blowing through the trees was soothing - plus it felt so nice and cool on my hot face (because it takes hardly anything to turn me into a sweat ball).🥵 The descent down to Roncesvalles is steep and tough on the body. We were glad to finally finish, get our packs off, take showers, and put on our sandals. I know for sure we will be sore tomorrow, unless the cold beer 🍻 cures it. 😂

      Tonight, we are staying at Hotel Roncesvalles and our stomachs are full from an amazing pilgrim dinner…scallops, cod, steak, mushroom risotto, apple pie and a brownie with ice cream. YUM! It will be hard to top. 😋😋

      So far we have met some really nice people already at the beginning of this journey, but a few really stand out.

      Pierre - He’s from Australia and is doing this walk because his wife, who passed away two years ago, told him to take a little time once she died to mourn, but then she wanted him to spend some time doing something for himself. 🥹 So, he told himself he would do something his younger self would have done, and the Camino is it. We hope to run into him more in these next few days and maybe help him celebrate his birthday in Pamplona.

      Gunnar: He’s from Belgium. He’s working on a Camino video and asked us if he could ask us some questions. In talking with him more today he shared his wife passed away in 2019 from a brain aneurysm. He decided right then to not wait until retirement to do things in life.

      Australian Couple:

      We met a really sweet couple who are walking the Camino with there 9 month old son. 😳 The mom was carrying him in front for three hours while we was sleeping and then, once he woke up, his dad carried him in child carrier backpack. The couple said the little guy enjoyed all the people talking to him. It kept him busy and happy. Maybe he will be one of the youngest Camino pilgrims to make it to Santiago. 🙂👶

      Fun fact learned today: When stung by stinging nettles, grab some dandelion leaves, smoosh the leaves up and rub them on your skin. It takes the sting away! Thank you to the Dutch woman for that. :)

      Tomorrow, our plan is to walk 13 miles to Zubiri - slowly, with lots of breaks. 🙂

      Second day

      21 Ogos 2022, Sepanyol ⋅ ☁️ 64 °F

      This is the second day of our Camino. We walked 5 miles the first day which took Sandi and I 6 hours. Meet a guy named Tim who walked the whole way with us. Great guy. Orrison was nice but warm and muggy. Showers were 5 minutes long only. Meal was great but the humidity made it hard to sleep.
      First half of the second day was just like the first day then we walked into Spain then down hill. Long walk over 10 miles. Buen Camino
