Just back in our room after a wonderful communal dinner in our gite in Navarrenx. For now just some photos, but I may come back to this post when time allows. It was an unusual day, that included aもっと詳しく

旅行者 Jenny, it’s so lovely to rewalk my recent Camino with you on Find Penguins! Me, too, I stayed at the Ferme Bohoteguia… ☺️ Looking forward to the days and stages ahead! Bisou de l’Allemagne!
旅行者 So wonderful for you to revisit places you have stayed before ... and to sample new ones ... that’s exactly how I like to do it now ... and, if at all possible, I will be aiming for the same next year ... 10 years since I first walked the Via Podiensis ... bonne continuation mes amis🙏🏽

A brief update tonight here in Saint Palais. We came across a lovely American couple we’d met about 4 or 5 days ago, so we enjoyed an aperitif with them before dinner, so signing off a little laterもっと詳しく

We had only 15 kms to walk today so we had a late start so we could visit the Refuge Les Franciscains - a beautifully restored Franciscan monastery, now a cultural centre, peaceful gardens andもっと詳しく

Just a quick note tonight. Glorious Pays Basque. Hopefully the pictures illustrate what a wonderful day it was. A short distance with a few long climbs but the views made it all worthwhile.

SJPP = Saint Jean Pied de Port
We had a most enjoyable and leisurely walk into SJPP arriving around 12-30. It’s a town we know well and it never loses its charm for us. I had planned to write moreもっと詳しく

Today’s path on the Route Napoleon over The Pyrenees, from France to Spain, can only be described as glorious.
It’s a long climb up to 1450m and then a steep descent. And after the first 8 kmsもっと詳しく

Mostly photos again tonight.
A good day’s walking, mostly ‘tranquille’ but with a tricky steep 4km descent into Zubiri on loose rocks, which my right knee is not happy about. 🥺
Excellentもっと詳しく
旅行者 Hope you’re enjoying being back on the Francés! What are the crowds like at the moment?
旅行者 Thanks Nick. Plenty of pilgrims - more than I’d have thought for this time of year - but doesn’t seem crowded on the trail. It’s been 10 years since I last walked the Frances. Trying to take it as it comes - and not compare - but one thing I notice is the visual clutter - more signs, advertising, graffiti. 😎
旅行者 Courage avec ton genou droit, Dominique. Ça va aller ! St Jacques veille sur vous deux...Vous me faites rêver avec votre voyage à pied, si extraordinaire. Maintenant que l'Hospitalité de Lectoure est fermée, je continue à être pèlerine grâce à vous...Merci de ce beau partage.

Wherever we walk on the Camino, we start our day by singing that song. 🎶
旅行者 Oh I didn’t know. You and Rachel are special pilgrims 🙏
旅行者 Just as you both are, Jenny! 🙏 We're enjoying reliving our Camino of 2018 through your walk.
旅行者 🙏
