Roncevalle to Zubiri 22 km.
The walk today compared to yesterday was a breeze. I woke up this morning by the sound of pilgrams zipping up their backpacks. I am using the backpack zipping noise as an alam clock.
´zip zip´ sounds a lot better than my beeping alarm clock...
Met a great bunk mate named Oliver last night before I fell asleep. He´s a german through and through...but he speaks nearly fluent English and I welcome anyone with my native tongue...even if it´s as a second language. We decided to wake up at the same time and head for Zubiri together. BTW the http://www.caminoguide.net/ guide is a lifesaver. Anyone walking the camino should print one out for whichever camino you choose.
Walking towards Zubiri you pass couple of small towns. I wish I can load the pics but unfortunately there is no USB outlet...perhaps down in Pamplona. The small towns have a WW2 feel and I felt like I was walking through ´Saving Private Ryan´ Beautiful buildings with reddish roofs and red flower pots highlighting each windows...I can´t describe in words...but I feel truly knee deep in history here. I have couple minutes until my internet will shut down on me...1 euro per 20 min. I guess that´s the normal price in all Albergues. I will rest my feet and walk to Pamplona tomorrow...until then....Ciao!
BTW...
Everyone here has been wonderful to me today. I told one of my walking buddy that I turned 32 today. He told couple more walkers and they baught me couple beers at the bar in Zubiri.
Great great company...which makes me forget about all the pain on my feet!

ReplyDeleteI tried your caminoguide link though and it just took me to a domainparking page with lots of ads....
