Day 4 Zubiri to Pamplona

In Pamplona, with a rest day tomorrow. I’m so exhausted I can’t think straight. I’ll write a proper post tomorrow.

PS My feet hurt. A lot.

We left Zubiri about 7:30am.  We got breakfast after walking 5km at Larrasona.

It was warm. We stopped to look at a 13th century church at Zabaldica, and climbed the bell tower to ring the bells.

After that it was the hard hot slog through the suburbs of Pamplona. We arrived very tired looking forward to our rest day.

Day 3 Roncesvalles to Zubiri

That next challenge I requested in my post yesterday? I got it today … walking 22 kms with aching muscles and sore feet. Not a huge deal, but I wonder how many days of walking it’s going to take before it feels okay to set off each morning after putting in 20+ kms the previous day. Our day started early – keen Pilgrims started waking up at 5am, and the main lights in the refugio were turned on at 6am, so we were ‘up and at it’ just after 7am, as it started getting light.  I’m not sure of the wisdom of walking in the dark for a couple of hours – seems like a good way to end up lost or injured, but each to his or her own. It’s their camino
