Greetings from Spain.
We start off late this morning. Give us a break, it´s our first day.
The guides, and some people, have said that the first day is the worst. They weren´t running though. I walked the Camino with Arthur today. 14 miles, St. Jean to Roncesvalles and a lot of climbing. It was demanding. A good stretch of the legs you might say but hardly a near impossible feat. Certain sections of the climb, particularly between St. Jean and Orrison were quite tiring, but a steady pace get´s you through.
The country we are passing through is stunningly gorgeous, and although very hot, it is not the furnace temps forecast...so far.
So, we are kipping in the Monastery of Roncesvalles tonight and then off towards Pamplona tomorrow.
Wish us luck.
Oh, before I forget, and Arthur does his piece, yesterday after a couple of beers in Bayonne he said his pack was feeling fine (and made ´light´ gestures). Wonder what he will say in his blog.
My best and Love to everyone back home in wet and cold Blighty.
