Sunday – we started out early this morning, about 7:45am it was a clear beautiful morning. We continued our walk up and over the Pyrenees. Then down the other side to Roncesvalles, and walking down was as hard as walking up. It was very steep. We stopped about half way at a van selling fruit, drinks, etc which appeared to run by some local shepherds. They herd goats, cows and horses, there are no fences and the animals are free to roam wherever they like. It was not as hot today, nor as humid so the walking was very pleasant.
