Slugs

We have walked on and over some amazingly big slugs on the trail. Here is a photo of a small one!

Day 4 waterfall

Day 4 – Zubiri to Pamplona

The Camino was kinder to us today, we started out in the cool of the morning with a short hike up hill and out of town. The trail followed the path of a river for most of the day. The temperature reached about 26c, but was dry and

sunny. We had few hills to climb today, but nothing like previous days.

so about 22.4 km covered in about 7hrs 20min. The pace is a lot slower than our training runs, probably to the uneven ground and hills.

We made it to Pamplona, and have been to the Hemingway bar, the streets where they have the running if the bulls and we had Pinchos (tapas) and a vino for dinner. Sitting at our hostel now having a wine, chips and nuts.

A little worse for wear, we probably walked another 7km around Pamplona sightseeing. Tomorrow’s a big day, we have 25km to cover in 31c heat.
