Not a great nights sleep, my feet kept reminding me that I treated them poorly.
Good early breakfast to start the day so we were able get going by 8am. It promised to be a hot day.
Once again we started with a very steep exit out of town and into the hills.
We walk along a combination of washed out tracks, muddy trails, country lanes and bitumen road.
At one stage the trail was blocked by 5 large pine trees that blown over in a storm. We had to climb over and clamber underneath than to get through.
The trail today was almost without any services, villages, etc.
One of the Albergues had a small stand that supplied soft drinks for a donation, another enterprising lady had set up a stall on her drive way selling homemade snacks like fruit skewers, stuffed dates, fresh fruit, cookies, etc. It was a very welcome sight.
Another house allowed pilgrims to fill their water bottles from a tap.
But no real chances to sit and rest.
We arrived into Larrabezu, walked into the first bar we found for a cold Aqua con gas (sparkling water).
Our accommodation is still a further 2km out of town, off the Camino and up into the hills. It’s a home stay run by a lady that does not speak any English.
