Pamplona and Alto del Perdon



Hi everyone
The past two days have been a lot of fun. I chose to walk alone and it has been just lovely. The first couple of days I was buying into the early start and rushing to the next location per the map. It just got me lots of blisters. So I decided to slow it down a little.

I walked from Zubiri to Pamplona. Although I had not been planning to walk that far. But when I wanted to stop the albergue was not open so I pushed on and then it was only 4 km more. Then I got lost in Pamplona which I am sure added 4 - 5 km more for a total of 29 km day.

Here are a few of the signs that we watch for to follow. Although leaving Pamplona this morning everyone was so helpful pointing me in the right direction when I looked the slightest bit lost.


 
Alto del Perdón
This was the highlight of my day. I have watched this part of the movie The Way so many times and today I was actually there.  I stood by the puppy because I miss Avro so much.

I stopped taking pictures of the panoramic views because my phone will not do them justice. Just know the walk up was steep and difficult but worth every step.





I was suppose to walk to Puente La Reina today but it was just so hot that I could not go one more step. So I stopped at Muruzabal which was 4 km short. I even got a bottom bunk, Yeah!!!

I will try and get a good night's sleep and leave a little earlier tomorrow to catch up. I kind of miss the group I was walking with from the beginning but it is all about adjusting to change and the adventure.

Thanks for following along. It is so much fun sharing with you all.
