Paris to St. Jean Pied de Port


1...2....3 here we go....

One more sleep and I am officially walking the Camino.  I arrived in St. Jean Pied de Port after a full day of train travel. I followed some pilgrims who looked like they knew where they were going and eventually found my way to my first albergue.  It's called Gite Azkorria. I have three room mates. A woman from Brazil and a father-daughter team from Wales.

I have not mentioned my cpap machine but I am hoping to fall asleep when all are out. 😉

I picked up my credentials and my shell. I also found a little shop and picked up cheese, almonds, water, a nectarine and a banana.

Then found a garden restaurant to have my first pilgrim meal for $12 euro.

It's 8:30 and I am ready for bed. It will be an early day again tomorrow. I want to start before 7:00 am to give myself lots of time to get through the 25 km tomorrow.

Wish me luck
