Ok, so I know most of you have given up on me seeing as I haven´t posted anything for 2 weeks...but quite honestly...that first week I couldn´t walk to the nearest internet cafe and that second week...well...it was quite nice not to be behind a computer at all...so apologies for the wait, but I will try and keep it quite chronological and post each day separately!
Just to keep everyone on the right page, we landed in Madrid on the Saturday, 15 September 2012 expecting to catch a train to Pamplona and a bus to St Jean Pied du Port (SJPP) on the same day...but as we have learnt, the Spanish are not always so accurate with times, distances and signs...so we missed the last train to Pamplona and had to spend a night in Madrid and catch the 1st train out the next morning!
But as they say...on the Camino everything happens as it should!
And we were meant to be on the square drinking a ¨Garre¨of Sangria and listening to the live band play so beautifully!
So we managed to make the train to Pamplona...have a super breakfast of coffee and chocolate croissant at the change over station...and managed to leave my envelope of clothes I was going to post to myself on the previous train...so kind person who finds my jeans and clean undies...please pay it forward and put a stamp on my parcel for me to receive in Santiago when I complete my journey!
So our walk started on Monday morning very early after a night in SJPP. The hostel where we stayed was ok, but the lady who ran it was quite something! Not the most pleasant French woman I have ever encountered! It was a place to lay our heads...and enjoy one...not two cups of coffee in the morning!
