French camino - Pamplona till Puente de la reina

Date: 22/09/2016

Distance: 24km

As normaly start my day with my breakfast like I was a very rich person. Ehehe


Start walking and in the way I saw Ger. Thought lets scray him. But I was not sucess. Lol
Between bla bla I know that I was walking and then hit him in my head. God!!! Forget the shoes. Yeh. I was walking with my news ssandays and forget the shoes. I was so tramaumat that I sleept with the sandals in my bed. Well in the albergue there were so many people. And the snorring!!!! Wanted to kill someone sometimes.

So in that day I lost 1 hour walking because I went back to Pamplona. Yeh life. And During camino I was always losing something. Maybe its is why I dont have a man, its not that they run away from but I forget them ehehhehe maybe not......depends. :)

So when I was walking again meet a guy called Roman. Half romenian and half german, very nice. But lost him in the way. I had to stop and he also walks fast I guess. I did saw one day more in bodegas de Irache, but never again. Its life. Sometimes does not mean nothing. He's first day was in Pamplona, like me last year.

French camino - Zubiri till Pamplona

Date: 20/09/2016

Distance: 20km

Even thought I was in my tend, sensitive as I am, wake up and was still night. Or at least not completly day, was 7:30 and heard the Irish group walking. Of course I did not went out of my bed. Too lazy for that.

In that day maybe also only start walking at 10 am something like that. Not sure. But took my breakfast in the cafe and needed time to wake up and be relax. This time did not rain at night and very cool to be near the river.

The day of walk was good, still fresh. Yesterday night also took a aspirina, the last one. And I puted in a glass of wine lol. I am not sure if was the wine or the pirineus that make fell after good hours some pain. Maybe the pirineus, because wine its always good.

Someone told me that Port wine with 300 years old its still good to drink. Not like man ahahhaah so wine its better that man. Well . if I think about it, the wine always make smile. In the other way, man....hum...yeh wine its always better. But just in that fountain is free, or when a man offers to me ahahhahaha

This last photo was a good nemorie. 

I was walking fast, and catch some people, was Leora and Ronny. I start to speak with them and then I sayed:

- we are almost there. 

Poiting my finger I sayed:

-Its Pamplona, its Pamplona!!!

I was very entusiastic.

Leora was not certain, and then she sayed maybe its not Pamplona. But I was confident (I guess my glasses are not good). After some metros I look again and I sayed:

-yeh maybe its not Pamplona. pamplona its bigger. 

Disolusion it was. We needed to walk a lot more. God. After that I spead again and after a few kilometros put music and spead even more because I wanted to reach the place. Desesperation I guess. 

Walk, walk...and find some city or whatever.  Saw a Irish guy that I had meet the day before, and I sayed to him:

-catch you

He replay:

-i stop here to take a beer

Bla bla bla

Start to walk again because I wanted to reach the place. He also walks fast, as the english guy that was with him. 

It was amazing how old people could walk more fast that me. It made me think...

So reach the place and relax alone, went to the cafe and catch wi fi and then I was trying to find people I had meet before. Specialy Maggy that did went to the hospital. So I went to meet her and I was with her. Decided to stay in Pamplona 1 day. Every body was happy, it would be party at night. Not big party, but...well did arrive more else at 4am at home. 

And yes! Had a stupid idea and wake up at 7:30 and did something that only a girl would do. Yes, I know you want to know, but imagine if i write everything ehehehhehe. 

So next day 21 I was in Pamplona, went to a Albergue Jesus Y Maria. Wash clothes and tenis. And of course with m

Nothing in the feet went beary foot and buy my new sandays. 

To be sincere some things I dont remember well. But the firsts days were better. More in front in the desert was worst. 

French camino - Roncesvalles till Zubiri

Date: 19/09/2016

Distance: 22km

Wake up with the noise of people waking up. I notice that people wake very early. It almost seem a race this camino. I do confess I walk fast, but my strategy was that the more fast the less time with the bag, then I would stop more times. So this way I could also enjoy and rest of the bag. More in the end I was used to the bag.
So I did not took breakfast, when I went out side the main bilding was closed. Of course I had my food, so outside I eat my special deayuno.

Saw some guys, they were not pilgrins, but they were tooking photos, so I thought I will ask them to take a photo of me. So here I am;

After I eat I thought again I will catch many people. Lol confident. I did catch, but sometimes after a time I lost them. Because I made stops. So many people I meet. Well to some of them I was invinting to a party.  A idea ( that it was not mine, i stole it) to make a wine party in the fountain in Bodegas de Irache.  Some people sayed yes, but ... Well...

This last photo, its not good. But it was there that I did camp. Again only went at night to put the tend. 

Reach Zubiri, but the last kilometres seem a lot more that it was showing. Well well. 

More at night, because I spend my time in the cafe, I meet more people. Amazing people. 

Well nothing special to do, so we drank sangria. Maggy the Italian girl she went with me to put the tend. And we did a little party near the river with music. Of course after she went to the albergue and I was in my little house.  

So here there is Brasil, Australia, Italy, Korea, Japan and Filand.

Luana, Masami, Annita, Renee, Morena, Fernando, Fatima, Maggy, Laura and Jung.

French Camino - Saint Jean Pied de Port till Roncesvalles

Date: 18/09/2016

Distance: 25km

Wake up in my tend, so good to sleep alone. (Sometimes) Since I was lucky to be in the camping park, so I took a bath before walking to the top of pirineus lol. Never know what you can find there. Ahahha
So...did my things and come with the tend in my hands to the cafe. It was wet. :) so of course me being lucky, in the morning was the sun smiling for me. Put it in a place were it could dry and went to eat my desayuno.
After that went to buy bananas ahhahahha a woman always needs bananas. :)
No photo from the tend, and it was like this most of time. When I was inside I would think tomorrow morning I will take a photo, and then I wake up, pack everything and then it comes the memory that I did not took the photo. One day I did remember, it was a very beautiful sunrise from my room ( my tend) but the cellphone had no battery. This is what you get when you want to put music at night. Lol

Well... More else at 10:30 i start to walk. Did not look the time well, but I think it was that time. And I was thinking, even so I will catch many people for sure. A few I did catch, but some of them are very fast, or they dont stop. And I had to stop for several times. So I only reach Roncesvalles at 7pm more else.

In this day did not learn nothing yet. I was confident, and did meet nice people on the way. 

In Orisson meet again some people. I saw Yoki and Mun, and also Sally. In that day they decided to stay there. 

Sally is from Australia, I meet her in the train between Bayonne and Saint Jean. A amazing person, she is in a kind of way an inspiration for me. 64 years old and she was alone, so in that moment I was thinking inside my selve - "what was I afraid of?". She sayed to me that one reason that she was alone, was that this way no one is responsable for her, and also she is not responsable for no one.  She had the things plan, she was doing parts of camino. We need always to be wise and dont underestimate our capacities. 

When I arrive to Roncesvalles I wanted to camp, but it was very cold, so give up and went to the albergue. There is just one. And I did went prepare with food for that day. 

But in that day I was not lucky, lost my sandals. I think someone stole me. I did went 500 metros again back in the way, and did not see nothing. Some people I meet near Roncesvalles told me they saw the sandalys in my bag near to reach the place. Maybe its a lesson - do not be so attached to things and money. After days I spend a lot of money in a new sandals, but the problem was that my feet needed time to fit to it. 

In the first day I took a aspirine, because also I did nothing of sport before lol. Only some walking in Lisboa, but not pirineus. 

The man of the albergue was so nice. Dont remember the name. But he was amazing. If I was more old ....hum ahahhaha

So i was in room with more people, and some of them I meet in camino. Fatima, Fernando and Morena, fantastic people from Brasil. They bought me a icecream because they knew someone stole my sandals. So God took me sandals and give me a icecream. He is a funny guy.
