Again, crappy night sleep - these friggin snorers should not be alowed in hostels!!!! Could hear this guy even with earplugs and pillow over our heads!!!! Arggghhh!!!! Hello grumpiness!

So, like the five fingers of the hand - the Belgium Boys, Pia (our German mate!) and us, had breakie together at the hotel in town. We started walking around 9am. It was the firt nice sunny day there - yes, no rain and some sun!!! We went through small towns (really small towns!), forests and farmlands and managed to find our hotel in Pampluna at 4:30pm. The guidebooks all said that this part of the Camino was 20 km. Yah, BS more like 25-28! We are all discovering some interesting body parts - and yes, Ju too!

On the road today, after our lunch break.

Went for dinner all five of us for tapas, sangria and vino. Pamplona is an interesting city, it's totally dead during the day, but watch out nightlife!

Hey Hannah, It's Aunt Tracey here. Thanks for your note. I can't wait to hear you play violin the next time we're together. I'll danse a jig while you play. Here are some of the answers to your, your mom's and grandma's questions... My feet are in rough shape. I have two huge blisters on the balls of each foot and with each step I want to poke my eyes out. Our Belgium boys are on the road for only more more week and hope to come back in May to continue. Pia is going right to the end and has six weeks to do it in. Love you guys!

Wow! Quel courage et quelle endurance! En lisant ce blog et en regardant les photos, je dois dire que moi aussi je vous envie toutes les deux de respirer cet air des montages, de partager avec ces camarades du vieux continent, de savourer les mets espagnol bien cuisiné avec de l'huile d'olive à n'y penser mes papilles salivent...miammm... Suerte para lo que siga companeras! Un abrazo fuerte Judith, sgi (sofia)
