Day 3: Zubiri to Pamplona

Another walk in the woods, even nicer than yesterday - there wasn't quite as much concreted stone to walk on, but rather more bare earth,  which I prefer
All in all, a very pleasant walk - until it wasn't. It was a bit of a shock to the system to hit big city Pamplona with a long walk along city streets
It felt quite different being amongst hundreds of people out and about, none of whom were pilgrims

It was a relief to hit the entrance to the old town with its HUGE walls
However, I didn't expect the old town to be so big and so teaming with people, presumably both tourists and locals (with the occasional pilgrim thrown in for good measure)

The place was buzzing, with hundreds of bars and cafes to cater for the hoards. And I see that I didn't even take any photos of the crowds - get me outta here!

I think I added another couple of kilometers to the day's total by visiting the famous running of the bulls sculpture (yes, impressive)...
...and the cathedral (right opposite my albergue) (and yes, pretty good, and allowed a welcome relief away from the crowds)
My feet struggled a bit on the hot pavement today, so it remains to be seen how they handle tomorrow with a longer walk planned

Border controls

It's not quite so much fun traveling to the other side of the world without my favorite traveling partner, Sue. Apart from everything else, she probably would have solved my navigation problems at the airport in Paris. I got through arrivals security ok using the new automated passport controls. Then missed a turn and went through departures security (oops), and then got stuck - the automated passport machines refused my re-entry. So I had to go in another long queue to go through the manual border control. All's well that ends well, so I had a day wandering the Paris streets... ... and a lot of waiting around, before boarding the overnight train to Bayonne, with just a short train ride in the morning to St Jean Pied-de-Port

Weather the weather

We had dodgy weather in Wellington for Monday morning's drive to the airport.  Dodgy as in torrential rain, flooding, road closures, Victoria Tunnel closed etc - thanks Sue for encouraging an early start So nice to have a clear sunny day in Auckland for the walk to the international terminal.  All good until it wasn't - a thunderstorm hit while waiting to board,  so they had to stop loading the luggage,  leading to a 20-30 min departure delay.  The storm didn't stop the loading of passengers, although we were met at the plane door by two cabin crew holding up food trays to keep the water pouring onto the boarding passengers.  One of them welcomed me, and I quote, with a "shower of blessings" We did arrive in Singapore pretty much on time. And here I sit in transit for 3 hours.  It's a long 32 hours Welly to Paris

The start of the way

Not long now before I put my pilgrim hat on and start walking. Overweight and under-trained, which is a bit of a worry as I shortly start an 800km walk along the Camino Frances from St Jean-Pied-de-Port in the south of France, over the Pyrenees, and across Spain to Santiago de Compostela.  If all goes well, I'll continue on to the end of the earth (a place called Finisterre, where the Romans thought the world ended) on the west coast of Spain - all up close to 900km Somewhat daunted by the prospect, not just by walking 25-30km day after day after day in the Spanish heat, but by the extended time away from family My flight leaves Wellington next Monday, 20 April
