It’s a happy day! After two days of hiking we made it over the Pyrenees, completing one of the most difficult legs of the walk. Yesterday was extremely steep and today was less steep, but long. Fourteen miles today and between the two days, at least 1200 meters of elevation.
Hard work, yet unbelievable. Spectacular views of grass covered mountains, lovely Basque farms, herds of sheep and cows, horses roaming free, and wooded paths. We felt like we were on top of the world!
We took many little breaks along the way (who’d have thought there’d be a food truck?) but our bodies didn’t feel overly tired, as our minds were enjoying the view and talking to other pilgrims on our path.
We had a delicious pilgrim meal at Orrison last night and met many people (lots of Canadians and Ausies). We will do the same tonight. And thenwe’ll crash. An even longer walk tomorrow. Can’t wait!
