Day 2: Along the Pyrenees

The crossing to Roncesvalles was 6-7 hours, started at 7:00 AM & took me 13 1/2 hrs. The last 8 km. was to be only 2 1/2 hrs. But the terrain was too steep as it got to Roncesvalles. I was the last one the mountain at 8:30 PM. It was good that there was still light. The big Albergue was full so I had to sleep in the overflow area in a trailer with 4 bunk beds, 6 women & 1 man. 

I met Ty Wheeler & his family. The 3 year old was riding a car shaped stroller. He took my pack & took it down the last 1 km, which was so great at it was getting dark. He asked if I can send him pictures as his camera was out.

Had dinner at La Posada, Pilgrim menu, 1st course was pasta with cheese, main course was fish & dessert was yogurt. This was in the movie The Way. 

At breakfast, the woman who served the cafe con leche was in the picture with Martin Sheen & the Spanish actress who was the hospitalera.

Buen Camino,
