Cizur Menor

I didn't get any sleep last night.   I didn't think people could make that much noise snoring.  It was 3.30  a.m. the last time I checked my watch and then at 5.30 one of them woke me.   I only got an hour or 2 of sleep.    I decided I needed to get away from that group of snorers so I walked 30km hoping most of them will stop at 20 kim.    I was lost in Pamplona for a bit, I think that added a kilometre or 2. So I probably went 31km. I am back with the people that I was with the first night.   The distance was not as bad as I thought, during the last 4km my feet started to hurt.   I am staying at Albergue Maribel. The woman running the place is great she has been doctoring feet for a couple of hours. I have never seen so many blisters I feel sorry for some of these people. I keep telling them to take a day or 2 to rest but they won't.   I am sure some of them will not be finishing their Camino.



A few pictures of my walk today.  There was no rain but it was still overcast. This old house had a cemetery attached.



The signs you follow look like this. 

There were some horses on the trail today. See the bells tied around their neck.  You can hear the bells while you are walking along.  The cattle also have bells around their necks.

This is another marker for the trail, a simple red and white strip.

I walked a long way along the river today and crossed over it a few times.

I was excited to see this sign only 8.1km to Pamplona I only had to go about 5 km past that.

This was the only hard climb today I didn't even have to stop going up it. But I did stop at the top for a rest.

They even have tunnels under the hwy.

Another old bridge.  I saw a few today

See how dead it is?  Everything is closed on Sundays.

Neat street, I like the way they have the trees trimmed.

These are the markers in Pamplona.  They are right on the sidewalk, and I still managed to get lost following someone else.   That'll teach me to rely on other people to know where they are going.

The old section of Pamplona is walled

And there is still the draw bridge.  It looks like it would still work

Streets of Pamplona

Just a old building

The water fountain for the pilgrims 

Saw a lot of wild flowers.   These are poppy's,  they sure would look better with some sun shine

You know,  it took the taxi 1 1/2 hours to drive from Pamplona to Saint Jean Port de Pied, and it took me 3 days to walk it.
