Getting here was fun – especially at 180 MPH – love these trains …
….. and starting where I left off in Sept – was a must – # Camino Law No 1 – …. here on this same bar .
……… 6.00 am came with that first steps anticipation from the Alberque – waking way before the Sleeping city .
….. heading for trad’ breakfast of coffee and tortilla
… taking Trek advice from one who’s been here before me ……
……. and onwards to a compulsory stop 20 k further on …
Before the first nights stop in a village near St Martin called Villavente.
A tough first day …..,,,,
that creates its own reward of hearty food and iced beer at Alberque St Lucia – deserted this night – 5 good people only as the Pamplona / St Fermin wave is still two days behind me.
and bed by 9.30 before curfew lights out .
