Roncevalles to Viskarret -12 km

Many pilgrims at the monastery last night were altering thier plans for today. The cold rain and sleet put many off waking early, as did newly found very sore muscles and bulging blisters.

As you are not allowed to stay longer than a night, many walked to the next village 2 km down the track to find a hotel or pension to hole up in.

We chose to just walk 12 km today. It was enough to warm the legs up and long enough to thank goodness we stopped when we did. 

The walk was scenic and I think we are easing into our groove. 

We splashed out and stayed at a pension.. Sort of a b and b..

So glad to lay down!! So delicious to have a long soak in a hot bath.  A pity there was no internet here ( thus this blog is late updating)
