Day 5 - Much Better Traveling Weather to Puenta LaReina

Today was a good day;  we left Pamplona about 8:30 am after having a cappuccino that was too hot and a warm ham and cheese croissant that was wonderful!  A much drier journey today.  Our group grew a bit this morning with Guy, who had not been with us before and who is from Israel.  About 9 am, I met a gentleman, Heinz, again from Germany.  We walked more of the day together than not.  When the group decided to stop for lunch, I decided I wanted to walk further today, so I left them after a hug.  I sure hope to see them again on the journey.  We shall see if that happens.  Heinz and I continued for another 6 or 7 miles to Puenta La Reina, which brought my mileage up to 15 miles for the day.  
I got a room in a hotel for the first time.  (Look at the first picture:  left side is yesterday's huge Albergue compared to my 10 X 10, but private, room and bath!)
Heinz is staying here also so we shared a delicious dinner and had an enjoyable end to yet another great day on The Way.  Also figured out I have 419 miles left (675KM).
You know, it was warm our first few days, then rain, and this day was great walking weather: cloudy and about 60 degrees.  I sure am feeling blessed and I hope you are also!  Good night all!

The hostel last night compared to tonight's room!

  1. Great choice from many that I've spoken with over the years. An alberge here & there with private rooms mixed in (or the majority--heehee) You've got to be able to relax and get your rest! Walk on.....
