Ahh Zubiri!


Hiking Into Zubiri!

August 25 – Day 3

Hi All:

Last night my knee ached and today’s walk was 26 Km of constant up and down hill. I decided to be smart and have a joyful bus ride and save my knees for tomorrow’s walk to Pamplona. I could not walk and climb again without injury. Helen joined me on the bus and we arrived early in the town of Zubiri. I did manage to walk 11,000 + steps looking around Zubiri. It is magnificent as are the people. Today was “Spanish Cocktail” day. I sat by the old Roman Bridge and the stream enjoying chatting with Helen in the sunshine.

These are other photos of Zubiri!

This is the distance by road. I am going as the crow flies which is longer. Someone should have told the dam crow to fly around mountains, not over them!

Last night I slept at an Albergue with 200 other people. Oh the Camino nightly serenade of coughs, burps, darts, and snores was LOVELY! In Zubiri, the 8 of us are sharing 1 room full of bunk beds. It looks like the lone Hikingdan, has met an entire group of hiking friends. We will ravel together as long as we can.

Tomorrow, we are staying 2 days in Pamplona and sharing hotel rooms! Bathing our feet, sleeping well, and sight seeing are high on my list of things to do.

 

KEEP WALKING!

  1. Dan,
    You look like you are having soooo much fun, and you are meeting lots of new people and seeing incredible sights.

    It is wonderful to wake up each day to see your pictures and hear about your adventures.

  2. Hi Dan,

    Sorry to hear of your knee pain. Great idea taking the bus a little. I use a walking stick for downhill and it is helpful uphill too. Did you use earplugs to dull the symphony in the hostel?
    Keep walking.

  4. Hi Dan, We are friends of Kathy’s and we are enjoying the ride all the way!!! Love all of the great pictures, especially the greenery. We are in a drought here so this is quite a treat. Sounds like you all are having fun. Say hello to Kathy and enjoy the rest of the way, cause we certainly are!!!!! Elvera and Manuel

  5. I have been surfing online more than 2 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be a lot more useful than ever before.
    I’ll immediately clutch your rss feed as I can not in finding your e-mail subscription hyperlink or e-newsletter service. Do you have any? Please allow me understand so that I could subscribe. Thanks.
