Leaving in the early morning, I was again struck by the beauty of this village.
The girls in my group are in much better shape than I am. They were down the hill and ready to go way ahead of me!
and they smoked me on the road!
At the crossroads, Linda and I took the road. I had a much more difficult time walking this year than ever before, having not had time for any training (and the spare tire around my middle!)
I arrived at Orisson some time after them. We had hours to spare before the taxi arrived and spent the morning no and early afternoon eating soup and drinking beers!
At 2 pm the taxi FINALLY arrived - and we shuttled down the mountain. 2.5 hours up and 8 minutes down!
We had an hour to wait for our Gite to open.
Tomorrow we will shuttle up to Orisson and continue our walk to Roncesvalles.
Only 2.5 hours up?! Holy moley!
