Today was a beautiful walk. We walked along the river to Estella. Tonight I stayed in Ayegui which is a small town next to Estella. The albergue is part of a sports club. You stay under the sports courts. It is great because they are all single beds. The man who runs it is great. He showed me around after I told him that I had stayed last year and was impressed with the changes.
Tomorrow I walk to Torres del Rio.

Pamplona to Puente La Reina
Today was a big day. Last year I walked in the snow over Alto de padrón pass so I was recall excited to see what was in store this year. Last year I was also really in great pain from getting used to the walking.
This year no snow!
It was windy and rainy but not to bad. As far as the physical stuff goes I am doing ok. I am a bit sore but nothing crazy. I am staying at the Jakob albergue in Puente la Reina. It is a beautiful village.

Zubrini to Pamplona
Today the walk was nice. It drizzled steadily but no big deal. Stayed last night at the El Palo Avellano albergue last night. Very nice. The walk along the river from Zubiri is beautiful.
This place is awesome. In the little village of Irotz this family has built a wood burning oven in the morning they serve tortilla, zumo Naranja and cafe con leche and in the afternoon pizza.
I remember this from last year.
We stayed at a newer Albergue in Pamplona run by 2 brothers. The beds were like pods. The even had pull done curtains. The highlight of the night was a communal dinner made by 2 pilgrims, Melanie from France and Johanna from Germany. We all helped out cutting up vegetables. It was great to have a group of people from around the world eating dinner drinking wine and having a great time.
