Puenta la Reina

Getting used to the internet here is a challenge. Yesterday I cut short because my time was runnin gout. Day 2 from Roncavalles to Pamplona proved to be our next adventure. We walked for most of the day in the rain. Breakfast in burgette and lunch at Gerendiain. Lots of pilgrims and not many places to get out of the rain. but ponchos and rain gear did their thing. Arrived at Zubiri about 4pm. We were alll very sore and ready for the end of the day but alas it was not tobe because there was no room at the Inn in Zubiri. No room at any Inn. Nothing! So we motored on to Larrasoana which was another 5km. Very tired, very weary, but again no room at the Inn. but local people were amazing. We found a taxi driver who knew someone with a Pension in Pamplona. Aftr a very long 10 minutes more like 45 min. 5 of us piled inot a taxi and were trasported through torrential rain to the centreof Pamplons. Were we cheating? We were eternally grateful that we got a bed that night. It was not what we ex`pected or where we expected but it was good, real good. We had a suite on the 3rd floor with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. That was the best. Had a quick snack at the hotel next door then crashed into bed. That was day 2.
