Zubiri to Pamplona

Getting ready to leave Pensione Amets at 7:15 (pretty good for us) and decided to grab breakfast along the way. I'm having a bad hair day:


Decided to go with my clean green shirt today.  On our way out of Zubiri and back over medieval bridge.



Coming into Zubiri was a steep decline so we started the day going back up.


Walked through some beautiful small towns as we kept looking for cafe to get cafe con leche and breakfast.


The path is well marked.



Marilyn leading us onward.

Breakfast/lunch and java at 11:00

Cafe and tea and frittatas 7 euros:

I was almost done eating before I remembered to take a picture - it was tasty. Marilyn raned her plate too.

And another medieval bridge in the back ground.


How the path is marked on pavement in Pamplona.


And yet another medieval bridge in Pamplona.


We checked into the Hotel Europa and did the routine - showered and laundry.

Walked around Pamplona. The area for the bull fights:

Gate where bulls run into the arena:

Streets where bulls run:

We had pinchos aka tapas for dinner and chocolate croissants for treats and a beer to wash it all down.

It's crazy busy - I never thought so many would be on the camino in September. Hard to get places to stay. People are calling ahead, we don't have phone, or leaving early to arrive by 12 or 1 to get a bed.

Heading out tomorrow for Puenta la Reina and hoping we have a roof over our heads!

Buen camino

Yikes!
