We Have Arived in Spain

We started out this morning at about 8:30 to climb the rest of the way over the Pyrenees to Ronsvalles. At breakfast we said goodbye to Seb and Anne for the last time, it seems funny that we will not see them again on the trip, as we have kep´t bumping into them for the last two weeks at the most unexpected times.


We set off with overcast sky and the wind blowing quite hard straight into our faces, the path took us uphill all the way following a tarmac road. After about 8 km the then took a track which wound up towards the boarder between France and Spain.

The wind was blowing a steady force 5 but gusting sometimes 6 to 7. We arrived at what we thought was the border, at about 11 am.

However, it was unclear to us where the border lay exactly, was it by the concrete posts with numbers on or was it at the cattle grid we walked over. We rather think the latter and so took photos.



We planned to then send a text message to the blog with a picture of the actual moment, we did this but something went wrong in translation and the picture will not appear on the post as it should, I will try and post it via the phone later as we have already paid Vodaphone their exorbitant data charges for the day.


we are now at Ronsvalles but the pilgrims office and accommodation are shut until 4 pm reports of the accommodation are not favorable to say the least, but we will be able to report properly about all this tomorrow.

Look out for the photo´s if I am successful.
