Day 2 - St Jean to Roncevalles



Everyone where we were staying was up early and on the road. We left the hostel around 7.15. If all the hostels are as good as the one we stayed in, we will be delighted! 20e for a bed, breakfast and pilgrim meal..

We were in Orisson by 9 and Col by midday.. The first few days are said to be the toughest and I really hope so with my legs pretty sore and tired after the first day of walking. We met Bob from Oregon when we were leaving St Jean and he will be walking with us for the remainder of the Camino.

I met a lot of people today, they all had their own reasons for being on the trip. One of which was a couple from Celebridge. Their 21 year old son died of a sudden death and they decided to do the walk in memory of him. Only a day into it now and already the stories and people I have met are amazing.

By starting where we did this morning the whole Camino will actually be 825km as opposed to 790km and we covered 32km of it today.

Awesome day and relieved to have covered such ground!!

Talk soon,
Ger
