Day 1 = St Jean Pied de Port - Hunto.

I am learning very fast that no plans is best.  Today I left from St Jean planning to sleep at Hunto.  I explored St Jean until about 11h00 and then took to the road.  Dark clouds were gathering behind me and I barely started walking when the rain started pouring.  Real Cape Town Winter Rain!!  Very soon the path was shrouded in mist and rain and very steep.  I missed the sign for Hunto because there was no visibility and I was really battling up the very steep hill, just putting one foot in front of the other.  Next thing I know I was at Orisson, but there was no beds left and I had to go back to Hunto.  Hunto was good.  I shared a room with a lovely French Gentleman. . .he did not snore and we both slept well!  It was great having one bathroom between the two of us, but I am still getting used to sharing with other women and also men.

Cannot post any pictures on this computer but will update as soon as I can.

Buen Camino
