After some research and chats with the volunteers in the local pilgrim office I’ve decided I’ll head to the Camino del Norte, the path along Spain’s northern coast. This means I will take the Voie Nive Bidassoa and spend the next 3-4 days skirting over and around the foothills of the Pyrenees to get to Irun, the official starting point of the del Norte. This path is not well documented or well traveled. I’ll have to take each day as it comes and accept that this part is likely to be tougher than the well traveled path through France. I did go and find the first Way Marking today so I know how to get out of town. It was nice to get that out of the way without my back pack.
I’m in pretty good shape. I have 10 toenails and 0 blisters I’ve worn through one pair of sox which I was able to replace here in Saint Jean. My boots are in good condition, my shorts are getting a little loose but they should see me through. I’m nervous about the new adventure tomorrow but also looking forward to moving forward to the next stage.
