That’s right, I caught a boat today. I’ll get back to that. I had an early start leaving Irun. The way took me over a bridge and along the river before heading out of the city onto dirt paths and the start of a climb. I looked back onto France and the Pyrenees.
I then walked over rural climbs that lead into the clouds and eventually the heaviest rain I’ve walked in so far. The cloud was heavy at the top of my climb and I missed some coastal views. I then went back down, a long and slippery descent that would lead me to Saia Donibane. From there pilgrims rely on a small pedestrian ferry to move us across the river before we start another big ascent beside coast. It was so fun to be on a boat.
I then headed back down into San Sebastián where I’ll spend the night. One night is not nearly long enough to explore these streets, but I will continue tomorrow. I think I’ll come back one day with some nicer clothes.
By heading north and traversing the Pyrenees I added about 150km to my journey, but that coast has delivered and made the traverse worth it When I left Irun this morning I had 828km to go to Santiago. I’ll get there.
