Navarre

Left San Sebastion on Saturday morning, in more heavy rain, heading south thru the mountains into Navarre region. Drove thru Pamplona (famous for bull running) but did not stop cos it was very busy and nowhere convenvient to park. Then we hit pilgrim trail at a place called Puente de Reina where an ancient bridge crosses the river Arga. Lots of pilgrims looking very bedraggled - what a week to be walking! Stayed 2 nights by the river on a big site but only few tourers around. Weather has inproved a lot but still cool and now rather windy. The walk up to the nearby old hill top village was very interesting, not many people around and seems to be summer holiday retreat. Cooked and ate outside for the first time - till the sun went in!
