with full tummies and happy minds.
We followed a straight road with many pilgrims, a pilgrim traffic jam if you like. The road was slowly climbing higher but it was gradual so we barely noticed.
Dare I say it was nice to be back in the hills!!! The flat terrain we had endured the last couple of weeks really messed with your mind with the monotony. Even the villages we walk through are more vibrant and pleasing to the eye.
Stopped for a break in Rabanal del camino and caught up with our Irish friends.
6km to go for the day and it was all uphill but not subtle anymore. A good test to see how much stronger we had all become. Passed with (nearly) flying colours
. Arrived in Foncebadden and had just enough steps left to get to the first albergue. Less said about that place the better. However next door tho, we discovered a medieval restaurant/bar that served, how do I say, slabs of meat!
Amazing and fabulous but not what we expected at the top of the mountain.
