Over the mountains

I have now cross the Pyrenees and survived. Very challenging walk but amazing and beautiful scenery. So, Day 2 is over and all good. No blisters but very tired feet. I´m glad to be at the albergue and able to rest. The local restaurant/bar has internet so I´m typing this as quick as I can so I don´t run out of time to post something. Sorry for any mistakes! I have met some wonderful people already, including a group of mad Australian women who have kind of adopted me at the moment. Also in this group are two ladies from the UK (Scotland and northern England). Together, we have having a ball despite the challenges of the mountains. I´m the slow one of the group but as we all walk at our own pace, often we only catch up at night to great amusement of our fellow pilgrims. I don´t think they would believe we only met yesterday. So much laughter and so little wine (fabulous). All great fun so far. The comradrie of the Camino is wonderful and very special. 2 days down and only 40 to go! The weather has been amazing and I´m glad to say it has been ideal walking weather, cool, especially high up in the mountain with the wind but sunny and clear after morning fog and cloud. I´m now back in Spain after starting in Southern France and enjoying hearing Spanish again all the time. I have some wonderful photos but no way to post them. If I get a chance to do so at another time, I´ll update the blogs so you may have to check back from time to time to see what I´ve been experiencing. Anyway, till next post (internet availability), I trust everyone is well. I´ll be thinking of you all as I walk. Chau y hasta luego.
