I´ve got limited time online (sitting in a monastery with 120 people wanting internet via 2 PCs), so I´ll bullet point most of this. I can´t upload photos from here (no access to USB port), so I´ll add them later. Here goes...
* Departed Brad & Rose´s 8:30am.
* Took several trains to get to airport.
* Plane to Biarritz (France), then bus to Bayonne (explored for a while).
* Train to St Jean Pied de Port (the Camino´s starting point in France near the Spanish border) with 1~2 dozen other pilgrims. Many backpacks, many walking poles. Some pilgrims left the train running to reach the refuge first, but we had already decided to stay in St Jean Pied de Port for 1~2 days first as we´ve heard it´s a beautiful city. Stayed at Central Hotel for 70€.
* Was very proud & impressed at Hannah´s French skills -- organising accommodation, etc, within minutes of arriving in town.
