Jack Kerouac
Update from the Camino.
A near-0 day into Pamplona , tomorrow a 0 day to explore Hemingway’s “rincon”.
Excellent time to reflect and provide update.
April 14th , on a sunny morning the journey began, Saint Jean Pied de Port to Roncesvalles, via the Napoleon route. 24km, an amazing climb along green mountains and snow covered Pyrenean passes. A morning filled with the joyous movement of peregrinos,
Roncesvalles hostel was an experience in excellent hostel staff support. Check in, meals, even dirty clothes washed for 3.50euro. All done while I enjoyed a beer or two at local bar.
April 15th, Roncesvalles to Larrasoaña. 27.4 km, gentle rolling hills with a long, long , grueling descent. St. Nicolas hostel , the best 11euro diner ! The veg soup was delicious and combined with warm fresh bread to soak up the juice... incredible !
April 16th, Larrasoaña to Pamplona. 16.5 km, it rained last night and was gentle misting at start this morning. Made for muddy trails and lovely fresh landscapes. The moment I stepped beyond the outer wall of the city, I knew why Hemingway loved this place. The vibrant colors, the beautiful people, the energy embraced in the language , vino, pintxos and it goes on and on.....
Passion, live it !
Let others toil with fault and failure....
