Walk: Saint Jean Pied de Port -> Valcarlos (7.01 miles)
It had been raining overnight but had stopped by first light. An early start for us. We're on our way!
We managed to navigate the various options which kept us off the main road. We rested and refreshed at Arneguy where we crossed the border into Spain. The last hill up to the albergue at Valcarlos is a total killer! Started to rain just as we arrived, lucky or what!?
Nice bunch of people in at the albergue and they plied us with iced water which was very welcome. Met Leo from Atlanta.
Massive spider running around in the shower with me - I think everyone must have heard me scream.

Fantastic view from the municipal albergue at Valcarlos
And my watercolour of the scene...

Cream-spot Tiger (Arctia villica) that I rescued from the doorway of the bar and put in a nearby plant pot.
