Part 1: Days 1-5 of the Camino de Santiago
Day 1 of the Camino de Santiago 34km Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port and Roncessvales About to start the Camino! At St-Jean-Pied-de-Port I woke up at 5am in St Jean-Pied-de-Port and got ready. I went to have breakfast at the hostel at 6:30. I started walking at 6:50 with a French guy named Eric from the Island of Reunion. It was dark, so Eric had his headlight on until 8am. We were walking together for several hours. It was a lot of walking upwards, so we used the walking sticks. I had just bought some a few days ago in Bordeaux. We enjoyed the lovely views at the top of the mountain. At some point, I changed from pants into shorts, because it got hot. I had my passport with me in my pocket, which was not a good idea. At the Roland Fountain, I realized that I lost my towel. It was a special kind of towel which dries fast. It had been in one of the side pockets, and it had probably fallen out when I took out a bottle of water. But it was not a big deal. I could buy another one...
