Miss Town said you would have lots of questions but 5 on the first day. So I have some time tonight and I thought I would answer some.
1. What types of things made the cut?
2 pair of hiking pants, 3 shirts, 1 pullover, jacket, rain gear, mitts, hat, hiking shoes/ sandals, flip-flops for the shower, and then kits that I put on zip lock bags. The kits are:
Electronics - cords, chargers...
First Aid - band aids, cream for blisters, medications...
Laundry - soap, clips...
Misc. - shoe lace, string, headlamp, duct tape ....
What didn't make the cut is things like a hair dryer, make-up, mirror, books/camera (using iPod) , conditioner ....
2. Do you sleep outside?
No! We have been in hotels but tomorrow we will stay in an albergue (hostel). Miss Town can tell you about them. They cost from 3 euros to 12 euros. Sometes you also get a meal.
3. Will you be climbing mountains?
Yes! In fact tomorrow we will be climbing the Alto del Perdon, the mountain of forgiveness. It is a 350 m climb and we will be rewarded with beautiful views and metal sculptures of pilgrims. I will send a pic.
Big day tomorrow so I will answer the other questions another day. I have added some pictures of Pamploma.
1st We are at the Peunte (bridge ) of Magdalena.
2nd. Plaza del Castillo
3rd. Typical street in old Pamplona
4th. Cafe Iruna where Ernest Hemmingway always ate. We had a delicious Pilgrims meal there.
