Oh my God

The walk from Orrison to Roncesvalles was one for the books. First up, up, up. At the top you cross over the Pyranees. Beautiful landscape with many sheep, goats, and horses.
Then down, down, down.
 The trail, which is rockey and muddy, drops about 400m in 4km. Unlike anything I've done before. Treacherously beautiful.
When Lori and I finally arrived to Roncesvalles 8.5 hours had passed. 
The albergue here is great and it seems that a shower, hot meal, friends, and several bottles of red wine go a long way to bring one back. We will find out today as we head toward Zubiri.

    Very interesting. How are you feeling? As the clicks pass, you will find more strength.
    Sounds like around 20 down and 480 to go.
