Swing Low Sweet Chariot

Day 3 took us from Roncesvalles to Zubiri. Again, beautiful scenery and a challenging walk.   Our legs are feeling a bit wobbly and sore and our knees are stressed from all the downhill (I wish the downhills were snow covered and I had my skis). Fortunately there is no real pain and I have only one small blister. Let's hope that continues. The weather has turned HOT. It's beautiful but relentless.    We walked mostly through steeply rolling hills and woods, with a quaint Spanish village thrown in here and there. Up down up down, I really don't know which is worse.   After about 6 hours of slow walking, with about 4 to go in the peak heat of the day, we stopped at a bar for lunch and a cervesa. It didn't take long for us to ask the (very nice and helpful) owner to call a taxi for us.  It was pleasant driving up and down and up and down the last 10 km into Zubiri. Nathan had already booked us into a very nice Albergue where the 3 of us are sharing a room with 4 bunks. The27€ includes dinner, and the aromas emanating from the kitchen are amazing. Buen Camino!
