Biarritz, France

We have arrived in Biarritz after an exhausting day of traveling. Four flights and a 6 hour layover in Orly airport, Paris. Our hotel was SMALL but did the trick. I slept poorly, which is surprising considering how tired I was, still am. Maybe a bit of jet lag, it’s 9:36 am here and 12:36 pm back home.

This morning we used google maps to find the train/bus station and a post office, “Le Poste”. We have a few things we won’t need on the walk but will want later; IKEA bags to check backpacks in, a carry on bag, and not least some warmer jackets for our 3 night stay over in Iceland. Looking forward to that.

Today we are making our way to Saint Jean Pied de Port at the foot of the Pyranees and the start of the Camino. We will check in to our Gite and go to the Pilgrims Office to get a shell for Andie, a stamp in our credential, and get info about The Way. We will explore the town (Andie will love it, she’s already “in heaven” with Biarritz) and hopefully get a good nights test and head up the mountain tomorrow.

I’ll post more later, and along the way, as I can. Not everywhere has WiFi or cell service, so that will impact the frequency. We’re off!
