Enjoyed a great walk through the hills towards Saint Jean pied de Port. It got even hotter as the day went on and hit about 27c. I got attacked by another mutt, but I was ready with my staff and I made short work of it, I showed him who's boss! You don't mess with McGarry. Arrived at the refuge in St Jean Pied de Port. It felt great. This is where most people start the Camino across the Pyrenees to Santiago de Compostela - about 580 miles from here and this is where I started my walk I did earlier in the year but I only walked for about 10 days and walked a small part of it, this time I will finish it.
What a difference to the other refuges I have staying in, it's really busy and lots of good folk here. I've been chatting to Catherine and her children Tom and Libby who are here all the way from Australia and they are having a great experience on their journey. I think it must be a great thing to do with your kids - beats computer games any day. Had a shower and treated myself to a burger and a beer and went to Lidl to get some food for tomorrow as I know there won't be any shops on the way.
I've walked 25 miles today.
PS There are loads of pharmacies/chemist shops here and they display the temperature, in case anyone is wondering how I know exactly how hot it is.
