Woke up to a grey morning in Bayonne and after cracking the mysteries of the vending machine and getting my ticket I spent a couple of hours exploring the town before joining the gaggle of excited perogrinos on the bus. A number of them hit the trail straight away, probably heading for orrison about 8 k up the mountain. They will have an easier day tomorrow but I am not sorry to have had the chance to explore St Jpdp and its surrounds. The weather is glorious and is looking clear for the next few days. The albergue has a lovely garden in which I am catching the last of the afternoon sun, bells ching, birds chirping, delicious smelling dinner being prepared by the hospitaliero Jakline. I feel very grateful for my good fortune to be here doing this.
Tomorrow the big climb up to Roncesvalles.
