Set out at 9 a.m. to begin the walk to Pamplona. The day was shaping up to be another hot one, but luckily a fair amount of the way was shaded. I walked quite a bit on my own today which was peaceful. The walk itself was undulating with a few good climbs, but nothing compared to the first few days!
Even when you think you are alone on the Camino, you always seem to meet up with someone along the way. I walked with a woman from Switzerland who lost her husband suddenly nine months ago, a couple of Spanish women from the previous hostel and I finished the journey to Pamplona with a nice woman, Ruth, from Ottawa.
I had intended to stay at the Municipal hostel in Pamplona; however I met up with the two Spanish women again and they led me to Casa Ibarrila - a relatively new private hostel where the beds are set up like "pods". Each pod has a screen you can pull down so that you have privacy - there is a light, plug and locker in each pod. It is a pretty neat place and not near as noisy as
the much larger municipal hostel.
Met a nice young woman from the Faroe Islands here (a tiny string of islands near Iceland and Denmark).

What a fantastic Blog, Lynda.
Wow... You are having an amazing trip. It reminds me of when I was travelling in Southeast Asia in '96 to '97 and meeting people along the way. How easy it is to make friends with almost anyone!! Looking forward to more posts. Travelling right along with you. :-)
