Day 16 – Hasparren to Buguete (Spain)

Rather than have another rest day I started off early.

IMG_0905 IMG_0907Some very steep hills to start the ride, really took it out of me. A boy leaving church decided to race me down a hill, he didnt stand much of a chance but when he ran straight into the signpost he was a gonner. I could have stopped to see if he was ok but i was laughing too much!

Got to Saint-Jean-pied-du-port in no time at all. Went and grabbed my credencial and got my first stamp. Got so excited by this I decided to carry on to Roncesvalles.

Crossing the border to Spain got me all emotional…stupid fool, but the hill climb of 1000m soon put a stop to that. Not to mention the rain!

Got my second stamp and then booked myself into a hostel.

Tomorrow I make a move towards Pamplona.
