We started hiking the Frances Camino Del Santiago in st Jean pied de port today. We first went to the official tourist office where you register as a pilgrim for the 400 mile hike to Santiago and they create a pilgrim passport to use to be stamped along the way to show that you have hiked the Camino.
We then hiked about 14 miles and 4000 feet of climbing and decent into the town of Roncesvalles. We are spending the first night in a huge hostel for only pilgrims that can handle 230 pilgrims in beds. The place is completely full tonight!
The hike included several hours of cold and in the clouds fog and wind.
Some burros, pigs and sheep were directly on the trail with us.
A shepherd lead his flock of hundreds of sheep in the road past us.
Climbing up and up and into the clouds for several hours.
