[QUOTE="Takahiwai, post: 1226639, member: 112022"] A good week after my planned start date, I am finally here in Bayonne, with my very old friend, who shall be A in this thread. We have had quite the adventure in even getting to the start of our walk. My journey started in the peculiar capital city of Nay Pyi Taw, in Burma, and, four flights later, I joined up with A in London. Neither of us wanted to fly down to Biarritz, so we decided to take the ferry to Caen, and then use the train to get to Bayonne. Of course, nothing went to plan, and it took a bus, an underground train, an overground train, a ferry, another bus, a tram, yet another bus, a train, an overnight stop in Tours, and a BlaBla bus to get us here. The weather throughout France is absolutely dreadful. Our BlaBla bus had to stop for some time in a lay-by because the rain was so heavy that it was literally impossible for the driver to see where he was going. We have been here for 24 hours now, attempting to see the sights of Bayonne. The incessant rain and gale-force winds are very dispiriting, I have to say. A, a complete camino virgin, opted to stay in a private refugio here. I, a hater of dormitory life, am in a hotel. Neither of us is in great physical shape, but we're gamely ignoring that, and pretending that we're both about 25 years younger than we actually are. We're not totally stupid, however. Tomorrow's Gronze stage is around 30km to St. Jean de Luz, and we're going to break that up, and try to ease ourselves a little more gently into this walk. If you've read this far, and have a kind heart, please say a prayer that the weather will ease up a little for us, tomorrow morning. I seem to have forgotten the necessary cable for transferring photos from my phone to this laptop, so I'll try to add some directly from my phone, in a separate post. [/QUOTE]
