[QUOTE="Erromesa, post: 859383, member: 95333"] I started off on the 1st of July, departing from Irun to Hernani, where I stayed the night at the house of some friends. Hernani is an impressively beautiful town with a great ambiance. 26km in total. 7 hours like it said on the brochure, but this my first time walking such considerable distances and I'm quite out of shape. I'm sure others could reduce that down and still visit things off the track. The problem with being out of shape and trying to match the time as written on the guide map is that I kept my head down in many parts in order to reach where I needed to go...missing a great part of what makes walking attractive. The second day from Hernani to Bidania. 29km, but I got seriously lost going back and forth trying to find the way and it must have been 33km. Yes there are markers but in some crucial points there weren't any: I'm thinking about the way from Andazarrate to Iturriotz. Luckily the days are long and I reached Bidania around 9 (!) pm with light. Oh, and there was a lot of rain and fog I was soaking wet by the end, including my shoes and socks even though I wore plastic bags. My socks wore holes in the bags! I really regret that the weather going up the mountain from Iturriotz was so terrible, the fog made everything impossible to see beyond a few metres but even from the little I could see, it was gorgeous. A must do when there is good weather, to enjoy the landscape. Important: Brings lots of water when you leave Zubieta. No fountains from that point onwards until you get to Andazarrate. You can always ask people along the way of course. In Bidania I fortuitously met the mayor of the town and she offered to let me sleep in the frontoia (the frontón), a big gymnasium with showers and toilets. On the condition that I leave in the morning because the school would come to use it. Currently I am in Santa Marina having a rest day. Incredible view. There is a family run pension here, Segore Etxeberri, with a restaurant. The food is great and quite cheap. I also needed to stop here because (foolish first time pilgrim) I ended up drinking very late, I'm afraid to say how late, with the bar owner in Bidania and he kept serving me drinks to keep me talking and now I'm a bit sick. Lesson learned, don't drink. I haven't seen any other people doing the camino so far. The good thing is that there was no rain today. Crossing fingers that it won't rain tomorrow. Onwards to Zegama.
