[QUOTE="shefollowsshells, post: 193718, member: 30121"] This might have been shared but I likened it to child birth:) Sure many folks have done it....but doesn't mean it was easy....also within seconds you will forget all of the stress and emotionally be on the highest of highs. AND almost instantly you are planning to do it again. I was shocked how difficult it was for me, I felt like I would take a few steps and then pretend I was turning around taking in the view as I gasped for air. Not implying that one must pretend to enjoy that view that is amazing, but more so admitting I was a huge faker trying to disquise my gasps for air as gasps of taking in the beauty.... In another life, just two decades ago i could run twenty miles in an afternoon....the Pyreneese was hard for me. I was suprised how hard...was it lack of sleep? I don't know...but just being honest when I got to Orisson And had a reservation I felt like I had a golden ticket for Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. I did have a late start out of STJPP , no regrets I loved walking around in the AM there BUT had I had an early start I doubt I would have needed to stay...like I said it's like child birth and seconds later you are all fine again. With that said drinking on the deck of Orisson can be had by anyone ( if you are a customer there I have been told), but waking up there that crisp morning surrounded by cows with bells and little ponies is one of the hi lights of my Camino.
