athenaanne replied to the thread How to spend a rainy morning in St Jean.Amazing thank you so much for all your replies!

I stayed at the municipal albergue in SJPP and had an extended breakfast for a couple of hours in the kitchen with a group of pilgrims before we gradually peeled off to start walking. A lovely way to start my Camino.
