I noticed in the opening scenes that the pens are tied to the desk. What are modern day pilgrims coming to? :roll:

Very well done and enjoyable to watch. I didn't go back and check but it sure seemed to be a lot of albergue stops between Roncevalles and Pamplona. Got lost a little as to where they were until I saw Pamplona and expected it to be much further along.

I think that it is a mark of how well done this is in that you don't need to speak Finnish to know just what is going on and what they are doing.

Thanks for posting.

It's a re-run from last year, so it may partially explain the hordes of Finns this year as well... At least we met many more on the last third than on the previous parts earlier. A couple of hospitaleros mentioned the same thing.
