I LOVE Auguste!!!!2nd night pension in San Sebastian. 3rd night at Gran Camping Zarautz. Last night albergue in Deba. Tonight Pension Augusto in Markina. Any tips on Gernika? Looks quite pricey.
I loved
I LOVE Auguste!!!!
That was my hardest day pulling into Markina....I rang his bell and when I pushed open the door I will never forgot him looking down at me from the large staircase. I must have looked half dead....he simple smile with a smile, " beer?". I was alone that night, starved that night but really got to exhale there.
We stayed at Hotel Gernika if not mistaken, two of us split a room at a pilgrims rate. i forgot the price but it was not bad. It was connected to a restaurant that was good. This is where I met Gerr from our board...great night!
WOW...such sad news, though no one could be surprised by this news. He was a gentle giant of sorts.Thanks! My walking my partner (trash, from these boards as well), might camp out if we can't find something reasonable.
I enjoyed this section quite a lot. Coming into Zarautz I was done for! But today was good.
When did you stay here? I really don't want to be the one to tell you this, but Augusto passed away in July. Heart attack. It is now Augusto and daughter. Daughter is keeping his presence and hospitality. No beer, but we were walking and passed the bar behind the hostel just as she was coming out and she pulled us in and bought us drinks! Plus, someone put newspapers in our shoes to help dry them out. And, daughter saw me fixing blisters and said to use her waxy stuff tomorrow to help my feet. So kind. Only 4 here, so also nice and spread out.
I stayed...and never regretted it!Made it to Bilbao. Such a long walk from Gernika. Trying to plan what to do next - rest day or late start. Many are in the same boat. Will post sometime when I have wifi (on computer at Granbara Hostel - lovely place), but stages 1-5 are up!
Castro U was one of my favorite spots
GREAT Italian restaurant on that second beach near the albergue area.
Your bites...can you tell what they are from...mesquito (?)...just wondering as i will be reNorten it this time next year and wondering if I need to worry about mesquitos? I did not in April.
loving your blog, loving your pictures...feel like I am back!Not quite on the Camino, yet. A few hours til my train to Irun. Already travel adventures! I did start a blog and will update when I can. If you would like to check out what I have so far, the address is: andreaonthecamino.wordpress.com
