Total 22 km (12 miles). Total elevation descended today, 1200 feet- 400 meters. We walked from Roncesvailles to Zubiri. Today was another hard day for us, although not as hard as the first 2 days. Today was hilly and then the descent was very, very steep. The path was mostly through the woods and was so beautiful. A lot of the path was very mucky and extremely rocky, and I am so glad we had our walkings sticks. They provided us with much stability throughout the day. The descent, for me, I would classify as treacherous, and it was so steep and muddy. There were several small villages with such pretty houses. We picked up food at the market, and had a nice breakfast and lunch on the trail. We also stopped for cafe con leche twice. We have had such a great time.
We are sore today, and I have a small blister on my left big toe, but I slapped some duct tape on it mid day and its now gone. Another of the toes on my left toe has a smashed toenail from all of the downhill today, but it doesn't hurt greatly. Ibuprofen is a good drug.
