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.
It looks so beautiful! Hope you're having a great time!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're doing great mom! Claire has been crawling up the steps in preparation for her own hike someday, she wishes you well. Sounds like the mountains were challenging, glad you were able to get through them without any major issues. Keep the pictures coming!
