The running of the bulls (or buses!)

Today we ventured forth from Bordeaux at a non civilized 6.30am, with bags out at 7.15am... it appears the bell boy either couldn't tell the time or was quite anxious to collect the bags so at 7.10am he was knocking..and we weren't ready. By about 7.20am we were ready for breakfast and to take our bags down..so thats what we did. Dropped the bags off to Genaro our driver and had an eclectic breakfast of museli and croissants and a coffee for me, but dan had breads with jam and cereal and oran...

Pampaloma Spain!

Lots more driving ahead of us today-on our way to Pamplona in Spain (Basque country). Stopped off at Barritz in the South of France on the way. Very cool seaside town-very surfie. Is on the Adriatic I think. Cute shops. Ended up with a bit of heatstroke so skipped the tour of Pamplona when we arrived. Sounded good as went to Hemingway's old haunts so was a bit bummed. But felt really sick. Had dinner with the group at the hotel and then we all headed to this awesome park opposite and had a ch...

This is Basque Country

I think today was my favorite day thus far... although had some bad news for some other people.<br><br>I set off very early today, and in the dark I needed my (mom´s) head lamp to see my way. I ran into a few of the spanish women who were confused about the cmaino path, but we figured it out. Along the way a black kitten followed me about a kilometer until i got too close to the Magna factory, around which there was a group of ponies grazing (very odd).<br><br>I walked alone for ...

Eh, Toro, Eh! The Running of the Bulls

... from the crowd), the rocket sounded. Then came the bulls, basically just stepping on people who had tripped and knocking folks out of the way. I&#8217;d say the whole thing lasted 3 seconds. And it was totally worth every hour I waited and every dollar I spent to get there. Check that off the list of top 5 things to do before I die. And the day was only beginning!<br><br>At roughly 9 am, about an hour after the bulls ran, we encountered a growing mass of ...

Running of the Bulls Festival

... in 1 try. Sometimes it worked out but not that often. Sometimes the bull would be down but not fully dead. Then a different guy would walk over and stab it in the brain. When the bull was fully dead, 3 horses would come out and drag the bull out of the ring. The procession happened 6 different times. One matador even got flipped by the bull which was pretty funny. All in all it was cool to see but again, it didn´t seem like a fair fight between man ...

Forest! See ya soon!

This stage has no difficulties, the landscapes begin to change, we left the woods behind us and we begin to see beatiful fields til we reach our destination.<br><br>In Los Arcos I don't recommend the main refuge... when we were there we saw lots of bugs, an unpleasant smell, a small kitchen... the village is not very impressive but the main church (worth to see)<br>

A rainy day

We'll remember this stage for the amount of mud we accumulated in our legs. It was an awkward day, at least this stage was pretty easy but the beginning (a huge climb with a lot of mud).<br><br>We founded the main refuge in Estella newly renovated, clean, with all the facilities... a nice place where we met people from Italy, Germany and New Zealand , we decided to cook together a huge tipical spanish omelet!!! We also took a walk around beatiful Estella despite of the pain in our legs!<br>

Pamplona

... of the Chaps from the UK was fluent in Espanol, as he spent 6 months traveling in South America, and the other was an IT specialist; both there for the first time to see the running of the bulls. As the night progressed, we became friends with these blokes even though they thought we were 'bonkers' at times. We met a nice Spanish family in a secluded alley and exchanged stories, and they were gracious enough to ...

Jobs, knobs and 1 month!

... you count complaints from the old boys and they amount they drink its not too far from the truth(wink wink). Then the fourth call was from the rugby club in town, I emailed them to say hello and yada yada yada and not 5 minutes later they called me and have been very very aggressive in getting me out which I think is fantastic! So although noone speaks English it should be great for my French skills although not much for my rugby, but I´m sure I can wing it. I had a ...
