Bergen en passen
... echte reden dat we niet verder dan St. Jean de Port zijn gefietst is dat direct na dat middeleeuwse stadje een pas ligt over de pyreëen, "Puerto de Ibañeta" op 1057 meter. Stijgingspercentage tot 9%, totale weglengte 27 km. Dat leek ons wat veel op één dag.

It was really surprising how many people sent a note and were really interested in this experience. And what I learned on ‘my’ Camino was very individual: I do not want to take anything ...
La Primera Semana
... During the week not much is going on but that night a bar called Sub Suelo had a jazz band playing and I was very excited to see what that was all about. It was very interesting to see a Spanish band playing American jazz and playing it extremely well.

This trip was to las cuevas ...
