... cold and we had not planned on such since Spain has been 80 to 90 the entire time thus far. So we curled up under a sheet and froze all night attempting to get some sleep. In the middle of the night Mitch felt a tug on the day pack, which was attached to him via a bike lock. He awoke to someone with their hand in our bag and quickly went to grab the arm. The man ran away before we got a chance to say anything. This was our first ever theft, but only of my cheap and kind of broken ...

... people. It has become probably the most internationally renowned fiesta in Spain. Over 1.000.000 people come to watch this festival."<br><br>The festival gets underway at midday on 6 July with a huge crowd gathering in the plaza by the town hall in the old town. Hayley and I had by this stage managed to figure out a few general rules about the opening ceremony. 1: wear the festival colours of white and red - preferably white pants ...

... the capital of Navarra province. The old part of the City is surrounded by massive stone walls that you enter by crossing an drawbridge from the 16th century. The City is dominated by a massive Cathedral which is under a major renovation.<br><br>Our hotel is on a busy street with a number of small hotels and bars. Our room has a balcony overlooking all of the bustle. When we arrived a 3:30 pm all of the bars and restaurants ...

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>

Now i'm writting this resume after i've finished my pilgrimage, so I should warm all the people... this stage could be one of the hardest stages of the Camino, Pamplona is an incredible city with a lot of thigs to see and to do, but I had been before, that's why we did't spleep in ...

... that the signs here were written in both Castilian (Spanish to people who aren't trying to sound like *****) and Basque- it was like being in Wales, except the train I'd arrived on was quite, as opposed to the Welsh railways whose policy seems to be to make their trains as **** stained as possible. One signpost had had the Castilian crossed out and a large sticker saying Euskara (Basque for, well, Basque) twatted across it. If anyone reading this has been ...

... then your first cousin... Wait, that's not right, is it? *Mean Girls quote). I would attach a diagram but that is beyond my computer skills. The older generation consists of Juan Marie, Socorro, and Nieves. Juan Marie and Socorro have three kids: Jon, Ibon, and Ainhoa. Everyone but Ainhoa was there for dinner and we sat and talked until 1am! The conversations were good and the food even better. It was a welcome change since Saturday ...

... the course and give us but a few minutes to place ourselves. This is where you push for dear life. No one wants to be in front of the notorious dead mans turn. Because when the bulls come they slide into the fence. I think I will pass on this human/steak sandwich. 8:05am; A rocket is lauched, and mass hysteria ensues. Everybody is running . You can't see them yet but you know they're coming. Twelve bulls that can finish this course in 3 minutes flat. RUN! So many people ...

... arranged one for us. It was a bit hard to watch, as I was so hung over from the night before. This year, I was amazed because there were girls in the run. Previously, they were not allowed but the streets were so packed, they were walking. They did not let the hard core and the bulls go until the punters were out of the way. Once started, a couple of bulls got separated and it became dangerous. A bull in a pack will run together. A lone bull will attack ...
