Larceveau to Saint Jean Pied de Port - 18 kilometers

The journey of a thousand miles that began with a single step, ends.

In 2013, it began at the hotel Itzalpea in Saint Jean Pied de Port. Today we arrived back in Saint Jean Pied de Port. Tomorrow night we stay at the Itzalpea before taking the bus to Pamplona.

Perfect weather today - sunny and in the 70s, chilly start so we wore our warm jackets.  We set out at 8:00 and arrived at 2:30.

We stopped in Saint-Jean-le-Vieux, 4 kilometers from St Jean Pied de Port for a sandwich, ham and cheese in a baguette, and tea and coffee.  Breakfast was a little on the light side - toast, yogurt, tea and coffee.

We did it - coming into Saint Jean Pied de Port

Dropped our backpacks at our hotel and it was time for a tea

Or a beer - basque beer - cheers!

Our hotel 

Before dinner we met with some of the people we have spent time with on the walk. They are off tomorrow, on their way to Santiago - 500 more miles. 

Dinner

Omelette piperade
 
Chicken Basquise with rice

Basque cake - best of the 3 we've had

Tomorrow we change hotels, do laundry, check out the bus to Pamplona, and rest.
