Sept. 1, 2010 - Lorasonna to Cizor Menor

The albergue in Lorrasona was very noisy. There were 14 bunk beds and everyone of them squeaked. Between the squeaky beds, snoring people and barking dogs outside the window, did not get much sleep.

Left Larasonna around 6:00, got to Pamplona around 11:30. After walking for about an hour, we walked through a hamlet where a lady was selling coffee and fruit from her driveway. It was a refreshing break (she was playing lively music that made you want to dance). Walked most of the way to Trinadad de Arre with Liz & Jacques and a couple from Australia.

Walked with Harri from Finland from Trinadad to Cizur Menor. We stopped at a supermarket in Pamplona on the way and brought stuff to have a picnic in the park. Cizor Menor was only 2 km away from Pamplona. I like Pamplona, it is a bustling little city but I felt like I was in another time zone.

The albergue in Cizor Menor is the best albergue I have seen yet. A lady runs it in her yard that has a huge garden. There are only 5 bunk beds in each room and she separates the men from the women (she says she does this so we are not kept awake by the men snoring) It has a kitchen so I bought some eggs and will have hard boiled eggs for supper. It would be really nice to stay here for a couple of days, however that is against the camino rules.

Liz and Jacques just got back from the supermarket and bought some rice pilaf to go with my hard boiled eggs.

Dinner was interesting, what we thought was a microwave turned out not to be a microwave. We ate cold rice pilaf. Everything here is an adventure.

Chatted for a while with a couple guys from Ireland, love the accent could listen to them all day. One of the guys name is Kieren.

It was a good day. A little easier than the previous days.  Rumor has it tomorrow is rain and thunderstorms.
9:00 - time to turn in.
