Spoke my first Spanish and ended up paying 1800ptas for a room with 2 beds, shower, towels , and flies. To Larrau Early start but no sunrise till after 8. First hill was quiet -outrunning a raincloud down to St Etienne. First serious descent. Stopped in a cafe for breakfast during rain.
Baguettes are a hard to fix to panniers.
We went up to Iraty. A lot harder than I thought but not too bad in bottom gear. Stayed in campsite. Ate in hotel. Will ordered Fruite Menuiere -it turned out to be truite.
