It has been said - you know who you are!! - that we have been having a bit too much luxury on this trip bearing in mind it is supposed to be a pilgrimage with a bit of penance thrown into the mix somewhere. So before this blog goes any further I therefore feel the need to reveal the experience of our accommodation in St Jean Pied de Port.
Andrew and I shared the responsibility of booking the rooms and he came up with this little gem.
Basic room, no bedding, no ensuite and to be honest no sleep either. The authentic, rustic experience for all penitential pilgrims looking for salvation and with this, Andrew followed the brief and truly embraced everything that is the Camino.
A week later and I think I must be following a different star, certainly one that doesn't do stables, because all I could find for last night was the Parador in Monforte de Lemos. Well at least it's a former monastery.
