Bonjour! After 30 hours total travel time – plane – train – and waiting hours – we arrived in SJPDP at 7:30 pm in the rain. Today, Friday it is a continuous down poor and wind. In the pilgrim office where we received our passport and cockle shell they told us to not go over the mountain pass until the weather breaks on Sunday…..to dangerous now. So we wait! Thankfully the “Hotel” it’s more of a B+B is very nice and has comfortable beds. At breakfast this morning we met some very nice people from Australia….they will be camping all the way and he is carrying a 20 kilo back pack …500 miles. Charlie met two very nice guys from Rio, Brazil who will be biking the whole trail. He has a lot in common with them and enjoyed their company greatly.

Frankie and Alan from Australia

Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port in the rain
