Miles walked: 9.6 miles<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Floors climbed: 67<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had a small breakfast provided by our B&B (Casa Tau). A mile or so past Larrasoa\u00f1a we passed Hotel Akeretta which was where we stayed on our Camino in 2013 and found out, after we had checked in, that it was the hotel where Martin Sheen stayed in the movie “The Way”. If you’ve seen the movie it was where Martin Sheen met the blond woman from Canada and where he caught the hotel owner pretending to be a bull fighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned in my previous post, I got behind in my daily logs.\u00a0 Shoot, it’s hard to remember all I’d like to remember about the day.\u00a0 I do remember we were concerned about all we had to do when we got to Pamplona: 1) Go to an optical shop so I could replace a broken ear piece on my reading\/computer glasses. 2) Reorganize all our stuff and mail a small suitcase to our endpoint (Sahag\u00fan which is half way to Santiago). It held things we only needed on the plane.\u00a0 3) Do laundry. 4) Buy Kleenex and cough drops (my sore throat had turned into a cold).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the edge of Pamplona we decided to catch a taxi to shorten the day’s walk a bit and get to our errands. We had stopped in a bar for coffee and an amazingly helpful woman in the bar called a taxi for us and then walked us to the place to meet the taxi since we were in a pedestrian area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We got to our hotel (Hotel Yoldi) and checked in and headed up to our room.  On the elevator, uh oh, Charlie realized he didn’t have his phone.  We remembered he’d had it out on the taxi so figured he probably left it there.  But, we couldn’t call the taxi driver since we hadn’t called him ourselves.  We rushed back to the front desk and asked them to call the bar where they’d called the taxi.  We were panicking and not thinking clearly. The hotel desk person suggested the obvious thing: Why don’t you call your phone? We did and the taxista answered!  He was rather far away by then but he brought it to us when he was nearer to our part of town  It cost us an additional 7 euro taxi fare!  Worth it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had a nice lunch in the hotel restaurant while waiting for the phone to show up.  Then headed out for our errands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
