Today we tried to get an early start since we had a difficult day ahead of us. During breakfast I felt good, but as soon as I started walking I got really tired. The road went up forever, it was misty and it felt like I was never going to get to Roncesvalles. At times it was so steep I had to zig-zag my way up, and the others told me I looked like a drunk. After 5.5 hours I was finally at the top and could start the descent. That was also difficult, but not in the same way. After another hour I arrived at Roncesvalles. Some of the others had already arrived and some came later. I went on a very interesting tour of the over one thousand year old monastery and then I went to pilgrims' mass. I was asked to read the bible in English, which was a bit nervous, but it went well. After a nice supper I am now waiting for lights out, so that I can get some sleep.
Idag startade vi tidigt, eftersom vi hade en lång, besvärlig dag framför oss. Vägen var inte riktigt lika brant som var som igår, men det gick uppför i ca 15km. När det var som brantast var jag tvungen att sick-sacka för att orka, de andra så att jag raglade som om jag var onykter. Till slut nådde jag i alla fall toppen, och sedan gick det utför! Men fram kom.jag i alla fall till slut. Efter en intressant rundvandring gick jag på pilgrimsmässa, där jag blev ombedd åt läsa bibeln på engelska. Vi avslutade kvällen med en trevlig middag, och nu ska jag sova.
