WE´RE AT ZUBIRI.THE TRIP OVER IS A BIT OF A BLUR---WE GOT 4 HOURS SLEEP BETWEEN US BEFORE GETTING TO ST JEAN--CONNECTIONS WENT WELL. DESPITE OUR TIREDNESS, WE WERE KEEN TO GET GOING BUT THE PLACES TO STAY ON THE MOUNTAIN WERE BOOKED OUT----IT WAS JUST AS WELL---WE WERE BOTH DEAD BEAT . WE WERE TO MEET PETER BUT HE WASN´T THERE--LATER WE RAN INTO HIM---HE´D MISSED HIS FLIGHT FROM PARIS. HE HAD TO WAIT FOR THE POST OFFICE SO WE DIDN´T WALK WITH HIM THE NEXT DAY. JO AND I HAD OUR FIRST BIG DISAGREEMENT---I WANTED TO GO OVER THE MOUNTAIN 1500M QUITE DIFFICULT---JO WANTED TO GO AROUND 1050M--MUCH EASIER (but still hard). I had a sleepless night---woke at 12 and thought it was almost 6 so stayed awake for the next 6 hours trying to work out a way to manipulate Jo into getting what I wanted---after all this trip is all about me. About 4am I remembered a line from a camino prayer that I say every day--about Lord help me let go control of what happens---and I let go---only took me 4 hours in the middle of the night to get there. Next morning we headed off from St Jean about 7.15 intending to stay at Valcarlos---halfway around the mountain---about 12 km---we stopped halfway and had a coffee and Jo said she was feeling go good she wanted to go the whole way to Roncesvalles---I did tell her it was the hardest half by far but I couldn´t afford any more sleepless nights so didn´t say any more´.It was a very challenging long day but we got there about 4---Jo was delighted and not feeling any pain at all. And my decision to let go was vindicated as pilgrims came in from OVER the mountain experiencing severe cold and slush and NO views. Booked into the alberque --120 beds and the place-room was full. Got away this morning at 7---all the lights came on at 6---I slept much better. Zubiri is 22kms from Roncesvalles---no other options on the way ---but we were totally exhausted by the time we arrived here at 1.30pm---and everything was booked out--then we remembered a Pension on the way into town so stumbled back out there. It is 6km to the next town but no way we could have got there except in a taxi. Anyway he had a room ---we were so relieved we didn´t quibble that there was only a double bed in the room. We´re both walking around like shearers after a long day but we are optimistic that our legs will heal overnight and we will be able to walk again---hopefully to Pamplona. Sorry about the delay---this is the first working internet we´ve found.
