April 28th- Larrasoana to Pamplona

I decided to have a shorter day today and stop in Pamplona, There were a few reasons, Firstly i hear its a great city with a good vibe and it is indeed, Very clean and quiet in the afternoons with people venturing out late, The walk was a nice 10 miler leaving me just 3 miles short of where i was heading, I can catch up in the next few days,I detoured to view a 13th Century church run by nuns and was allowed to climb up the tower and ring one of the bells which was pretty cool, I had sore feet when i arrived at Casaibarrola,  The last few of miles entering the city was all pavement and really punishes your feet, which is a great Aubergue after last nights hole,Very modern with Japanese style cube beds, A locker built in as well as a light over your head, 2 power adapters(only had 3 in the building last night) and good internet wi-fi or wee-fee as they call it here sheer luxury and only 18 euros, Its well placed in the old town so easy to go walk about which i did, I am still with Francis but tomorrow i will head out alone as he is staying for an extra day there, I bought 3 pairs of rubber feet for my walking poles and have already lost half of them, Every time i look and one is missing i think well there goes $4, They are not a tight fit even though they are the brand etc, They are far too easy to loose in the mud, My back pack has shed some weight as i forwarded some gear to Santiago, Its only about 2.5 pounds but i should be able to feel the difference,
Not sure why the images have loaded out of order but still

Each green post it has a message from a pilgrim
