Arrival and first adventures

It started on Sunday afternoon with a bus trip to Paris and then to Hendaye, on the northern border of Spain (see the super run-down Spain sign). Of course, I was still excited.

I didn't even have to unpack my phone, I immediately stumbled upon a yellow arrow (the profile picture, I'm not sure where you can see it.....) and just started walking. Since the night was pretty awful and after getting a rough idea of where I was, I treated myself to breakfast: alcohol-free beer with espresso macchiato. Deluxe (it was really hot)!!

Then it started..... :D

Here's a little video from somewhere behind San Sebastián! https://photos.app.goo.gl/ajxRUTEhNAdAu2Tv7

Unfortunately, it started raining on the third day or so... But with the right poncho

When I arrived in Gernika, something funny happened: https://photos.app.goo.gl/4f7HZtRUCj2repfG8

The atmosphere was really strange, everywhere were just old grandpas and grandmas, and then this music :D I think it's something organized by the city.

Today (Sunday), I'm already behind Bilbao, the first big stage so to speak - it went much faster than I thought!

Every day is different, I feel different in every hostel, shelter or monastery - unfortunately, there hasn't been a real pilgrim atmosphere yet... Well, let's see what the Camino has in store for me.
