Well...it was a long squished flight from Chicago to Amsterdam. Got about 2 hours combined of sleep. Arrived in Amsterdam at 6:30am (11:30pm chicago time), and went into town. Walked around for about 2 hours, but I was FREEZING! I left my jacket in my back pack which was checked through! UGH! So, I stopped at a market for some bread, sheep cheese and an apple, and headed back to the airport, where I have also been freezing! But I've been able to get a little more sleep on some comfy chairs. Next is my connecting flight to Paris followed by an over-night train to Bayonne, and then a small local train to St-Jean-Pied-de-Port in the morning. I should have the entire day there to get settled, see the town, get my pilgrim's passport and some food, before settling in for an early night! I'm gonna need the rest before I start my walk on Friday. The walk from St-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Roncesvalles is said to be one of the hardest day of th 500 miles to Santiago. I remember it well. At least I'm a little more prepared this time!
Until next time,
Buen Camino!
