Orthez – Sauveterre de Béarn
22 kms.
6 hours and 12 minutes (+ 41 minures for breaks).
19 – 28°C, partly cloudy in the morning, very sunny in the afternoon.
Favorites: wild black berries along the way, a very sweet apple from the orchards planted by the local association for the pilgrims.
Downs: that knee still bothering me.
Slept at Hotel de la Lune, 14 rue de l’horloge in Orthez (8€/night).
Met Alexandra & Antoine (FR).
Tomorrow is another day. 🙂
Les Petits Pas de Juls 
wow… …you do the Camino! What an experience. All the best for you! Enjoy all the experience, encounters, joy, pain and your thoughts. All the best for you!
Thank you! It’ll be something incredible! 2nd day going on, I’m at lunch break, halfway through 😊
that is inspiring… …I’ll put the camino back to my wish list. Respect, Jul. Enjoy! 🙂
Why did you ever take it off the list in the first place, ahahaha?!? Good to know it’s back on. Beauty is along the road, you’d love it!
…oh know I can see, it was still on my wish list, but I folded it somehow and it was hidden between two folds.. …now I got it to times on my list… …which doesn’t mean that I will walk the Camino back again! 😀
Ahahaha you can walk 2 different routes 😉
😀 I wanna see all the faces watching me walking the opposite way 😀 « ..hi, I’m Jacob.. ..wanna close the entry gate… …it’s to crowed, you know?! »

There are many routes in France before you reach THE one in Spain, you can choose your own way of doing it. AND there’s a northern less – travelled road along the coast 😉
ten years ago I’ve seen the movie ‘Saint-Jacques… La Mecque’ which made me really curious about the camino. Great Movie. What I didn’t know at that point was, that there were even Caminos in Germany.. …and of course all over Europe.
Congratulations on taking on El Camino. Looking forward to your experiences.
Thank you! They should be sparce at first but I’ll write more afterwards 😉
Take care of that knee – it can literally make or break your journey!
It likes the exercise better than the sedentary life; but I’ll be easy on it so it may bring me all along the journey. Cheers!
