Day 4 A Pamploma no Bulls day

Zubiri was an interesting stay at the private refugio.
There was a middle age Dutchman who had already walked 800km and was now walking 40km per day. He actually walked in one day which we had taken three. " The last 10 km today were hard" he said as we slumped on our bunks.

There was another French lady we met the day before and she had walked 100okm solo already and she looked as though she could run the whole way.

The walk today was very good and without th mini mountains of yesterday. Through peaceful rural settings with sheep grazing in the fields. We had breakfast at the first main toen and met Anne Marie and John from Canberra. They were catching a busa to Pamploma as Anne Marie had blisters... sensible option.

Not much more of interest to say except we reached Pamoloma and the long walk through the burbs. We stayed at a really great albergue by the river which was run by a German couple..friendly, helpful, clean... The Canadians and other Aussies were there.
The plazas in Pamploma were fascinating and there was a big street procession. Not sure what it was about but I think the Spaniards like to celebrate and there were huge figurines of kings and queens and music.

Decided that we would head on from Pamploma... oh yes we didn,t see any bulls but saw the bull ring!!!
