Huerte to Cizor Minor

We thought we were just outside Pamplona, every time we asked how far the standard answer would be 2.5 kilometres. we left the albergue at 8 and i got into the old city at about 11am had a coffee near the cathedral texted ray with my location and went to have a look at the cathedral, before i knew it i was attending a very moving mass alongside a pilgrim from Slovakia, which lasted almost 2 hours, the cathedral stamped my pilgrim passport I was now with Ray and Martha and yes we´re on the hunt for somewhere to eat, almost every place was shut but we found a small galician restuarant run by people from rays part of spain we polished off the the meal with coffee and Aguadiente de heirbas (fire water of herds) The walk across Pamplona city was long and hot 36 degrees with out any shade. from the old town it is about 8 k to the edge of Pamplona city and then onto cizor minor. On my arrival i was offered a foot massage and shown to my bed . i then sat under a fig tree drinking a cold fanta looking across at the enclosed gardens and nursing my itching little legs. LIFE IS GOOD
sorry i haven´t posted any photo´s yet between showering washing clothes finding somewhere to eat there´s not a lot of time left to do much more ADIOS
