Yesterday, he arrived in Villenave / Bidouze, Albert was already there!

At 7am, David is already on the road, he is anxious to arrive today Ostabat
The landscape is more hilly.
This morning he has the swollen leg from the ankle to the knee, it hurts and walk softly.
It tells me he feels the end! the way!
He knows he must win Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, the end of his journey to this time.
9:20, am David's footsteps his companion Albert pilgrim, they just passed through the village of Garris
12, Soyarza arrival at the chapel and the Stele of Gibraltar, in the commune of Saint-Palais.
24:22, David is amazed as it progresses, it works hard, he no longer feels pain, he feels only the pleasure and admiration for its environment.
13:45 arrival of our pilgrim Ostabat. The cottage is in a good height to distance from the village.
second step in the Pyrenees-Atlantique
Currently in the Béarn - Pays Basque, David is in the thick of things now there is admiration for the landscape so wonderful and magnificent this horizon as well as variations of the geological Pyrenean foothills.
communication yesterday from a telephone booth in the hamlet of Villenave-sur-Bidouze shows that David must fend for themselves and that's great! It's an adventure! It is the transcendence and the victory of the day. David is a maximum and it is happy.
Well, the chapter on pain ...
He faces his tendinitis and light bulbs. David drool and treats!
Last night, David was allowed at a bed and a typical Basque village, it was caught in a "ambush" who gave a headache! A shot of Martini! It was not good, but he could not turn to coca!! Too loud the Basques!
At shelter, he met with brave girls who restore their venue.
David abused painkiller yesterday he took enough to start to no longer feel the right side. It should slow down now and not poison.
That night, he had a hard time supporting the sheet over his leg.
Good luck for this step, hard and beautiful!
I hope you will support Pain and progress on your "camino".
