September 30
Trying to make up miles leads to long days. Then we're too tired to do much except the basics; and we're back to limited wifi. So here are the bare bones about our return to the Camino. I'll post details as I can.
Yesterday, we rode the bus to the station in Estella, where the journey was interrupted. After a quick breakfast, we started walking about 9:00--a late start for the Camino. Still, we managed to finish that map and go about 8 km into the next one. By the time we arrived in Torres del Rio at 3:45, we'd walked 29.1 km, a little over 18 miles.
Today, our goal was Navarette, and we made it. We arrived about 5 p.m., having covered 33.3 km. My pedometer reads 21.4 miles, but we lost about half an hour this morning before it started tracking, and we added to it while wandering around Viana for a while and when we got lost looking for the albergue. So it's anyone's guess. You may wonder at the hour we stop for the day. It's based on how much we've already done and how far it is to the next town with accommodations. At any rate, we're moving forward.

Ha ha, I hope you weren't getting too comfortable in Pamplona. I bet it feels good to be back on track!
