Larcevau to Saint Jean Pied de Port, 18.6km/11.5 miles 05/12/24

A nice stay in Larcevau last night at hotel Espellet. Younger people taking over from parents and doing a nice job. Excellent dinner with the French group. And a nice clean comfortable room. Got a nice 8:00am start walking with Eric again whose pace suits me and who has enough blisters going on that he wants the distraction of walking with someone. Very pleasant, slightly moist and cloudy walk up a valley and after a few breaks, arriving in Saint Jean Pied de Port. This is the end of this particular Camino for me, but the starting point for people doing the Camino Frances. Checked into my hotel and when the appointed 3:30pm hour arrived was given an amazing corner room on the top floor with a balcony. So, over my four trips doing this, I have complete 750.8km to 466 miles! That’s a pretty good walk especially carrying a 20lb pack! For those interested in more detail on this particular Camino section: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Via_Podiensis

Here is a rough image of the whole GR65/Via Podiensis camino. Starting point in Le Puy en Velay ending in Saint Jean Pied de Port, where the traditional Camino Frances starts. Routing is not exact since google maps doesn’t follow the exact route.
