We took a taxi from Pamplona to Roncesvalles, about 30 miles. The taxi took the same road that we will be cycling on tomorrow. Yikes! It's narrow with switchbacks and steep ups and downs.
Upon arriving at Roncesvalles, our bikes were already at the hotel. We set them up and fitted them.
Then we sat out on the patio and met pilgrims who had hiked from Saint Jean Pied de port where most of the walkers start.
We stayed at the Hotel La Posada Roncesvalles and got our first pilgrim's stamp.
Dinner was pasta with chorizo and a fish with frites followed by flan.
After dinner over 200 pilgrims packed the monastery church for the blessing of the pilgrims Mass.
Then we packed up our panniers and went to bed.
