Good sleep in Hotel San Nikolas, breakfast in smokey bar just outside walls. Sunny day. Get taxi to Faro. Convinced that we should start at the sea so we walk in the wrong direction for an hour. Officially start at 11am. Lunch in the unattractive centre of Irún. Tapas and 2 bottles of cider (perhaps not the best way to start). Leave civilization behind, start to climb hills and weather starts to deteriorate. Packs very heavy and backs sore. Lost at various points due to lack of marks and being a bit hopeless with the GPS. Arrive in Bera at 10pm with nowhere to stay. Follow sign for casa rural which takes us up a very unwelcome hill. Woman takes us in but offers no food so to bed with one or two biscuits and warm beer. Sandy with feet problems already. At some point she loses her sleeping mat.
