DAY 9. June 6th. OCHAGAVIA TO ISABA











Tea break in a refuge on the way.


Rain, rain, rain until about 2pm.  Boring pista lined with pine trees all morning. When we get a view we get carried away and miss the turning to Isaba, adding about 2 hours onto the day and leading astray 2 men from Galicia who are also doing the same section…..sorry! Heavy, muddy descent to Isaba, bad right knee. Isaba nice, pretty and alive. Pension Txiki friendly and has bar and food. Tiny room for 3 with broken shower door and holder for shower-head but beds are good and the water hot. They also listen to Radio 3 in the bar. Had posh dinner in Hostal Lola next door (€80) which was good, especially the puddings and wine and lack of smoking. Noisy and full of men.
