So 10 days riding and we've almost reached the start. 296km, 3300m of climb and we're 4km short of St Jean Pied de Port where we head West for Santiago at last. The boys have been amazing in the heat and the hills, powered by the occassional bottle of coke which provides half an hours entertainment as the drink is shuttled back and forth between bottle and glass. Small pleasures. Speaking of which, tomorrow will be a day of rest, our only task to find some scallop shells, apparently an essential pilgrim accessory.
