Today we flew to Biarritz via Paris and then transferred to a shuttle that took us to St. Jean Pied de Port, the starting point of our 500-mile Camino trek. Our travels took us all day - up quite early in order to leave our hotel in Reykjavik by 5:00 am and didn't arrive in St. Jean until 7:00 pm (truth be told, we gained 2 hours between Iceland and France, but it was still a long day of travel).
After settling into our rooms, we headed out to explore St. Jean, find the pilgrim office to have our pilgrim passport stamped, and find some dinner. St. Jean is a typical small quaint French town and I would have loved to explore more of it, but we have an early morning tomorrow and need a good night's sleep for our trek over the mountains.
