When we checked in at the pilgrims office our helper guided us to an albergue, gave us lots of local information and a warning about the path change going into Roncesvalles. Seems the steep straight down hill run thru the last few km has been rerouted, a bit longer but less steep. Too many pilgrims are getting injured falling during the steep and apparently very slippery descent.
Our hospitalera told us to be ready for breakfast at 6:30 sharp so we could make the long walk to Roncesvalles tomorrow, but we're starting off easy with a short stroll straight uphill to Orisson. We are grateful that our hostess moved breakfast to 8:00 so we don't get to Orisson too early in the morning!
