san sebastian

Today we walked to Pamplona and then headed towards the warm spanish coastline of San Sebastian. Although it has been the expected growth spirt and much more, it was time to get out of the sun. 8 hours a day, even with sunscreen spread all over the body multiple times during the day, can cause a lot of damage to the body. The thermometer on a building read 33 degrees at 9:30pm - hot. Both Leens and I had made a pact to spend two days just hanging out at the beach to wash up - so coming to San Sebastian today was perfect. Public transport in Spain seems to be pretty good. So we took a bus to Bilbao and randomly chose (literally within 3 minutes) where we wanted to take the next bus to. San Sebastian is a beautiful & scenic surfer city with 181'700 people, money goes really fast and people are really interested in their bodies. Coming straight from our Camino week, this was a bit of a shock. No, we don´t want to turn the page so very fast. Still, we wanted to come back having felt rested. Maybe we can rent a parasol tomorrow. And we will most definitely kick back, jump in the sea and reflect upon the time we return to the Camino. It´s in our blood now!
