Flight IAD-Madrid / Madrid / Pamplona

The flight was uneventful, left on time and arrived on time. Immigration was fast and easy, but it took a long time for my bag to be delivered, it was one of the last ones, even though it had the "priority" tag.

We took a taxi to the Atocha train station to catch our train 1135 train to Pamplona. Linda and Kathi were in the same train. When we arrived in Pamplona I helped Linda and Cathy to get directions to the hotel they were staying, they wanted to walk to the hotel. Terry, Nancy and I took a taxi to our hotel. It was centrally located, on a pedestrian only street, the hotel is neat and spartan, but the room is tiny.

After we settled in, we went out for lunch, followed by a long walk around town, to see the main sites.

Later we had dinner at one of the restaurants at the main plaza.

Pamplona: Terry and Erico with the bulls.

Pamplona: Nancy in a narrow pedestrian only street. See the guy with a pack and leather pants? We saw him again in the Camino.
