My Favourite Hostel

I am in heaven right now. We decided to take a break/slow day and only walk 5 km today. We walked out of Pamplona this morning and have stopped in a small pueblo named Cizur Menor. It is home to my FAVOURITE hostel in the entire world. A lovely little place run by a woman named Marybel.

Last time I was here was the world cup game when Italy beat out France.

When you walk up to this place, you can´t see a thing. But once you enter through the giant, wooden doors, it´s suddenly paradise. There´s a large garden in the back with a dozen plastic chairs and colourful flowering plants everywhere.
At the top of a garden sits a little pond, filled with Koi and turtles. Becky and I sat there for a bit just watching them poke their heads in and out of the water. So serene.

I think we´ll spend most of the day stretching... inside. It´s raining again. I was hoping to get a tan in Spain. Silly me!

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend!
