1st day on Camino de Santiago

Today, I would like to share with you my first day's experiance on Camino de Santiago. As I wrote it started in Irun. We had 25 km of walk to San Sebastian. We woke up around 6 o'clock. Los hispotalieros (refuge's hosts) put some religious music which was a little bit scarry and to be honest not a perfect music to wake up enthusiastically. Then we had breakfast, some cookies, muffins and coffee so it was really spanish. At 6.30 our first day on the camino started. When you are pelgrim on Camino de Santiago you need to follow yellow seashell which are painted on trees, sidewalks etc. They're really easy to find  especially in Basque Country. It was really hot day so we were really sweating but the good thing is that every 3-4 km you have a spring, really fresh and cold. 
After 4-5 hours we got to beautiful, picturesque villiage named St Pedro. From there we had to take a boat to other side of coast. Ofc we stopped there for more than hour to take rest and eat lunch. Then we had 10 km to San Sebastian. It was really hard becouse we had to climb and then walk down all the time. When we got to San Sebastian we didn't do nothing except into the Ocean:)
