Day 2 in San Sebastian-Donostia
Tina McInerney
That is the name used here as it is Basque Country and Donastia is its Basque version. A lot of signage is in in Spanish and Basque. Not that we knew the difference as we spoke neither!
The next day we went for a beautiful walk over the mountain to the next town. It was a beautiful walk, bit steep at first up 200 steps but then it was very picturesque. Of course, I don’t know how we managed it but we were lost for a part of it. A very friendly man put us back on track. I think we are so careful about watching where we put out feet so that we don’t fall over that we we don’t watch where we are going! Anyway it was great. I think it is a Sunday activity as when we were back on track we met heaps of people going the other way.
When we got there w caught a little ferry across the inlet and had lunch there.

The walk although not all like this - few boulders etc but very manageable.

I was pretty excited to find these next. I am thinking that if I add all the bits of the Camino that I have walked I might qualify for a shell.
The town on the other side. They were having some sort of festival with lots of music over loudspeakers and kids holding big flags.
We caught the bus back to San Sebastian-Donostia after we had lunch on the pier.
That night we went back to a bar we visited last night just to be safe. And that was San Sebastian-Donostia.
