St Jean
Well folks we have finally arrived in St Jean. Damian left us at Dublin airport and we met up with Austin and Pauline. The flight and the connecting taxi all went as planned. The hotel is small and clean, everything you would need. St Jean is a really beautiful mountain village, cobbled streets and quaint little shops. On a negative note you can see the mountains and they look on the tall side. We went to the church and lit a candle. We walked over the bridge you see in the film, the way. We had a nice pilgrim meal and a few drinks and now we are going to have an early night and be ready for a 7am start tomorrow. Sorry but I tried to send photos but it hasn't worked.
