I ran down the spiral stairs, and waited for the towel - and waited. Eventually I went up again, because politely simply because could I inquired them again for a towel. She told me that they'd thrown a towel down - not down the spiral stairs to the hallway, but through your window to the surface. I again asked them to just pass us a towel, and they said they would throw someone else out. Again there had not been towel all of the hallway.

I had taken a journal to record my musings on life as well as the events I'd encounter. I wasn't the only one; journal-writing seemed appearing a prerequisite - scribblers confidential.

Next morning the noisy packing of rucksacks dragged me from my deep sleep. It was still dark yet a few of my fellow pilgrims had decided on the (very!) early start. I went outside with my steaming hot coffee and watched sunlight rise between the towering peaks of the Pyrenees, a spectacular sight and well its early noise. Okay, so there were some good things about getting up early.
