| Day #3 The "never-ending" roller coaster awaited us. |
 |
| Exiting Zubiri, a group of pilgrims crosses the stream of rain water from the previous night |
 |
| The first setback of the day would meet us quite early in the day: rain! |
 |
| Crossing a small village (pueblo) on our way to Akerreta. No problems on paved road, but soon our boots would be covered in mud. |

| In Akerreta, while looking for a dry spot to rest, we met this couple, two gentle souls that welcomed us with a warm coffee an even warmer embrace. |
 |
| The rain subsided... So, off we went in high spirits! |
 |
| The river Arga would keep us company for quite o stretch of the way. |
 |
| Memorial to Rosana, an Italian pilgrim that took her last steps on the Camino in 2006... |
 |
| Sometimes the Camino is beautiful... |
 |
| ...others, it's ugly. |
 |
| But it's always magical! |
 |
| Another tough climb to put you through the test. |
 |
| River Ultzama and the ancient Roman bridge of Trinidad de Arre, our stop for the night. The plan was to go as far as Pamplona, but God had other plans in store for us! |
 |
| The altar of the Basílica de la Trinidad de Arre: this church conveys a truly peaceful and serene feeling, an invitation to meditation, prayer and contemplation. |
 |
| The albergue in Trinidad de Arre is run by the Hermanos Maristas, a religious congregation. This is the yard just outside the albergue, the best place to ease the pain and quiet down the mind. |
