Day 3 - Larasoanna - Pamplona (Cizur Menor)

Track : muddy, slippery and treacherous
Distance: 20.9kms
Weather: raining & cold at start then fining up.
Started the day with breakfast at a "super" market but there was nothing super about this breakfast!!!!
On the way it rained for most of the morning. Walking tracks included a number of climbs and the journey seemed longer.
Got to Pamplona at around midday. Walked with a new  Camino friend called Victoria - communication was Day 2 - Roncesvalles - Larasoanna but we mostly got our message across.
We wanted to bus it to Cizur Menor but couldn't find appropriate bus so Jose asked a local who walked us the town for about 30 minutes until we got to the right stop.
After approx 30 mins the bus took us to Cizur Men or and we eventually found the Roncal albergue where we booked in for the night.
We met up with Victoria again and had a pligrim lunch.
At 2:30 Jose and I took a taxi back to Pamplona to catch up with Jose's friend Amy who was from Melbourne but studying in Pamplona. She was kind enough to give us a bit of a tour of the city, which we really enjoyed.
A highlight was coffee at cafe Irunya where Hemingway used to frequent often and write his books etc.
Also visited the plaza De toros (the running of the bulls) but no bulls there today.
Had dinner was the Amy and took taxi back to Cizur Menor for the night
