This morning we left Arantzazu at 8:30 AM. It turned turned out to be a very long and tough day. We finally arrived at Eguino just before 6 PM. The first 2 hours were spent climbing a mountain. At the top we stopped at the shelter of Urbia where we had coffees in the bar at the shelter. One of the barman was also a shearer and he told me that he is about to leave the Basque Country for Taumarunui, New Zealand, where he will work for six months as a shearer.
