We stayed no less than twenty days at Pampeluna; when (seeing the winter coming on, and no likelihood of its being better, for it was the severest winter all over Europe that had been known in the memory of man) I proposed that we should go away to Fontarabia, and there take shipping for Bordeaux, which was a very little voyage.
Helyenként nagyon magasan állt a hó és nem is fagyott meg, ahogy az északibb országokban szokott, így ha útra kelünk, a hó bármely lépésnél élve eltemethet bennünket. Húsz napig maradtunk Pampelonában.
