Thursday 17th- no WIFFY so delayed . After the last 2 days which have been the worst of the trip so far due to exhaustion and a lack of motivation we really needed a good day to get back on track. So luckily today was one of the best. The weather was cooler at 20c and mostly cloudy so walking was easier, we met some great people throughout the day who we hit it off with,had lovely lunch in Sahagun (pic above) an important old pilgrim town, then arrived at a on...

Reached halfway today and have 390 kms to go - it still sounds a lot even when you say it quickly. Had quite boring walk today and we both still feel very tired so we were pleased to get to the albergue in the tiny hamlet of Legidos. We have our own room and share a bathroom but it's actually quite good and we are ready for the usual pilgrim special meal.

Monday 14th left Hontanas at 0700 trying to get to another small village Boadilla del Camino 29km away.

We had a big climb back up to the plain and ate some chocolate and nuts to keep us going. Eventually we got some food at 1ish in a great bar and relaxed for an hour as it was very warm. Decided for the last leg to ...

Sunday 13th. Left at 0700 and wanted to try and get to Honitas a village 32km away which is furthest we have ever walked in a day. Cool start as we left Burgos and we headed to a breakfast stop at Tarjados When we got there the only place open was heaving and full of loud Germans so feeling grumpy we moved on. Stopped 3km further in small bar in Rabe de las Calzados where super patron gave us a great breakfast and then when we had finished made us wait while h...
