26km down in 5 hours and another good days walk!
The weather however today was terribly cold and threatened rain all the way which made us pick up pace!
We took off at 6:30am this morning and were thankful to be out of the Albergue - unfortunately the people were rude and didn't want to give the pilgrims the time of day! The only place to eat was owned by the same people who likewise couldn't give time of day!
Oh well we started walking and we met a lovely girl from Croatia/Bosnia named Borna! Amazingly she had started two days after me and had picked up on 4 days of walking absolutely incredible when I remembered the 50km days I had done and too think she had done double that!
Unfortunately Phil and Borna hadn't had breakfast and we were eager for a stop but all the towns we passed like most little towns in Spain were dead and no where for a feed!
My knee started to hurt and then I remembered I had forgotten to take my Ibrufen first thing! I took it and the knee came good!
We found a cafe 10km outside of Burgos and us along with 50 other walkers were desperate for a warm drink and a feed!
Today's breakfast for me had consisted of 10+ chocolate biscuits - terrible I know but when your walking you can justify it! The weather was still crap so we walked fast to our destination having to walk 10km through the city to get to our destination!
We arrived to the wrong Albergue but decided to stay and give it a go as it was only 16 beds unlike most places we have stayed with 200 odd!
Turns out very nice but with very little facilities! Ohwell it's quiet it opened at 12 unlike the others that open much later and we are showered relaxed and ready to look around by 1am!
Tonight the three of us decided to make dinner together - unfortunately there is no kitchen so on tonight's menu it will be cold Tortilla Patates accompanied by a mean Spanish salad of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, stuffed olives, feta and a giant tin of tuna in olive oil!
It's amazing how much you look forward to food or a meal when your out walking and of course we all know that going to the supermarket when your starving hungry is a bad idea but we all do it :)
