Hi Folks!
Sorry for the silence, haven´t been in the frame of mind to put anything up!
When last I wrote, I was heading for Leon… the day was uneventful, however, it´s always hard walking into a big city… the pavement and sidewalks are brutal on the feet and legs!… [Read more]
From San Nicolas del Real Camino to Calzadilla de los Hermanillos (21 km)
Today I take the road less travelled. Chris and I get up late, around 7:00. I am feeling so much better after a good night´s sleep although my stomach still feels a little fragile, but I´m ready to keep going. … [Read more]
From Villacazar de Serga to San Nicolas del Real Camino (38.2 km)
I am awoken this morning by a firm hand shaking my shoulder. What? What? I mumble. You must get up now. It will be a hot day today and you must start early before it gets too hot. … [Read more]
From Itero de la Vega to Villacazar de Serga (28 km)
It is a late start to the day as Chris and I are not in any rush to leave our lovely, private room. I leave before Chris at around 8:00 am and I reach the first town around 9:30 where I am disappointed to find no restaurant. … [Read more]

From Burgos to Hontanas (29.5 km)
I wake up late this morning after a really good, long sleep. I am amazed at how good my feet feel this morning. I only feel one pain point this morning so I decide to keep walking and not stick around to buy running shoes. … [Read more]
Well, I´ve made it as far as Villalcazar de Sirga today, about 28km from where I stayed (with Christina) last night, a town called Itero de la Vega.
The road seemed REALLY long today, and my feet tired early, but I pressed on. … [Read more]
From Villa Franca to Burgos (41.4 km)
Determination is my friend on the Camino today. As I prepare my pack at the crack of dawn this morning, I hear people complaining about the cold weather and the hard hills ahead of us for the first 5-6 kilometres. … [Read more]
Stayed the night yesterday in the village of Agés, a charming little place. I had opted for their pilgrim menu AND buffet breakfast… both were somewhat of a disappointment… such is life on the Camino… you can´t win them all. … [Read more]
