    Day 23 Mansilla de las Mulas to Leon

    September 16, 2018 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    Travelled by myself. Meet Carol and Steve. They gave me Voltaren for the pain in my leg. Dad called when I was changing my boots. My first toenail has fallen. Met Emma and Sascha in cafe Aiora.
    We walked to our apartment. Lovely lady. Emma and Sascha think that they have bad bugs. They want to wash everything and rest of the stuff was put in the freezer. I went and had a long bath. Feels great to this confort. Went grocery shopping. It feels good yo have a food around. Finally managed to go to the cathedral. Somehow the city is not having a great vibe as Burgos. Emma is disappointed as well. She is very moody. We decide to go for a chocolate coffee with lots of wiping cream and churros. It feels good and bad in same time. Meet Lillian too. Walk around and find Goudi museum. Amund commented that I am more Scandinavian girl than Mediterranian. Going back to the Cathedral yo meet Bernard. We are looking for tapas but they ain't have tapas the way we learnt in Navara region. They serve small bits with drinks and that is considered tapas. Finally we get our sangria and after that we walk back to the apartment. It is time to go to bad.Read more

    We had a long sleep in than I came to the kitchen and made a coffee. I was enjoying a nice quite morning, resting my feet. Than we had a breakfast. Scrambled eggs, cured meets, cheeses, cherizo, peaches, oranges and plans. Emma toasted a bread. It felt as bring back to home. Than was time to go and meet Lillian and Jenifer at the Cathedral. The tour through the cathedral was an amazing. The stain glass supported with the light going through was making a experience a unlike one. We all were fascinated. Lillian was wondering how was possible that the city of only 5000 population could do that. On which expenses was that done. It was 2pm, time for siesta. We decided to go home. And meet later on for more site sighting.
    Had a little rest and went back to the Basilica for wonder around. Very nice atmosphere and good vibe for a prayer. After that we went to Cluster and Museum adjacent yo the Cathedral. Stayed there for a good few hours. Came out tired and stuffed eith all this art fact. Meet Jenifer and wanted yo stay for a dinner but than decided to go home and make pasta with the pesto.
    After that was my turn to soak in jacuzzi bath. Oh, thanks God for this luxury.
    Time for bad. Time in Leon was great. See you another time.    Read more

    September 18, 2018 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    After my jacuzzi bath, I thought I will be so relaxed that I will fall asleep immediately and sleep the whole night. But the opposite happens. I was awake almost a whole night. I heard the alarm goes on and the kids were up and getting ready. 5pmi came down and made a tea. We chatted a bit and hugged each other before they left. I had a plenty of time to get ready before I meet with Lillian and Jenifer. We met at the cathedral. James was there too but he needed to saith for Bridget, Fernandez and Virginis. We said Buen Camino and left. Took us a long time to get out of town. Then we looked for an alternative route to avoid walking along the highway. The scenery was a bit more interesting and when we reached the first village we stopped and had a coffee. I offered some if the food I have to reduce the weight of my backpack. After some time left. The weather was starting to be hot. Had to unclip my long pants. We finally srivef in the village where we had a lunch. Meet a nice couple from Seattle who just started their Camino. The first day from Leon. She didn't have a hat do I kindly offered my. And then we continue to walk along the strait stretch of the road, no ends. Lovely chatt with Lillian about her childhood in Germany where her father worked in American military base. She said it was hard for her to get used to American way of life once they returned. She loved how Spanish people walk arm under arm and er try to do it and made Jenifer to take a lots photos of us. But then got do hot that we stopped talking and walked forever on the scorching sun. Finally we arrived in Sants Lucia alburgue. We took a private room with three bads and bathroom. And that was a great move. The sheets, the towels. More abundance on Camino. I was so grateful. After some rest we went to do our washing and decided to walk in the village. Lillian liked the different type of doors do we took a pictures. Then it was time for dinner. We sat with Edith who is Candian Franch merried to German guy. After dinner we went to our room and did usual sending the mesages, photos .. Than we went to bed.Read more

    September 22, 2018 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    Lillian and picked up our clothes and packed our backpacks. Cane down to the kitchen area and wanted to have a coffee and eggs. It turned out that eggs weren't cooked so I tried ti cook them in microwave but didn't work. Finally I put them in rubbish bin. It was time to go. Was already 10 past 7. Lillian was looking forward to the shorter day but when I informed her that the day is only slightly shorter than day before. She wasn't happy and said she will be moaning. We walked what looked long time and got concerned that we are not on the right way so we googled and found out an alternative way to the nearest town on the Camino route. It turns out it was a wrong way but somehow we managed to get on the right route. It wasn't very interesting way. Walking on the tart road. We stopped after a few 8 kilometres to have coffee. We were missing Jenifer and the path was so uninteresting. I talked with Lillian about her relationship with her husbands family. And about the bond dome families share. We meet Brazilian guy Carlos and we greeted him Canada, Canada.
    Just before Villafranca I picked up some red figs. German friends thought that was a steal.
    We finally arrived in Villafranca. Felt pretty tired and walked to alburge Leo. What a plesent surprise. The warm hospilistero was offering a glass of the water and came to me to pick up my passport and pilugrinos passport. She knew that we were tired.    Read more
