Day 19 rest day!

As today the way was along side the main road and not very inspiring, Fiona joined me in getting the bus to Leon as rest day and we’ve played tourist all day. Plus as Leon is large place, I’ve bought some walking sandals and will wear them with socks and walk half the way to next stage tomorrow🤞Wearing them with socks is recommended and the sandals don’t touch the nail bed of my big toe, I’ve tried them this afternoon and we’ll have to see how it goes tomorrow!
So we visited the 13th century Leon cathedral which has magnificent stain glass windows and fantastic gothic masonry and underwent massive maintenance and structural repairs in the 18th century - all very impressive!
We also did train trip round the city which was fun and enjoyed the sunny weather and eating outside. Leon is lovely vibrant and green city, quite buzzy atmosphere, and we bumped into others pilgrims we’ve met before, which is nice.
We’re in a hostel right in the centre of town, and very noisy from the outdoor cafes, ear plugs tonight!!
We’re in bunk beds again and sharing small 4 bed room with 2 New Zealand ladies, and on the top bunk - no choice but to just get on with it! Buenos noches!Read more
