Hornillos to Castrojeriz

Lulled to sleep by a nightingale and woken by a cuckoo - possibly only on the Camino and on the Meseta?
Slightly wild dreams but was awake just before 6 and left around 6.40.
Unbelievably beautiful landscapes again and again I’m wishing I could paint. It’s hard to describe how stunning our environs are here. You need to see it for yourself.
We have been lucky with the weather - not too hot and very little rain today.
Stopped for coffee at an albergue just before Honteras and then again in the town itself where we met up with Sheryl and Janice.
Easy walking today with the final stretch into Castrojeriz passing a ruined monastery now run as a very simple albergue by the Canadian Confraternity. I have to stay there next time if I’m lucky enough to be able to do this again. It has no electricity so dinner is by candlelight. No hoy water either - but I can do cold showers!! I’m aiming for it!
Arrived at our Albergue, Iacobus, which was at the very far end of the town. Hopefully this means a bit less distance tomorrow which at the moment looks like quite a long day.
Managed to get washing dry despite heavy thundery showers.
Dinner at the albergue - not very veggie friendly so had to eat fish as a main course but did get a cup of camomile tea at the end which was a bonus.
Now trying to get an early night as very tired!Baca lagi
