Burgos - staying still!

So not a lot to report today. After a good nights sleep went off to find coffee/ breakfast. First coffee in a modern cafe near the river and second one plus fab bowl of coconut yoghurt, granola and fruit, in our favourite Curcuma Green Food.
Explored the cathedral but enjoyed it even more than last year. It doesn’t feel a particularly holy place, unlike some of the other churches along the way, but it’s an awesome museum of Romanesque, gothic and renaissance art.
Found plenty of ‘horses of the day’ for Liv both inside and out.
Wandered up to the (closed) castle and then back through the town with a veggie empañada on the way back. M then did a lot of planning for upcoming stays as there are certain places where I really hope to stay - either for the second time as they were great last year, or because I saw them last year and really wanted to stay this year.
The camino is made up of many things but the places you stay and the people you meet are at least as important as any other aspect. This year Burgos has not felt as much like my home town as it did last year when I seemed to bump into someone I knew on every corner. Not sure if this is because the camino has been tiered generally this year or because people are a bit less friendly. Either way not the same vibe, but still good.
Looking forward to meeting lots of new people on the meseta as some of our good friends have either go on or hung back which is sad.
Two things - put the sound on if you look at the videos - the one inside the cathedral is an ancient clock automaton - his mouth moves as it strikes.
And view out of our window is from our hotel room.
