Day 10 - PM - Belorado

Today was a short 15 km walk given our long day yesterday. We will arrive in Burgos in 2 days and plan to get a rest day to enjoy the city and allow our friends behind us to catch up.

One friend walked 52 km today to catch up - he arrived at 7 pm!

For us it was a nice leisurely hike with some friendly animals along the way, fig picking, and a long break an hour outside of Belorado. It was so nice to just soak in the sunshine when it finally appeared, put our feet up, and slowly sip our cafe con leches. We didn't want to leave!

We arrived at our albergue at 1 pm and had snacks on the terrace and compared sayings in different languages. Our "while the cat is away, the mice will play" sounded more like "the mice will dance on the table" in Dutch.

I didn't have a great sleep the night before in Granon because it was cold and I didn't have a sleeping bag. I will pick one up in Burgos at Decathlon - it will definitely be needed as the weather gets cooler. I made up for the lack of sleep with a 2 hour nap this afternoon. To avoid the chilly evening, some of us opted to stay in the albergue for the pilgrim's dinner which was surprisingly filling and good. I've paid an extra 1 euro for blankets tonight so that I'll be nice and warm.

Tomorrow is another long day (28 km to Ages) so I hope to leave the albergue around 7 am with my friends.もっと詳しく
