Day 11 - AM - Belorado to Ages

Dan woke us up at 6am this morning so that we could walk while the moon and stars were still out and so we could see the sunrise. We packed up, had breakfast and left the albergue around 7am. We had to use our headlamps to light the way.

Even though it was a longer distance at 28 km, it didn't feel like it. The major obstacles this morning were finding open cafes for snack and lunch. We had to walk for 2.5 hours before we found one. Friends who had walked further yesterday were surprised to come across us this morning.

It was nice to see familiar faces at every cafe and we made sure to fill up on coffee and food given how few towns had open shops.

We went down one road which seemed never-ending but were glad to find a bar at the end. We really dawdled there because it was warm, rustic, and the food was yummy with cheesecake and lasagna. The bar was only 45 minutes from the albergue. When we got to our destination in Ages, we debated going even further because everyone felt good. In the end we decided to stay bc we had made a reservation and the owner may have turned away others because of our reservation.

After dinner, we playes some card games and drinking games which was really fun.

Tomorrow is a shorter walk anyways with 20 km into Burgos so no rush in the morning. We have booked another apartment for 6-7 people and check in isn't until 3pm. We are looking forward to cooking together and staying two nights and days to explore the City.Read more
