Day 17 - Burgos to Hornillos del Camino

Aside from the new blister, today almost felt like a rest day. Our lodging was on the outskirts of Burgos so our walk was only 18.5 vs the estimated 21 km. We left at 6:15 am and were done by noon. The weather was cool enough for a long sleeve shirt (52 with a "feels like" of 44 with the wind) and didn't get hot before we finished. There was an open store for lunch, the albergue had a communal meal, and we have lodging for tomorrow, so we were able to rest and relax this afternoon.

The open bar in Hornillos where we had a beer until the albergue opened was rock themed and had music videos playing on the TV. Decent beer but no food aside from a bag of chips until nighttime.

The albergue was modern with a small swimming pool. We don't have bathing suits but it was ice cold and good for soaking the feet. Our lodging also had good shared spaces where we caught up with a peregrina and played some Oh Hell. The communal dinner was paella made from scratch and good company where we met someone from England.

Tomorrow should be another reasonable 20 km day. Tonight's albergue even offers breakfast at 5:30 am, so we'll be caffeinated for the immediate 4 km ascent that we face.
