Early morning stop after great night

Got up early after convivial stay with amazing hostel (proper beds!!!!) run by owner called Eduardo. He seems to run everything this village and is probably the priest, doctor and mayor as well. Great communal dinner with loads of people I had met over the past couple of days and loads of new faces too. It was a proper hotel but with a beautiful dorm in the attic and overflow augergue next door. In the morning telly was on in reception with news of Iran Israel bombardment. Set off in dark and mild rain and got ridiculously and unnecessarily irritated by pilgrim behind me with extraordinarily bright head torch. Tried running like a GI with my pack to get away from shiny pants so I could keep my night sight but then finally decided to chill the fuck out. Made it to Formista as it was getting light. I had noticed when walking into Burgos a lot of the local old boys had been ordering a strange brown drink early in the morning. So when I stopped for an orange juice and toilet stop and old boy ordered one I asked for one of what he's having. So I am either going to power on till lunchtime like a superhero or be asleep in a field by 10am 🤣🤣🤣Read more
