Reliegos to Leon

Leon was amazing. We took a rest day here. Leon is my dad’s name & it felt like coming home when I arrived, i felt my dad’s presence and it made it more special. The walks into & out of the cities are long and hard though. It takes a long time to cover the kms on the outskirts of a city. Lots of waiting to cross roads and traffic and industrial areas and shitty outer neighbourhoods. Was beautiful in the morning though. Ed again got late start & sat in cafe and got a taxi the final part of the journey as it was getting late and pretty shitty laborious walking so I suggested he get a taxi… we stayed at a fantastic hostel with little light filled balconies jutting out from the building looking out over cafes and street life, just metres from incredible gothic cathedral. We had such a lovely couple of days, together and alone and with new friends. We ate pizza and churros dipped in chocolate and ice cream and baked cheese cake. I’ve been eating huge amounts of food with all the walking. I think I’ve put on a bit of weight which feels good. We’re well over halfway now… ✌🏾Read more
