• Day 20 - to Villarmentero de Campos

    10.–11. kesäk. 2024, Espanja ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    We left the little Monastery this morning feeling a bit tired and out of sync! In these places, everyone gets up so early, and then it just creates angst about getting up and setting off early too! That's not my jam!

    I was a little disappointed that it wasn't run by Italian hospitaleiros like I'd read about... just 2 Spaniards. And the foot washing ceremony seemed a little rushed and lasted all of 5 mins for 8 of us!?

    The snorecopheny was in full swing last night, too... but my ear plugs (shoutout to 'happy ears' earplugs - THE best!) did an amazing job in dulling it all down! Luckily, I didn't have to get up for the toilet in the middle of the night as they were outside, and it was freezing! 🥶

    It was a battle between sun & cloud today and extremely windy & cold. The route was a bit boring as the path was mostly along roads, so not alot of pics to take unfortunately!

    It was one of those days where my gear just wouldn't sit right!... not sure what was going on!...maybe the wind?? ... something about woolly weather just really grates my goat!

    We had some interesting chats with people from the US today, and the message I especially got was not to judge a book by its cover.... these people may have seemed a bit 'different' upon the 1st meeting, but wow, did they have some stories to share ... really deep, moving stories that put things into perspective ... I'm glad our paths crossed 💜
