Boarded the fast train to Burgos this morning, a 6 hour journey through some very hot and dry countryside.
Caught a local bus from the station that dropped us off in the centre of town. We started walking in the direction of our hostel, and stopped to study the map. An elderly gent who spoke no English at all started asking us questions. We figured out he wanted to help and walked us straight to the front door of the hostel.
We spent the afternoon wandering around Burgos and stopped for the dinner just outside the cathedral.
Sitting outside still, 9pm, as it's still to hot to go to bed.
First day of walking starts tomorrow and the heat is still going to be in the early 30's.Read more
