Day 17-Burgos

The walk to Burgos was...miserable. Yes, we took the beautiful river route but it was the weather that did us in. It was cold, rainy and very windy. The forecast predicted a tiny bit of drizzle but it rained for five hours.

We compounded the misery by not stopping to rest. We only stopped at the first town to drink hot chocolate while standing because the place was packed with drenched pilgrims. We had to climb over backpacks to get in. It's too bad we weren't hungry because the food looked great. I think alot of the pilgrims took taxis at that point but we trudged on.

The view of the cathedral as we walked into the plaza was spectacular! And then it stopped raining and we were rewarded with a blue sky.

Tomorrow is a rest day and I'm looking forward to it.Read more
