The real Camino day 10

Well, the path conditions and the pace we have set in the last two days have caught up with me. I too have a couple of blisters, am I a true modern pilgrim now? Any case, Tracey wins the good foot contest.
Today is shorter, around 28km into Burgos but still the horrible rocky paths that rip through your boots and pull your feet in every direction. Care is taken to not get any more blisters.
It’s damp in the air first thing, cold and overcast. Th heat for now has gone, and we start walking in 7 or 8oC... We are on a mission to catch up with the Boys in Burgos (hopefully blisters are healing well). Head down and a short 4km later we stop for a lovely breakfast in Agés. We ask for 2 eggs on toast with our coffees (off the menu, but we know the bars are happy to do them). Unfortunately for the lady serving this starts a run on them from other pilgrims behind us. Fuelled up we set uff, we have a steep two and a bit climb to navigate - and the rocky path!!! Rocky.
We make it down the other side and start the long walk around the air field (why we can’t just walk straight across, I don’t know - we are pilgrims after all!), over the railway and then the overly long 8km walk from the industrial outskirts into the old town.
We make it for 1pm, see the boys just before the Albergue and hug - it’s great to all be back together.
After sweet talking the lady on reception she lets us all in (your not meant to stay more than one night, and the boys were here 2 nights ago). Usual routine of shower, washing (little nap for Tracey) and lunch.
A wonder around the town to see the magnificent cathedral, the castle and many other churches and riverside walk.
Another rest, blog and now out for dinner. Energy for tomorrow, lol.Baca selengkapnya
