    The heatwave was still in full swing so I woke up at 5:00am to start walking again. I powered through like 12km, got some breakfast and started walking again with Xenia, a girl from Russia who’d be finishing her camino the next day in Burgos. We had a great chat at the brekkie stop and over the rest of the way to Santo Domingo which was the original destination.

    Jorge and Meik had decided to walk together and caught up half way through leaving only dust behind them (as all tall people do!). The trail was nice and shady in the forest but full of annoying flies so we just powered through without any photo stops.

    We were finally chillin’ at the first bar before finding our beds for the night but the town was very small and all the cool places to stay were already booked out. We had the option of more expensive accommodation but started talking to a Croatian man who ended up convincing us into walking another 4km to the next town which had more albergues.

    We were beat from the heat but tagged along with him and another guy from Denmark, who we’d end up befriending and sharing lots of beers with over the next few days 🍻
