Bercianas del Real Camino

We made it past Sahagun today to Bercianas del Real Camino today which means we are over the halfway mark!! Woohoo!! It was a tough 25km, the town couldn’t have come at a better time, we were totally wiped out. No real reason, the weather was great, nice and cool all day, but we didn’t arrive until about 3. That’s my limit!! By 2 I want to be where I need to be for the evening, showering, doing laundry, and off my feet. We started at 7:30, still dark, so 7.5 hours is enough. We stopped in Sahagun because we needed food for the last 10km and Holly left her hat at the place we stayed last night so she needed sun protection. That little stop cost us a good hour, which set us behind but food and hats are important so it was necessary. We didn’t leave the albergue we are staying once we got here. Laundry and dinner were able to be done here thankfully. We are in a dorm room with several others. ONE girls toilet and 2 showers. Really? Who designed this place? Obviously not a woman!! Princess needs to tough it out for one night and I’ll be back to a private room tomorrow night. 😂 At least I’m in a bunk, albeit a top bunk, with a curtain and little light and plugins for my phone. I feel like a little kid hiding right now on my phone when I should be going to sleep. The snoring has already started in a bunk near me..as well as some passing of gas..and someone trying to hide their coughing (ok my heart goes out to that person lol been there!) this should be a restful night. Ugh. The smell of menthol is filling the room soothing someone’s sore muscles, luckily that helps with the other smells. God help me. I’m too old for this communal living shit. I have booked all our accommodations ahead to Santiago so I think we have only one more bunk room situation out of the next 15 days. This too shall pass..but on a positive note..we are on the downhill slide. We’ve got this!! 😘😘Read more
