      The BEST albergue yet

      April 6 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

      I didn't super know what this place would be like but I knew I was the only option in town with both wifi and a kitchen so for €15, sold. From now I have exactly €1.45 left until I can get to an ATM in Burgos tomorrow so I'll probably be eating those emergency sardines I've lugged since Roncesvalles.

      It. Is. The. Tits.

      My bed has a CURTAIN behind which is a light and USB ports and a shelf and a blanket, making it the cosiest, sturdiest, most private, and best equipped bunk I've had by far. The rest of the place is adorable and detailed and charismatic. There are just 16 beds, only 10 of them taken, and seven of us just went out to dinner together (paid on card) and had a wonderful time. I'm ecstatic.      Read more

      Onward and Upward to Atapuerca

      September 6, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 75 °F

      We headed out about 7:20 this morning and were blessed with fabulous weather, nice and cool today and alot of clouds. We trekked over what felt like a mountain but I am sure it was not.... lots of tree cover today too.... meet a happy man on top who had the best setup to stop and rest and he was playing music, so friendly even gave mom and I some watermelon which was delicious. Here is to another 13 mules down the path 👣👣👣🍺🍺🍺Read more

      Left Atapuerca 7am walked for about 10 minutes, then realised we had both left our walking poles at where we stayed, so we walked back to collect before starting out again around 7.20 am. We hope we don't do that again. arrived in Burgos at 12.30 pm.
      We only had a couple of small climbs that, in theory, shouldn't have been that difficult, but the terrain that made it difficult. I am hoping the pics will give an idea of what we were walking on. On the outskirts of Burgos, we caught a local bus that dropped us off at the city centre. We are spending 2 days here, and this afternoon, we spent nearly 2 hours going through the cathedral, Spains second larges. Because it's Lynette's birthday she decided we should have some luxury so we are in a cheap hotel, what heaven. Early this evening, we went on a walk around Burgos, like we need any more walking. 😅

      Left Villafranca Montes De Oca at 7 am arrived Atapuerca 1.15 pm.
      18k hike today.
      We were half dreading today as we had been told how steep and hard the climb was going to be. Well, what a surprise, we didn't find it that difficult at all. Yes, it was a long, slow climb, but we had certainly had a lot worse. Today's walk was mainly through the pine forest, which we found very pleasant. There were lots of mosquitoes, though. I thought we had seen the last of the sunflowers, but alas, no.
      Late this afternoon, we are going out to the archeological dig.      Read more

      Atapuerca

      April 1 in Spain ⋅ 🌬 9 °C

      The clocks moved forward yesterday. That meant I started walking as the sun rose.

      The walk to Villafranca Montes de Oca was accompanied by blisteringly cold winds and beautiful views of the rolling planes.

      Continuing to San Juan de Ortega was difficult; overcast skies, cold winds and a monotonous landscape of heather, deciduous and evergreen forests for 12 kilometres along a watershed. At least it was not raining.

      The weather got worse after lunch: hail and sleet to Agés, but thankfully sunshine for the final 2 kilometres to Atapureca.

      [Day 14, 20 km walked, 267 km from St Jean Pied-de-Port, 517 km to Santiago.]      Read more

      Day 13 - Belorado to Ages - one thousand

      June 5, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

      This was going to be a long hard day so left the hostal at 6 - but I might as well have left at 4 as I had almost no sleep as our dorm was noisy! Despite a headache it was a fab mornings walk until we stopped after 12km at Villafranca for coffee and tortilla.
      The next part of the walk was steeply up but not as hard as I had expected and then the most wonderful stroll through woodland with beautiful birdsong (including Bonellis warblers, tree pipit, firecrests, and short toed tree creepers). Then there were the butterflies - thousands of them following me along the trail and all over the flowers. Also a hummingbird hawk moth - one of my favourite insects.
      It was a truly magical day and once the headache went, thanks to paracetamol, I was in heaven! I’m sitting here in an 8 bed dorm writing this with a cuckoo still singing outside. I feel I may not get much sleep this as there is already snoring and coughing :(
      Wonderful meal at a local bar in Ages almost next door to the hostal - the owners only spoke Spanish but I managed to communicate and had a great vegetarian meal - with Caroline, Rachel, Roz, Paul and Nick.
      Burgos tomorrow for two days!!      Read more

      Alberge La Plazuela Verde

      October 9, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

      Heute haben wir ohne Rucksäcke gewandert da es Mr.Bag gesundheitlich nicht gut ginge...Die Wanderung war schön. Wir haben die Koreanerin Stella kennengelernt - sie war sehr, sehr nett. Trotz Sprachbarriere haben wir uns über Google Translate unterhalten können.
      Heute sind wir auch rechtzeitig in unsere Herberge gekommen wo wir erste mal kochen könnten. Wir haben uns Nudeln mit Sauce gemacht, welche wir direkt vor Ort - in einem kleinem Mini Store gekauft haben.
      Die Herberge ist schön, aber leider wie so viele einfach heruntergekommen und dreckig. Ich verstehe es immer noch nicht wie können Menschen so leben....      Read more

      Etappe 11

      February 12, 2023 in Spain

      Von Belorado nach Ages sind es rund 28 km. Schon ziemlich lange für meine noch immer angeschlagenen Achillessehnen und meine andauernde Erkältung. Die Etappe zog sich ziemlich, auch deswegen weil es keine einzige Möglichkeit gab irgendwo einzukehren, sich aufzuwärmen und einen Kaffee zu trinken. Noch dazu ist unterwegs einer meiner Wanderstöcke kaputt gegangen, das war so ärgerlich, denn obwohl ich zu Beginn nicht der riesen Fan von Wanderstöcken war, habe ich mich mit der Zeit daran gewöhnt und die Dinger schätzen gelernt.
      Angekommen im geplanten Ort Ages wurde uns bewusst dass die Albergue umbeheizt war! Es war so kalt da drinnen, dass wir unseren Atem sehen konnten! Maria, Geordi und ich haben daher beschlossen 2.4 km weiter zu gehen, nach Atapuerca. Dort kamen wir in einer wunderschönen Herberge unter, welche der Besitzer selbständig und mit viel Liebe zum Detail errichtet und gebaut hat.      Read more

      Mantras
      Start now, there may not be a tomorrow

      Last night, I tried to invite another pilgrim to dinner with our Camino family.
      Me: hola, hungry? (Gesturing with my hand towards my mouth)
      Her: yes
      Me: Come! (Gesturing with a “come here” hand motion then wait upstairs for her to arrive)
      Her: no thank you for food. I thought you asked if I was from Hungary.
      Me: oh, no. Where are you from?
      Her: Hungary
      Me: 🤦🏼‍♀️

      I had a long day today again, at 9 hours. Over 30km in the cold and then the heat. I’ve got something weird happening to my feet! They are so swollen, feel bruised, and have rashes that creep up my legs. Gross! Not sure what is happening. Trying new things tomorrow to hopefully fix it.

      Exhausted. Going to bed.

      PS I ordered breaded chicken breast for dinner. Not sure what I actually got. Made me giggle.      Read more

      Castildelg til Espinosa del Camin

      April 24, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

      Dagen ble som dagen i går, gjennom landsbyer og et åpent jordbrukslandskap - en rundt 22 km tur i varierende terreng , dvs bakke opp og bakke ned. Landsbyene ligger fortsatt på høyder og for å forsere disse må jeg opp til- og ned i den andre enden. I en av landsbyene på veien, Villamayor del Rio, ble det frokost - av det samme slaget - tortilla de poteta, juice og kaffe. Til lunsj sper jeg på med en kald cola. Det gir hurtig energi og med etterfylling med en banan går kroppen resten av dagen. Banan er sikringskost og kjekt å ha i sekken om en går tom. Jeg går stort sett med 1 liter vann, fordelt på 2 flasker.
      I Belrado ble det tid for lunsj, fra en «food truck», sammen med Tim og Alexandra - som jeg har gått med de siste dagene. Dagen endte i Castildelgado i Albergue Bideluze. Hyggelig sted med ok mat. Ved 9-tiden fant jeg sengen, med en serie på NRK. Ingen spor av caminosneglekompisen min i dag heller.
      Ps. Venstre kne er vondt og begge hovne etter dagens dont. Jeg vurderer om jeg skal bryte, ta hjem og heller ta det opp i igjen til høsten, etter laksesesongen. Dagen i morgen vi avgjøre.      Read more
