      Day 16 to Carrión de los Condes

      22 Mei, Spanyol ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

      Cold morning... flat road... this would've been great to run! So therefore I decided to take it super slow... contemplating life & stuff... 20km alone... was good though. The aim is to not arrive in the next town before lunch... cause then it's just too long to hang...

      Saw 2 runners... and felt a bit jealous.

      Came to a crossroad where you can either go left or right... I took the right hand side arrow and glad I did... was stunning under trees and next to a river... the Left side is next to a road!

      Saw the lady with injured knee again... she does not give up!
      Met 3 young cyclists from Spain last night and they flew past today! Having a total jol!

      Ps. Saw Michael (from Pamplona) in the Supermarcado... I think there's a sweet love developing!!! (Between him and young Korean girl... looks like they're hanging together)

      Pss. Met Miguel from Muxia!! His first Camino

      Carry on to Carrion

      31 Mei, Spanyol ⋅ 🌬 68 °F

      We enjoyed a somewhat liesurly morning at the hotel. We were so happy to have scrambled eggs and fruit and coffee and we're really in no hurry today. We opted to shave a few kilometers off of our trip by getting a taxi to drop us off on the alternative route so we could walk along the river with tree canopy. The cold breeze dropped the temperature by over 10° today on the Meseta, keeping us cool as we walked towards Carrion.

      We lingered for a lunch break in the small village of Villacazar, enjoying refreshments with fellow Pilgrims. Trina and Cheryl spent some time in the 13th century Romanesque cathedral. I hung out in the square underneath the tent and enjoyed the fresh air. We walked another 6 km on the somewhat souledd "sendas" or paths along the roadway until we hit our destination. We walked about 12 k today, and are now about 405 miles to Santiago... Depending on what guide or road sign you believe.

      Our hotel welcome was less than welcoming, as I entered the lobby I was "greeted" by a self-check-in machine portal that required me to give all my reservation details, insert my passport, and more. I was having a bit of a time with it until Trina got here because I could not complete it without each other's information to check in. Is this what guest services is coming to? After multiple failures, and words of encouragement from fellow pilgrims who somehow got someone to get them inside, Trina arrived and we succeeded!

      Trina went out to the rooftop pool to bask in the warm sunshine, complete with new age music. I went down to the neighboring square and had a glass of wine and a conversation with my temper and lack of patience for automated technology in hospitality. I also talked to some friends, then decided to go relax by the pool instead of listening to the singing nuns, a big Camino Attraction happening soon

      Now as I sit in the sunshine, I remind myself of the wonderful day that we have had, with warm blue skies, puffy white clouds, beautiful fields and a nice cold breeze. I imagine summer pilgrims do not get to have this version of the Meseta. Lucky us. We have everything we need.

      40k het is even wennen

      7 Mei, Spanyol ⋅ ⛅ 4 °C

      Vandaag met zon en goede moed vertrokken op weg naar mijn volgende halte op de camino.
      Het slapen in slaapzalen blijft een dingetje, zeker met van die Koreanen die voor dag en dauw opstaan om zo snel mogelijk bij hun volgende bestemming aan te komen. Dus helemaal uitgerust en fris was ik dan ook niet.
      Maar ja.. goede moed en lekker weer doen een hoop. Ik zette er goed de vaart in en na een flink aantal Koreanen gepasseerd te hebben werd het heerlijk rustig op de camino. Zo rustig zelfs dat ik mijn app er een paar keer bij moest pakken om te zien of ik wel de juiste route volgde.
      Al met al een heerlijk rustige wandeling. Toen ik op een gegeven moment had besloten door te lopen tot Sahagún, wat 40k vanaf mijn start lag, wilde ik wel zeker zijn dat ik daar dan ook een slaapplaats kon bemachtigen.
      Uiteindelijk kreeg ik het advies (omdat ze geen reserveringen voor dezelfde dag aannemen) om op tijd aan te komen.
      Daar gingen mijn lunch plannen. Doorlopen was het devies.
      Uiteindelijk aangekomen na ongeveer 7 uur non stop en flauw van het energie tekort. Snel ingecheckt gedoucht en een restaurant bezocht voor een pasta bolognese. Door de flauwte had ik zelfs moeite met eten en uiteindelijk maar de helft opgegeten. Maar goed, alles trekt bij. Supermarkt bezocht voor wat eiwitrijke yoghurt, banaantjes en een paar andere dingen. Zo komt mijn energie weer langzaam terug.
      Morgen mag ik de lunch niet uitstellen. Dat is een feit.

      At Carrion de los Condes

      4 Mei, Spanyol ⋅ 🌬 18 °C

      After climbing out of the enormous bed in last night’s hotel (I’m sure it could easily sleep 4!), we set out at about 8.30. And we are now staying at probably the best hotel of the trip tonight (though León will be similar), the hotel Monasterio San Zoilo, an ex monastery and almost like a parador. We’ve been here twice before and so were anticipating a lovely stay. All the hotels have been good, and very varied, but a few stand out.

      It was a fairly easy walk, 20 kms and flat, and we took the more scenic route through the fields and by a river, the alternative being a track beside the road for 15 kms. And it was warmer today, with all the layers on it became almost too many, and just before we arrived Rach and I shed a layer…that just means comfortable….we weren’t shivering for ages afterwards like we were 2 days ago! But it was windy, and we arrived very windswept….but no rain! We are so lucky…

      So despite being fairly flat it was very pleasant and brilliant green countryside, and many birds twittering and Rachel has an app that identifies birdsong! Such fun, we often hear nightingales which I’ve never consciously heard before, also cuckoos, warblers, and today the way was dotted with beautifully flowering tamarisks.

      A highlight of this segment is a visit to a wonderful church - Santa Maria de la Blanca - a Templar church in a small town, Villalcazar de Sirga, about 5 kms before arriving at Carrion. It is a magnificent building and we enjoyed seeing it again…it closes for the afternoon at 1pm, so there is always that deadline as you walk, but we were in good time…

      Had a beer and some croquetas in the bar here before we even checked in. Now relaxing and unwinding. Amr soaked his feet in the bidet just because he could…he is very proud of all the hat comments! We have dinner here at 8 or so and should be good.

      in Carrión de los Condes

      25 April 2023, Spanyol ⋅ ☁️ 57 °F

      Following my longest day, i had a short day - only about 13 miles. Still, i did not feel well, not just physically, but also unmotivated. I simply did not want to walk today. Walking 13 mi when there’s not even an ounce in you that wants to do it is nearly an unmatched mental challenge 😂. But now I am in Carrión (which is at the 400km mark i think), staying in a 4 star hotel that used to be a monastery that my mom booked for me saying it was her favorite stay on the Camino, so all is well. :) also in choosing my pics, i realized I didn’t take a lot today. I think I begrudgingly stomped my way here all 13 miles and forgot to enjoy it. 😅Baca selengkapnya

      Fazit der 11. Woche

      4 Juni 2023, Spanyol ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

      Eigentlich wollte ich ein wenig klagen. Heute Morgen hatte ich etwas den Wegkoller. Wir hatten eine enge Unterkunft, unruhige Pilger und dazu schlechte Luft im Raum. Ich hatte das Gefühl dass meine Kleider alle stinken trotzdem ich immer wieder von Hand wasche. Nach der Ankunft und einer Siesta sind wir in die Stadt gegangen um einen Kaffee zu trinken und da haben wir völlig überraschend Ellen getroffen. Das letzte Mal haben wir sie in Moissac getroffen. Eine Schweizerin aus Chur.
      Wir haben uns sehr gefreut. Dann hat sie mir ihre Geschichte und den Grund für den Jakobsweg anvertraut.
      In zehn Tagen jährt sich der Todestag ihres Mannes zum zweiten Mal. Sie waren über 35 Jahre zusammen und haben gemeinsame Kinder. Er starb an einem Herzinfarkt in ihrem Beisein. Sie will nun einen Stein vom Grab ihres Mannes beim Eisenkreuz hinterlegen, um ihn loslassen zu können. Sie will ihr Gewissen, nicht genug für ihn getan zu haben, entlasten. Sie will die Bilder in ihrem Kopf loslassen, im Wissen dass er immer bei ihr sein wird. Und ich Kleingläubiger jammere über meine Kleider……., dabei laufen mir Tränen die Wangen runter.
      Tragt Sorge zu Euch und lebt zufrieden und dankbar!
      Roland

      Day 18 FromistaDay 19 CarrionDeLosCondes

      28 April, Spanyol ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

      On Day 18 we woke up to a surprise ascent that reminded us of the Pyrenees. A 26 km day that included a walk by the old canal into Fromista. Alot of churches have stork nests on their steeples, I've only seen that here in N.Spain.
      Day 19 was a flat 20 km straight line day that had us checking into our church municipal hostel run by the Sisters of Charity - it will be a warm sleep as the sisters won't shut the heat at 10pm🙏

      Albergue Espíritu Santo

      7 Agustus 2022, Spanyol ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

      All albergues in Carrión have some connection with a church. The place is full of churches!
      But this isn't like the parochial albergue I stayed at in Grañón, which had basic facilities and was by donation. This one has a set price, and it is very clean, spacious and comfortable inside.
      I had read good reviews about it and I was coming straight here. Jan followed and is here too. Without having arranged it, Milka, Svenia and the Belgians also ended up in the same place, and Carol as well - plus other people I don't know.

      Day 18

      10 September 2022, Spanyol ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

      Fair to say I woke up feeling a bit tired this morning.. I’m no party popper and I love a good band!… but!.. 3am really is kind of late to finish playing… especially when I’m getting up soon after 6.. but hey ho…
      Waiting to go into breakfast .. it’s always a busy one.. a guy that had said hello last night at dinner, asked if I was going the whole distance… I said I was, asked if he was, he asked where I’d started, I said St John, asked where he had… he said Germany!! I sort of blurted / squeaked out WHAT 😮.. he then asked if he could join me for breakfast!! Feeling a tad rude about my response, I said yes of course!!😬
      Turns out, Norbert, from Bavaria, set off walking from Germany, to do the Camino!! He’s a bit tired ( really??!! ) and had lots if blisters.. but hoping to finish by the end of September as he’s flying back on 2nd October.. what a guy!!! I imagine I’ll catch up with him again ( he’s said he’s stayed in a few of the same places as me up to now??!.. who knew?! ) .. he’s staying in a monastery tonight and I’d love to hear about it.
      He must have seen my three legs on my rucksack as he seemed to know I was from the Isle of Man, and said it had always been a dream of his to have raced the TT, but it just hadn’t worked out.. what a small world we live in..
      The walk today wasn’t actually all that interesting, but it was just a fabulous morning to be out walking and appreciating how lucky I am to have the health and fitness to be able to do, and enjoy this walk. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky and it was just a feel good morning!
      If I’m totally honest, I had very low expectations of where I was to finish today, but, it’s a really lovely place, small, but absolutely vibrant and just so different from the last two places.
      It’s a little bit sad, but I got seriously excited that I count do laundry here too!! Showered, changed, laundry sorted, I went off for a wander around.. yep!! I ended up in a bar with a beer watching the last 59km of the penultimate stage if the Vuelta!
      My dinner this evening was at a different location to where I was staying…. VEGETABLES!! YES!!i had the most amazing plate of vegetables…I’m so hy.. it really is the small things…
