      Tag25 Burgo Ranero Mansillas las Mulas

      May 26, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

      Heute ging es nach Mansillas de las Mulas. Der Weg führte größtenteils an der Straße entlang.
      Was natürlich eher eintönig ist . Die Stadt selbst hat auch nicht wirklich viel zu bieten.
      Aber die Landschaft ja was soll ich sagen einfach wunderschön. Später gibt es noch etwas zu essen und dann Schlafen. Morgen geht's nach Leon das wird etwas ganz anderes. Bin gespannt wie es weitergeht.Read more

      Von Sahagún nach el burgo de ranero.

      May 25, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

      Buenas a todas. So langsam neigt sich die fast endlose meseta dem Ende zu und der Weg nach León ist nicht mehr weit. Heute war der Weg nach el burgo de ranero angesagt und ich muss sagen, dass dieser keine großen optische Reize zu bieten hatte. Nach exakt 3 Wochen Pilgern, muss man feststellen, dass dieser Weg so einiges bei einem bewirkt. Man geht in sich und denkt sehr viel nach, vor allem, wenn der Weg wenig optische Anreize bietet. Über el burgo de ranero bleibt nur zu sagen, tote Hose 😂😂. Ein pueblo wie im Buche. Nun gut, der camino bietet immer Überraschungen. Eines ist fast immer gleich, Vormittags rennt mann seinem Schatten hinterher und Nachmittags wird man von ihm verfolgt. So ist das, wenn man auf dem camino von Osten nach Westen wandert. Erkenntnis des Tages: Seinen Schatten wird man nie los. Adios y buenas noches.Read more

      Etappe 17 - Villarente

      October 1, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 4 °C

      Super geschlafen, gut ausgeruht gegen 8.00 Uhr gestartet. Erst noch schnell im Café ein kleines Frühstück.
      Bloß gut, denn die nächste Bar war wieder 2, 5 Wegstunden entfernt.
      Die Etappe war erneut sehr unspektakulär und eintönig.
      Bin jetzt am Rio Torio angekommen und habe ein Zimmer in einem kleinen Hotel gefunden. Morgen habe ich dann noch ca. 2 Std. nach Leon. Übernachtungen für die kommenden Tage vorgebucht.
      Saß jetzt mehr als eine Stunde am Flussufer. Entspannung pur!!! Das Wasser ist ganz klar und noch schön angewärmt. Da ist die Lust groß einzutauchen.
      An dieser Stelle danke ich meinen Freunden einmal. Susanne und Matthias haben mich top über die letzten beiden Jahre auf den Camino vorbereitet. Alle in Dresden gekauften Sachen für den Camino haben sich hervorragend bewährt. Ebenfalls danke an Karin und Peter. Ihre erweiterten Tipps auf dem Camino haben mir manchmal weitergeholfen und das Shirt trägt sich super.
      Fazit des Tages: gute Freunde sind durch nichts zu ersetzen. Sie stehen dir jederzeit bei und lassen sich nicht beirren. Dankeschön.      Read more

      Day 22

      September 14, 2022 in Spain ⋅ 🌧 13 °C

      Well.. today I set off intending to be better prepared for the rain than I was yesterday.. I literally didn’t sleep ( nothing to do with having THE most uncomfortable bed ever ) trying to decide what would be the best thing to wear… we’re talking waterproof or not, not some glamorous going out outfit 🙄😬
      Anyway, after being caught short and ending up soaked before I’d managed to even get my coat on yesterday, I set off wearing everything, hoping I wouldn’t end up sweating (lovely 😳😬 ) underneath before the rain set in….
      It was a very poor breakfast, so I left it and decided to get going.. fortunately it was way colder than yesterday and I ended up perfectly dressed 👍🏼👍🏼
      Again, it was more of a head down and just get there day today, so not too many pictures as my phone was buried under my layers..
      On my arrival, I checked out where I was staying, before going back to the pension for a coffee and some toast ( my new found appetite was calling 😳 )
      Whilst eating I meet Eave ( from Denmark ) as you do!!! and was subsequently joined by Rocky.. he’s given me the trail name Hummingbird.. he’s done all of the major American trails, has so many stories, lived an extraordinary life and someone I’m proud to now consider a friend.. I’ve told him I’ll get a hummingbird charm that will always be a reminder of my Camino 🥰
      The rain and thunder were constant this afternoon and so showered and washing done I started reading and sleeping.. I’m such a lightweight 😬
      I had been intending to catch with Rocky, Doc and Bianca for a few Rhummy??!? games, but didn’t want to get soaked to do so..
      No beer today ( it was definitely a coffee day ) I set off 25 minutes early for dinner thinking I’d have one whilst waiting…. I just wanted an excuse to be there early enough to make sure I got a table 😂
      Whilst I didn’t catch up with “ the crew “ I did end up eating with a couple I’d stayed at the same places as a few times earlier in the trip .. ended up having a fabulous evening and we were joined by older American couple who’d been touring ( on foot ) Croatia/Bosnia and somewhere else before joining the Camino in Pamplona..they were on a tight schedule as they were really close to their visas running out 🙄
      So looking forward to sleeping tonight on a more comfortable bed without worrying about “what to wear” 🙄🙄
      Not many pictures due to the rain..      Read more

      Booming

      April 14 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

      I am sitting here in utter disbelief at the RUCKUS being caused by, and I'm not generalising here as it's a fact, men between 50 and 65. This albergue has three upstairs rooms but it's a loft style roof, meaning the walls don't go up all the way, there's a gap and we all share airspace.

      I have the bunk withdrawal process down to an absolute minimum in terms of time and decibels. I come to the communal area (and if there is none, outside) and do my dressing and deodorising and repacking and zipping there. It's surprising how much variation there is in the rush hour albergue by albergue, some you don't hear anyone move until 7, others are earlier.

      I was downstairs by 5.30, joined by another decent human being at 5.45 and then from 6 I actually don't think I could have made more noise than these BEASTS are making upstairs if I tried. One of them dropped his stick, clattering down the bunk ladder as it fell, twice. I'd have killed myself after the first time so that completely blew my mind.

      I'm waiting until my phone gets to 70% (because naturally they hogged the two chargers per room upstairs) then I will walk around giving each of them a sharp poke in the ribs, turn and glare at them at the threshold, put my nose in the air and storm off.      Read more

      By volume, an A+

      April 13 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

      First time I've gotten an entire bottle of wine included, that's for sure. Taste wise, pretty decent too. €14 and I'm happy and ready for bed.

      Edited to add: in preparation for bed I've realised I've lost my battery pack, most likely in Hontanas when I charged it after the USB lid walk. This actually is frustrating given it's new and useful and I should be more organised than this but it's also Just A Thing and I'm not going to lose sleep over it. It is one of the miracles of travelling alone that I get to decide exactly how much weight to give everything. One quick GRRRRR and we move on.Read more

      Sahagún to El Burgo Ranero

      October 6, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

      It was a nice short walk today, about 18km, with light packs in beautiful weather.

      Because of scarce accommodation in today’s destination town, we walked there and caught a taxi back. We arranged with the taxi driver to return us to El Burgo early tomorrow, whence we will continue forward progress.

      We left our digs at Los Balcones about 8am, with very light packs since we’d be returning later. Walking conditions were near perfect with cool, dry weather, clear skies and a light breeze,

      The path followed a rural road that bore almost zero traffic. It was a wide, smooth dirt track lined most of the way with shade trees, making for a very pleasant stroll.

      We saw extensive corn fields along the way. A couple of high speed trains zoomed past in the distance.

      We stopped for coffee at the halfway mark in the bar of an albergue in Bercianos, where we also met our English friend Steve and his wife, first met back in Alesanco.

      On arrival we had omelette for lunch, strolled up to admire the San Pedro church, and then called for a taxi back to Sahagún.      Read more

      Another day walking long straight flat stretches of the Meseta. Today we walked next to a paved road with hardly any traffic and the Camino was lined with
      trees. The kilometers keep decreasing

      Rest day in Leon

      September 17, 2019 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

      Yesterday we walked 24 klms along the old Roman road instead of along the highway from Sahagún to Mansilla de los Mulas.
      If you know yer Román roads then you know they are made up of layers and layers of rocks. So it made for a bumpy and slow walk. We had to stop a few times when there was shade (hardly any on the way) and give the feet an airing, it helps to prevent blisters forming. Take boots and both sets of socks off.
      We decided to bus 🚍 the last few clicks into León as we knew it was just car dealerships and factories for another 18klms ,no guilt felt whatsoever. There are pilgrims who walk every single kilometre and feel like they have cheated if they don't, that's their choice, I chose the bus and we booked a hotel for a rest day. The bliss of real sheets a double bed, towels and our own shower.🚿
      León seems like a nice city, it has a nice vibe. Today after a nights sleep we are chilling with a late breakfast, watching the people go by and not planning on doing too much except pottering.
      We have now walked 461 k's which I can hardly believe so we are over the halfway stage, we plan to walk to finisterre(the ocean) which is another 100 so that will be 900 if we can do it all. That's like walking to Sydney from Brisbane, wow. 😲
      Things I've noticed are
      Spanish don't do tea, no kettle and teabags in hotels and hardly a kettle anywhere to be found. I miss tea! 🥤
      They eat a Lot of bread, I love bread but I am getting a bit fed up of it. 🥪
      Europeans in general smoke a lot. 🚭
      Older guys go to the local bar for a few drinks and play cards or dominoes with their friends in the afternoon, I thought that seemed like a nice thing. 🍻
      Spanish ladies can be feisty. 🔥
      Spanish ladies dress beautifully on the whole, lovely shoes and outfits. I have often felt a bit underdressed in my Pilgrim attire that I wear everyday.
      Some days I have even had to commit fashion crime and wear socks with sandals to protect my sore blistered feet. 👡
      Yes you can walk on blisters!
      It's amazing how little you actually need to live.
      I have 2 outfits and 2 sets of socks to wear.
      1pr sandals 1 pr boots. 👢
      My whole pack weighs less than 6 kilos now as I've gotten rid of useless items like a swimming costume, evening top and things I've forgotten about.
      Happiness doesn't require stuff 🧐
      So till next time, adiós amigos 👨‍❤️‍👨      Read more
