The sun has got his hat on hip hip hoorah ie the weather has changed and we have lovely warm sun again. The walk however is still similar to previous days ie arrow straight with little of interest to see. Burgos to Leon has very little to recommend it!
In fact we were very lucky today as we thought we might have to walk 39k to get to a hotel due to a Fiesta and bull fight, in town which meant no rooms available (No Room in the Inn!) how those words reverberate down the centuries however we managed to find the last room in an Albergue (hostel for the pilgrims). A couple of Grandee Cervezas later and we were right as rain.
Q - we hope that the Earth starts moving quicker so that we do otherwise we may have to invest in a yak! Or horse....sounds quite nice actually!
Marathon Man - thank you for your support...

If memory serves me right, the next 2-3 days are THE worst of the whole trip - nothing but nosiy roadside trudgary until you head cross country again just before Puente de Orbigo other side of Leon.
But Leon itself is a delight - and no doubt will tigger a touch of 'deja vous' for Nikki. Now where is that LARGE jar containing SMALL amount of face cream gone???
You have good days, and you have bad days.....this must have been one of the former.....Show your mental toughness
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue.
Just read all of your blog to date, Meg & I are jealous. Sounds rewarding even if not all of it is enjoyable. We have just returned from 10 days in FNQ, an old friend rang up a few weeks back looking for someone to help him drive a ute from Melbourne to Bingal Bay so, given I had nothing else to do, I agreed and we had a memorable 3 day drive up through central Qld etc. Meg used up some of our f/flyer points and we had a wander around the Atherton Table Lands, Port Douglas, Mission Beach, Cairns, etc enjoying the 25 degree days and 18 degree nights. Now back to 10 degree Melbourne job hunting. Thanks for the blog and keep up the good walk!
