Wasn't sure which song was more appropriate but I am "back on the road again"!
I walked from Burgos (after my rest) to Hontanas yesterday which turned out to be 32kms. The day was wet to say the least. For the first 4 hours, it was pretty much a steady downpour. The sun came out eventually. Unfortunately, it didn't affect the temperature much. The rest of the hike was spent slogging through the mud. Stayed on the hamlet of Hontanos...population of 70! It was a nice small place...not even 1 store so there were no distractions.
Today I walked from Hontanas to Fromista which totalled 36km. Needless to say it was a long day so I am celebrating with a very large beer.
The terrain has become increasingly flatter as I am now on the Mesata which is the equivelant of our prairies.
Thanks to everyone for their comments and support!
The cold has settled down quite a bit. It's in my chest a bit but nothing to stop me anymore I hope!
Glad to hear you are "on the road again". Just remember to take care of yourself! Sounds like you jumped back in with both feet based on the number of km you covered. Hope they have the beer "escalofriante" for you! I love these spanish words LOL, hope when you read them you have to get out the translator, then I sound so smart. Miss you lots. Have a great time all is good here. Luv ya
