Walked part of the way today with the three Irish people IŽd originally met on my first night. They return home today, from Burgos, via Bilbao. We took the bus for the last 8k into the city, and were glad to do so. I bumped into the Camino Twins a few hours later, they had walked the whole way and now couldnŽt find room in an albergue. I pointed them in the direction of the hotel IŽd found, which at 35Euro for a single room is pretty good. Had it been tomorrow none of us would have got in, thereŽs a couple of American tours due.
The weather today has been good, a mix of sun and cloud, so no complaints on that front. The route had some pretty hefty rocks on it, and still some mud in places but a lot of the walking has been on roads
The next stage of the camino doesnŽt have much in the way of shops and cafeŽs, and the guide books recommend stocking up with supplies here, so IŽll be going shopping shortly.
Burgos is home to El Cid, but the statues bear no resemblance either to Charlton Heston or Sophia Loren.
The battry on my camera is nearly exhausted and I have to wait until I get to Leon next week before I have access to the charger for it and for my phone, which IŽve posted to myself there. IŽve posted home the two manuals, for the camera and the voice recorder, as well as the luggage lock that IŽve been carrying - IŽve not really made any use of them, and the few ounces saved will be welcome.
