Well I made it. 26 miles. I averaged 3 mph of walking, 8.7 total hours.

My dogs are barking, but otherwise, I feel pretty good.

Dinner at the hostel was really good. Fish and chips, but actually good and actually homemade.

Nice day walking. I got a small blister yesterday. The blister and my plantar fasciitis were having a lively conversation for a while, but soon they ran out of things to say and got very quiet.

Burgos is a neat old place. Lots of public art and lots of regular old tourists too.

The cathedral here is great. It’s got it’s very own Unesco world heritage designation apart from the city. That’s unique.

I’ve got a long day ahead. 26 miles if I can make it. If not, I’ll call a taxi and save myself from walking in the dark at the end of the day.

I was on the struggle bus most of the day.

It ended well though. I was one of the first to check in at my albergue and got a bottom bunk.  That’s 4 nights in a row. Very nice.

I didn’t really plan very well for the next big city. Some event is happening in Burgos and the rooms/beds are kinda expensive. Ah well.

Kinda a short day today.

Belorado is small and quaint. After you check in to your whatever, there’s some castle ruins to see and a very small town square.

Tomorrow is a longer and tougher day. I’ve been enjoying the challenge of getting most of the day’s walking done before my lunch. That’ll mean 15 miles before 2 pm. Edit: I got all my miles before 1.
