It’s a strange feeling walking through an unfamiliar landscape on the way to such a familiar place – I have started in Astorga four times, the Scouse Spouse twice. We were excited to get there and also possibly even more aware of our surroundings because it was the last bit of the unknown. I remembered … More CF Day 21 – Hospital to Astorga
Another sunny camino morning, another walk. We went to the bus station and got the early-ish bus back to San Miguel, and had breakfast there. There were several pilgrims, alone and in couples and groups, but oddly no one greeted each other or said hello or goodbye to the barstaff or buen camino when other … More CF Day 20 – San Miguel to Hospital de Orbigo
Rest day! Yay! We slept in, then went for a small wander and had a late, lazy breakfast in the sunshine at our local León square. Then we browsed our guidebooks and itinerary plan. And … discovered we had a problem. When we planned the walk, the idea was to get a local bus past … More CF Day 19 – León to San Miguel

We were up and out before sunrise, which doesn’t … More CF Day 18 – Reliegos to León

I woke up in a cold sweat at stupid early in the morning, with a blistering headache and a dreadful feeling that something was seriously wrong. I tried to drink water but couldn’t hold it down, … More CF Day 17 – Sahagún to Reliegos
After a quick breakfast of café con leche, Aquarius and some bread and jamón, we made our way out in the dusk. I did feel better, though not great, and attributed it to going more or less without food for two days and having the camino flu. I loved being back on the road again … More CF Day 16 – Ledigos to Sahagún
After a mostly sleepless night, on the positive side I knew for certain that I was not well. No way could I manage 17 kms with no place to rest and no facilities. The Scouse Spouse went off into the dusk while I carried on sleeping, hoping to stay in the room until midday if … More CF Day 15 – Carrion to Ledigos
