CF Day 16 – Ledigos to Sahagún

February 13, 2019

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

CF Day 15 – Carrion to Ledigos

February 12, 2019

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

CF Day 14 – Boadilla to Carrion de los Condes

February 10, 2019

I really don’t like walking in the dark. In the dusk I can do, so I can see my shadow slowly forming in front of me and try in vain to photograph the sunrise, but not in the dark, when you can’t see the ground or the landscape. Don’t like walking by flashlight either. But … More CF Day 14 – Boadilla to Carrion de los Condes

CF Day 13 – Castrojeriz to Boadilla

February 9, 2019

Doesn’t look too bad, does it? But as you get closer, you see how steep it is. Nothing else for it than to get up and over it though – we told ourselves the views would be good up there and powered on. And as expected, the views were wonderful! I kept stopping and turning … More CF Day 13 – Castrojeriz to Boadilla

CF Day 12 – Hornillos to Castrojeriz

February 9, 2019

We like to think we live and learn. And so it was that the morning after we left Hornillos early and at speed, to beat the heat. I hate the thought of hurrying or trying to beat anything on the camino, but it just got too hot for us in the afternoons and we seemed … More CF Day 12 – Hornillos to Castrojeriz

CF Day 11 – Burgos to Hornillos

February 8, 2019

We were not happy bunnies on the morning we had to leave lovely Burgos. Not at all. We managed to get a table by the window on the square overlooking the cathedral and had breakfast while discussing when to come back (soon) and how long to stay for (as long as possible). In the end … More CF Day 11 – Burgos to Hornillos
