Well we climbed Montes de Oca and I must be getting used to this climbing as it was not as bad as anticipated,perhaps because we climbed half of it yesterday. We stayed over in a fab hotel which had an Alberge (hostel) at the back,called San Anton in Villafranche. It was very nice as we took a room with just two beds and bath.We could actually dispense with the sleeping bags and get in between two crispy clean sheets...it was heaven..
Most times we sleep in rooms with varying number of beds. It is not pretty and can be quite noisy with organic sounds going on all night. In bed by 9 pm, all settled by 10 and at two thirty am the throng all seem to need to use the bath room at the same time. So if you can get back to sleep by 3.30 am you are lucky. Then up at six to start getting ready to walk.
Today on the way to San Juan de Ortega we passed through a lot of forest,then out onto a scene reminiscent of one of Van Gogh´s Sun Flower paintings. Fields and Fields of sunflowers......Gorgeous!
We are heading to a city called Burgos tomorrow,a gruelling 25 klms walk through not so pretty landscape. Then we take a break in Burgos..one whole day of not walking......yahoo!
ok thats all for now,will get back soon.
