Burgos to Leon...Flat Flat Flat!!!!







Here we are with our nice fluffy towels again :) Yes we have passed the half way mark and need a treat. In Leon today, in the beautiful old part of town..staying in hotel just outside the Cathedral ..which is the most amazing thing we have ever seen...(have we said that about anything else yet???)



It is beautiful and sunny but very windy and cold for us little Aussies.

ok..we have covered many many kms over the last few days and did we say they were flat, except for the odd mountain that pops up everynow and then!

We spent one night in Carrion de los Condes next to a Church and the nuns looked after us ...well they locked us in at 9.30 and gave us a number to ring if we needed them!!!!! That night they invited us to mass and then back at the Albergue they sang for us and gave us a blessing and a star..beautiful.

Next day was a long straight walk..ah yes flat walk..where Michele managed to purge the devil from within by throwing up every so often!!!! must have been all that darn bread!!!!!!!


You know who your true friend is when she sits by your side on the path, nest to the road,

  3. Once you leave Astorga you will start 'climbing'. Hope you get some views from at least one of the mountains to come, and not too much mist or rain or snow!!

  4. Hey girls. They got snow yesterday in Thredbo. Can you believe it? Do you even care? I can't believe you are more than half way! Isn't it amazing what you apreciate more when you don't have it. Nothing like a good cup of tea.
    Liam & Harry (my darling suns) say hi. Keep up the good work. Keep smiling. Anna
