Hello everyone..check this out
http://www.boadilladelcamino.com/
this is where we are for the night. We were supposed to get to Fromista tonight..but we stumbled across this place while looking for a vino tino to get us thru the afternoon..another 6kms. We thought the vino might get our minds off our feet....BUT.... we walked in thru the gate and found paradise :)
Lawns, gardens..tulips ...sally and gerard lying on the lawn with a beer..ahhhh.
we went and got our vino and patatas fritas and fell to the ground on the lawn....our fellow travellers then convinced us that it was a bad move to continue on..we flipped a coin...ahh we had to stay!!!
Will try to put photos on next main town, probably Leon..that is if we ever check out of paradise!!!
All is good.we are very happy and meeting lots of people and are now not wearing all our clothes at once as the sun is now shining ...sometimes..but it is still about 3 degrees when we atart in the mornings..
The last few days have been long straight roads..we are now on the meseta / plateau...and have quite a few days of this...could do our heads in....
We are attracting much attention with our Aussie style ...you know long johns under shorts!!! it is not easy being a pilgrim and glamorous at the same time..but we manage...
Don´t know why we worrried about PJ´s ..you just sleep in the clothes you are going to wear the next day ...they could also be the ones we wore that day..and the day before that...
This is just a quick update to let you know we are still alive..and on track. we are walking about 25kms tomorrow..
will be back with more details soon
Adios xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Great to here from you. Safe Journey WTC
ReplyDeleteGlad the bloggers have resurfaced. Sounds like fun! Linda
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely, although I don't know about the bedrooms, come to think of it I don't know about sleeping in one's clothes that one has walked in for days either. Well as long as you go back to your old cleanliness habits when you come back Mishi, otherwise I may not be able to share an office with you even though I love you and miss you there are limits LOL xxxx Gail (your avid blog-stalker)
ReplyDeleteLongjohns under shorts...yep.... as a Kiwi I know that look too.... and I used to wear it like that when the weather required and never used to worry about the looks!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that the weather has improved. Sounds like you are 'real pilgrims' now when you can change your 'plans' on a whim!

ReplyDeleteIn a town called carrion de los condes staying in an old monetry run by the nuns. Mass is at 8 then prayers then bed by 9.30p which all sounds good. Have lost a few of the crew we have been travelling with but have re met some others we havený seen for a bit including the korean priest. Days are sunny but the wind is always around and cold. There are still snow capped mountains in the distance.but we are getting a bit weathered by all the wind. xxx
Go Go GO about half way today congratulations
