Belorado!

Made it to Belorado, 23km or so.

I´d have to say that today was probably my best day on the Camino. My feet didn´t hurt that much, and the blisters are pretty much gone now, so it was just the regular foot pain of walking 23km with a 10kg or so backpack.

I have a feeling I´ll be heading into an Internet-less abyss for a few days, until I get to Burgos on Thursday. But you never know, tiny towns with nothing but a pilgrim hostel might end up having Internet anyways. We´ll see.

From Burgos, I will be taking a bus to Leon, cutting out approximately 180km. The reason I´m doing this is because I´ve recalculated the time that I would need to get to Santiago, and it is cutting it so close that I wouldn´t be able to get to Finisterre (which is actually more important to me than Santiago), nor would I have time to spend in Porto before leaving for London. So by cutting out those nine days of walking, I give myself more room to get done the things I want to do.

The part between Burgos and Leon is essentially a ¨pilgrim treadmill¨as my guidebook puts it anyways, mostly flat and fairly boring expanses of nothingness. So I wouldn´t be missing much, and if I want, I´ll come back to do that portion next summer.

So that´s that! Maybe updates tomorrow, maybe only Thursday. We´ll see the status of things as they come. Hasta luego!
