Villa Franca to Burgos

Am now in Burgos.  It is wonderful city with much history and beautiful cathedral.  WE are staying in a hotel for   tonight with views of the cathedral.  I am resting here for a couple of days.  Became sick....bad cold I think...not good. 

Stayed at Ages last night .... a little hick village in the hills.  Stayed in a converted hay loft with 5 foot ceiling.  It was quite a fete getting to the toilet in the middle of the night trying hard not to hit my head on the low beams.  Gizzla and I were congratulating ourselves on getting such unusual accommodation to ourselves when we were hit with a group of spanish youths and the magic was shattered.  We had a very interestng night with the boisterous youths. Ten of us altogether in this loft with 5 foot ceiling.

We had a hard day walking as i was becoming quite sick and my feet were hurting.  Gizzla had a slight fall and stepped on her bamboo walking pole and snapped it.  Ooooooh! my fwiend haz dite......I am trying very hard not to laugh.  I said Oh dis is bad Gizzla....we will haf a funeral...so we laid the stick to rest in the woods.  She bought a new one today.

There was no way I could walk to Burgos so since there were no buses being so remote the hospitalero at Ages offered to take us to Burgos in his taxi....we managed to recruit another couple which spread the 30 euros in fare between us....so that was good.

The terrain has changed now and we seem to have left the wheat fields and vineyards behind.  This week we will start walking across the Miseta which is mostly flat!!!

We are meeting two Canadians tonight for dinner who we caught up with today with loud whoops in the Cathedral square.  My hilarious Frenchman is also here....more hugs and kisses.
