The hotel where we stayed in yesterday evening was also a Bar, a resturant and a food store. One girl did everything and was back on the job at 8am the next day. Her boss also did our wash.
The first part of the ride was through beautiful countryside. The problem was there was also strong winds, the road was mostly uphill and we thought it would rain any minute. We did not have much interest in the scenery.
During the ride we passed San Juan de Ortega. It is a pilgrimage town for women who are not able to have children. On september 31 and March 31 the sun shines through a window directly on a realief of the visitation of Mary. The villagers call this the wonder of light.
We approached Burgos along conjested roads in industrial zones but ended in a park in a wonderful city with several well restored churches.
Wij sturen foto's naar Nelly omdat Dan een tablet heeft van de fruit company en die maakt gekke sprongen zoals jullie reeds eerder hebben kunnen zien. Normaal gezien is er dus ook een foto waar ik op de bank zit waar ook de minder fortuinlijke Belgische pelgrim gezeten heeft met zijn vriendin. Hij is later dood teruggevonden en werd waarschijnlijk overreden door een auto. De foto is genomen voor de schitterende kathedraal van Burgos.
