Today was a relaxing day. We only had 10 kilometers to walk, so we slept in and grabbed a full sit-down breakfast, rather than a croissant and a quick coffee. We found a place in Burgos that did bacon and eggs and smoothies, and so we treated ourselves to a nice meal to celebrate mother’s day with our girls.
The walk out of Burgos was lovely. It went through a large park, and we enjoyed a smooth, paved trail. We found a gorgeous playground and stopped to let Addie play for awhile.
Outside of the city, the walk was flat and uneventful. We had wanted to stop one town further, but had been unable to find accommodation, but we were happy to only walk 10 kilometers today.
There isn’t much to write about the day. We checked into our room in Tardajos enjoyed a decent dinner, and tried to book ahead to León. We were able to book a few nights, and then things looked pretty booked over, so we are looking into what our options are. We are still looking into finishing the Camino and talking through our various options as to how. We are nervous that things are getting booked up, but we can’t really book our full trip, as we don’t have any solid plans yet, so we are going with the flow and hoping for the best.
What a nice Mother’s Day after the past few days. I hope the journey keeps rolling smoothly for you. The weather looks beautiful and I’m glad you were able to really enjoy it!
happy for you that you had a enjoyable and calm day. I know that there is a huge volume of people walking this year, and accommodation is a problem, so i wish you all good things in your quest for a place to stay. May you have a great evening!
We are enjoying your adventure along with you. Truly amazing. A wonderful Mother’s Day. Memories for a lifetime. Sue g,
You are almost half way to your destination and still posting 98% positive postings. How sweet is that.
Stay safe
Hugs galore
Keep on trek’n and posting.
Wow the half way point. that is a big accomplishment ! you deserve a slower day.
Your comments are smart thinking. Finishing the first half is good time to reflect and decide on the options as there are lots of things to see in other parts of southern Spain as well . You now have experienced the Camino and what it has to offer, might be a good time for change of scenery before you wear the tires off your stroller ! you can always come back and do the other half when Eloise can share and remember the experience as well .
Sounds like a very pleasant day. 10km is a good distance.
Yay for better days!
