19 June Hornillos to Castrojeriz

Left "El Molena" today, apparently the crew stayed here when "the way" was filmed. We met again an American mother traveling with her daughters, luckily the oldest daughter is a Spanish teacher! Handy! Hi to Mary, madi and Ali.

We got a lift a little way along the path- just as well. It was back to the wet muddy slog, that just got colder as the day progressed. Soaked through, the bottom half anyway, and down to 10C! We were also lucky (?) to get some of the last of the beds in town- thank god.

Spent the nigh in the second municipal albergue, st Juan. Pretty old with concrete bunk beds. Went to bed early as we were very cold, woke a couple of hours later in a sweat! seems our sleeping bags are ok. Woke to the sounds of gregorian chants and a monk/pelligrinos with a candle....we think that they were real ( add the doo doo...doo doo music here).
