it was lovely to leave the roads and we soon went off Ito the fields again. How nice it was to be walking through people's farms again, chatting to the cows rather than been blown about by cars and trucks. Made friends again with some hills and interestingly enough after 25 days of walking they don't seem so bad.
Walked over a very old bridge-again.
Then on on on over a few hills, though we were taken by a mirage on top of a plateau, but in fact it was real. A donation for a cool drink or fresh fruit...mmmm.
Eventually into Astorga, one of the two ancient roman centres. Unfortunately up, up and up the hill to the city. Beautiful cathedral and a gaudi designed bishops residence ( looks like something from Disney!).
Wow this is my first time on a blog - you have spoilt me for any others! Beautiful photos, great food and you are still smiling after 25 days - you two are AWESOME! I found out my cousin Wendy (from Bris) is also doing the trek at the moment ... no idea where she is in relation to you. Looks like you found your MOJO - love you guys! Mrs T and the Tribe
ReplyDeleteYou two seem to be thriving - I am thinking of you a lot.
ReplyDeleteI am also looking forward to seeing you and hearing the stories!
