sandals to give my feet a change. The lower ticket office at Yuso has
tickets for the upper monastery (Suso) while the upper ticket office
has tickets for the lower monastery (Yuso). Worked it out eventually.
First, I caught the shuttle up to Suso and enjoyed the amazing
antiquity of the place. Then took the gorgeous 20 minute walk back
down to Yuso - seemed to be the only one doing so..
The church at Yuso is undergoing an extensive restoration but is still
impressive. The guided tour is quite extended and gives plenty of
time to appreciate the place.
Yuso has a website: www.monasteriodeyuso.org
The place was overrun with Mercedes 4wd cars, they had stayed the
night at the 4star hotel - naturally.
For those who don't know, I am writing this blog using one finger
typing on my mobile phone. Slow but it gets the job done - please
excuse the typos.
The niggling cold that I've had for a few days is now full blown, so
will run it's course soon (hopefully). I'm in bed for a siesta now -
may not bother getting up until tomorrow.
Haven't seen any peregrinos here but will rejoin them tomorrow at
Santo Domingo de Calzada.
One great piece of news is that Jim, who walked the camino with Gen
and I for a while in 2007, will be in Spain in October. We hope to
catch up for a meal - I really hope we can manage to get together.
Seeing friends is always good - seeing them so far from home is very
special.
Cheers
John

Sounds fabulous John. Hope your cold gets better soon. Chris
Those monasteries look fabulous, did you get to actually satay in one of them for a night?
Hi John,
Hope that siesta treated you well and the cold you picked up is on its last legs! G'ma, G'pa and myself have been enjoying your blog and now that they know where to find you I'm sure they will be visiting again soon :)
Till then....good health and merry travels xxx Sahra and Co
