Castrojeriz

An pleasant 21km walk today. Started out very misty, so everyone
dressed for weather similar to yesterday's wind and rain.

The morning quickly cleared to a very pleasant, sunnny day with a bit
of cloud. The sunshine started the stubble field strip, as pilgrims
left the muddy track to get out of all the wet weather gear.

Most stopped for breakfast at Hontanas, after walking 11km. No other
options being available. I had the usual coffee, orange juice and
tortilla con patatas.

Castrojeriz was quite stunning from a distance, with it's massive
church at the bottom of a hill that is topped with a ruined castle.

Am in a small hotel, just a converted house really. Beautifully
fitted out but best of all with clothes washer and drier. So I'm just
finishing a load now -yippee - no hand washing tonight!

Cheers
John
