To Burgos and Beyond

May 24, 2012

Leaving Belorado behind Piglet steered a steep course out of Villafranca Montes de Oca towards Burgos. You know the kind of hill where signs warn you to test your brakes on the way down? Well, we climbed one of those - a 6% climb over three kilometers.

At the top, we all take a break, and Piglet sees snow for the first time.

The Rain in Spain

Piglet was nice and snug in her trailer, sleeping through the brutal weather. We arrived into the province of Burgo on the second day, already wondering what we were doing…

Eventually we reached the town of Belorado, fluich baite. We took refuge in the first hotel we found.

The following morning the weather was looking a lot better as we set off again.

Piglet laughing at it all again; Rebecca trying to muster a smile, but mostly grimacing through the wetness.

Camino de Santiago - Otra Vez

May 22, 2012

As you might recall, the first time around Piglet allowed herself to be carried along the Camino de Santiago from St Jean Pied de Port to Logroño. It’s all discussed here: St Jean Pied de Port

So, for the next leg of the Camino Piglet wanted to travel in a little more style - in a bicycle trailer. So she did.

This is the front door of our friend Santiago’s apartment; it’s right on the Camino in downtown Logroño. This is where we finished up the first leg of 200 km.
