More Cowbell.
This morning we walked through a field of cows with their calves. And to top it off, they all had cowbells. It was such a simple pleasure that we stood there watching them graze all around us for ages. I don´t have the words to describe it, but hopefully Hannah will at some point. (Post script: she´s said she will)
We´ve got a feeling it´s Sunday, because it was unusually difficult to get brekkie/coffee this morning. We´ve completely lost touch with the "real world", other than when we get 15 to 30 minutes of internet access every day days. On those occasions we read emails from family & friends, then type as much into the blog as possible before the time expires. There´s no time for catching up on world or even local events.
Burgos is the biggest city we´ve been through so far. Most towns take a few minutes to walk through, but it was 8kms of city traffic before we reached tonight´s albergue.
This afternoon we spent a few hours exploring the Burgos Cathederal: built, rebuilt and rebuilt between 1221 and the 1500s. For anyone coming to this part of Spain, it´s definitely worth spending the time to explore it.
We re-met Ben from Australia today. He´s the only person we´re still bumping into that we´ve known since day 1 on the Camino. It´s weird sharing several meals a day with a group of new friends, then having a rest day and knowning that you´ll probably never see any of them again... and then bumping into one of them hundreds of kilometers down the road.
Admittedly we´re doing this at a very relaxed pace because we have no end-date, so we´re re-meeting our grey-haired friends more often than our speedy young friends.
