We cycled an aggregate 80 Km's today, and have just 20 to go until we will reach León. For the overall trip we have already completed more than half, from here we have another 320 to go until sainthood.
We thought that our Camino was quite tough, until I passed a couple on bicycles just before lunch. One of them had just cycled from The Netherlands, and the other was on his 21st day from Switzerland. OMG.... Impressive stuff, respect.
Another funny occurrence was a father and son on horse-back. The Australian couple we met yesterday had mentioned they met them on way, and indeed after chatting with them they were the same horse people. We had been following hoof tracks along the camino yesterday afternoon and this morning. Now we passed them and we are on the lookout for a supposed Jesus freak who is traveling by donkey and cart. Have not spotted him yet, but there are plenty of crusty unshaven Jesus wannabees along this stretch of the Camino.
More later from León, now for relaxation and a tiny drop of red wine to get the blood flowing again...
Hasta la próxima
