Even tho it was a day of rest we were still awake reasonably early.....habit.....It was great to just lay there in a normal bed and not rush and pack backpacks and get on the road...... We went down and had breakfast at the hotel....... for 4.50 eur about $6 we had fresh fruit... HOT TOAST....OMG been so long no vegemite (cant have everything).....yoghurt... coissonts... O/Juice...coffee....cereal (not muesli doesnt seem to exsit in Spain) all you can eat. There was a Aussie couple that travel oversea's for 3 mths every year. They were very interested in our walk. We told them to look out for the yellow arrows...... We managed to borrow a laptop from the receptionist for 24hrs....Jacqui took it back to the room.....I think the cleaner had just walked into the room.......Jacqui caught her looking at our washing hung across the room...wonder if she has seen the movie.....
We caught a bus to see the Burgos Cathedral.....Wow what a amazing and massive place.....The first stone was laid in 1221. It has 14 chaples in one huge cathedral...We spent 2hrs in there wandering around....the workmanship is truly amazing.....Every where walls, ceilings and floor are all covered with paintings, taperstries, carvings, gold and silver statues and goblets...incredible....
We left there and Jacqui made me have a cherros......a hot long twisted deep fried donut type thing which I had to dip in a cup of hot melted chocolate drink.......Jacqui made me do it...I didn't want to...am glad we average about 20k's a day...we will walk it off tomorrow ....it was delcious. Possibly have another one down the track if Jacqui makes me do it again.....
We wandered around a bit, the weather was cold but not windy and sometime's the sun came out.....We found a seat and sun in the same place so sat for a while and enjoyed it ....we haven't seen a lot of it on our walk. Patrick wandered pass and stopped and had a chat...He to was having a rest day.....He is doing the walk alone. His wife is going to go on one of the bus tours where the tour guide organises everything and they walk for a few days. He was going to met her futher down the track and spend a couple of days with her then go on alone again. We went and found a few shops and I bought a cheap scarf to wrap around my neck as I had lost one a few days into our walk.
Went back to the hotel and Jacqui spent some time on the computer. Found a resturant just around the corner for tea.....Jacqui made me order ...when will she learn...she has already had to drink a black coffee cause I didnt get it right....we decided to have a chicken hamburger each. We figured its a safe order..... I went and ordered....asked if they were very big....yes they were.... the guy spoke a little english. Order came....one hamburger.....obviously I forgot to say ...doss (2)....so we cut it in half and shared. The red wine was great and had to convinced the guy that we wanted to buy the whole bottle. He wouldn't leave it on the table...he just came and filled our glass up every time untill it was emptied. Any way we ate the burger very nice but we were still hungry, so Jacqui went and ordered another for us to share and some chips.....think she has learnt her lesson.....dont send me up to order....we got another and a huge bowl of chips....far to much food
Home in bed by 10.....ready to start walking the next day.....will be glad to get back on the road....not that keen on these big cities......
