[QUOTE="LuisaR, post: 1060938, member: 103223"] [B]Day 18: Atapuerca to Burgos 19.83km[/B] I set off early and hung around for a few minutes before descending into the dark countryside. Fortunately, a group of peregrino’s turned up and although I didn’t walk with them, they were close enough for me to follow them and use them as my guides! I remember the walk being quite hilly at first but really scenic and beautiful. Again, I was on really good form, and the first breakfast stop was incredible! The food was amazing, and I had somehow managed to get there just before 20 peregrino’s piled in. I took the scenic route into Burgos, walking through the park following a river, rather than along a road. As I got closer to Burgos, I suddenly got really tired and had to stop to rest a few times to sit for a minute or two on the wall. I had another ‘moment’ when entering Burgos and seeing the cathedral for the first time. Entering a cathedral city on foot, having trekked for many days to get there, is quite an overwhelming experience! I sat on a bench and admired the cathedral before finding my hostel (another individual room!) to sort myself out, and then went out to explore. I bumped into a Dutch lady who I had chatted to the day before in Atapuerca, and also a German mother and daughter who I had first met many days before - it’s amazing how you can be in a big foreign city and turn a corner and see people you know! Lots of people were ending their Camino in Burgos - it’s a natural end point if you have a limited amount of time, and I remember feeling so incredibly grateful that I was carrying on. Not one part of me wanted to stop walking. [/QUOTE]
