Here I am at 1 am, leaving a rainy Cork city by bus on a 3 hour trip to Dublin airport.6.25 am flight to Madrid and bus to Burgos to continue where I left off last year.I should get there by about 2 pm later today.
Hey its my birthday today,65.I am full of enthusium and wanting to hit the ground running by starting to walk straight after getting off the bus,is this crazy ? Last year I spent 2 days in Burgos so Im thinking to just start walking immediatly to clock up a few kilometers on first day,what do ye think? I am planning to not book ahead as much as possible as I like the freedom of that.
Looking forward to meeting fellow travelers.

Sounds like a great plan! First half of the day out of Burgos is not all that great—just keep finding those yellow arrows—but the next day is really nice. Happy Birthday! Buen Camino!!
