Reply to Paulus - news
Hi Paulus,
thank you for looking in my diary. In Burgos, some days ago, the 100-bed-Alberge was full at that night. Yesterday after a 40-km-walk I came to Foncebadon and the refugio was full. They sent me to the next village but I decided to make a sleep under the heaven near the Cruz de Ferro. Today we have the 1. August, which is "Ferragosto" in Italy. All French, Italian and Spanish people come now - yes I think it will be overcrowded the next few days and weeks.
Hi all Friends,
Yesterday I have passed Astorga,slept outdoor at the Cruz de Ferro, where I took a personal rock onto the Mountain and today I passed Ponteferrada. Now I am in Cacabelo which is a really nice Albergue with 2-bed cabins. Since at home there are problems with my family I try to finish my way to Santiago asap, which means about 10 - 12 days. I try to make 40 km per day. My feet are a little tired from all that walking - but they are done just for this job.
My main question now is, how to get home from Santiago in acceptable time for an acceptable price. Before visiting the Cathedral in Santiago I will have to visit a travel agent.
Best greetings and wishes from the camino
Bernd
