Ages to Burgos

The last stage of our Camino started early. Once again we began walking while it was still dark. We walked along the road for several kilometres sometimes second guessing ourselves because there were no paths or sidewalks. We could see the head lamps of another group up ahead. We stopped for breakfast in the next town and the sky started to lighten when we were finished. We found a path that went along side a military reserve going up along a stony path until we came to the highest point where there is the cross that Martin Sheen et al left their stones.

As we walked down hill we saw several groups of hunters with their dogs. We have no idea what they were hunting but we think there were birds. At the bottom of the hill were several small towns and then we saw the outskirts of Burgos. Surprizingly we found we had to walk around the airport runway. Luckily no planes were taking off! The last few kilometres were completely industrial before we entered the town centre. The cathedral is very beautiful.

Over the next couple of days we saw many if our Camino buddies. We went for tapas with Pablo, Had lunch with Martina, Met Guilermo, bumped into Christine at dinner, saw Charlie, Amir and Loretto, were in the same alberge as Tim, Jim and Edmund and kept missing Deirdre. It was a nice way to finish our Camino.
