Wed 21 Sep - Good meal last night, in fact the best so far. For 11 euros we had a very good wine and a choice of potatoe and bacala(sp) - the salted cod or a good mixed salad or bacon and tomato pasta. Main course was roasted pork, fresh salmon or meat balls - all which were excellent. Pud was ice cream, rice pud or a type of panna cotta. Overall a good night and for all my lady readers I can report C has stated that the she wee really does work, although you evidently must have the extension! And at this point I must say hi to Cs mum - Andrea -- who is reading this in Australia. Before I forget the riddle answers are a towel and a stamp.Had two people respond on the blog with the stamp answer - one being my wife Christa but none for the other. When we got back to our room we heard that Martina got to the village previous to us ok so it was good to know she was fine. At least this means she can get to Burgos in time for her flight home. We were very sorry not to be able to say goodbye properly over dinner. So Martina if you read this - buon camino and we hope your forthcoming hike with your partner in the Andies goes well and he does not find it too touristy! Today was SOP (now to be called COP for Camino) with a longish 30 kms to a small place called Rabe de las Calzados about 13 kms past Burgos. Stopped for about 40 mins in Burgos while Mark bought some new trainers and while we waited Lena caught up with us once more so now we are 6. When we got here 1 of the 2 AdPs was shut but luckly the other one had some spaces left. Only 1 bar in town with a few rolls and nothing for the evening except tortilla and wine at the AdP so I guess that will be it. Not sure if there is wifi here so will upload when I can. As for the discussion today it seemed to cycle around what names the Aussies have for other women inc - cougars which are older women that chase young men and prawns which are women (normaly older) that have good bodies but not good faces! Could bring a whole new meaning to a prawn sandwich or a prawn cocktail!!

  1. Hi Mike, Claire's Mum here - we are enjoying your blog. Would you please tell her that I knew the Shewee would come in handy eventually (with or without an extension!) Happy travelling to you all.
    Cheers
