villafranca to Burgos 2 days 40 kms

We.ve slowed???? up again. We were looking to do 53kms in 2 days but decided to make it 3 days---which means tomorrow is a mere walk around the block at 13kms. Its good to get to a major city--I feel it marks our progress---Burgos, leon. astorga and Santiago---not that were looking ahead too much---each day is a reasonably hard slog. Have learned some valuable lessons from last time---like not going too far or too fast---travelling with Jo helps this process---we tend to go at the slowest persons pace---having said that our pace is near to identical---which is a good thing---we keep each other going. Took a wrong turn this morning--- I knew it was dodgy---the other way had a bigX on it which normally indicates the wrong way---but not this time---went about 1 Km out of our way but it meant we arrived in a small albergue in the centre of Burgos right on 12 which magically was the time they opened---and with only 18 beds you have to get in early. To be continued
