Breakfast of yesterday's bread, cheese and ham, then
outside to a perfectly clear sky and no wind but heavy frost. My god it
was cold, even with good gloves my fingers were sore from the cold. By
midday the sky had a winter grey colour but mid afternoon it was
perfectly clear and almost warm. First hot coffee in Poblacion albergue
where the lady hospitalar gave us a big hug as we left. The next 12 km
we walked alongside a small river along totally deserted country lanes
until reaching Villalcazar. Here we visited the beautiful Knights
Templar church and had coffee in hotel. Final destination after 20km is
Carrion de Los Condes where have booked into the convent Espiritu Santo.
Tomorrow we are trying for a 37km day!!!
Late update on Pyrenees! One of the pilgrims showed photos of his
crossing on 29 Nov. The snow was up to knees and extreme wind. All signs
covered in ice with half meter long icicles. To read directions ice had
to be chiseled off. Temps minus ten degrees and crossing of 30km took
14 hours. Police send helicopter to check the three pilgrims. This story
has been confirmed by other pilgrims who took lower route.
