Sun 8 Dec 13. A magic day!! The accommodation was very comfortable with single and not bunk beds. We hit the road at 08:30,
it was -6C, heavy mist but clear sky and no wind. The country side was
white, every blade of grass, twig, leave and branch covered in small
wind driven icicles. A photographers dream! Only by midday did the sun
burn of the ice and bring some warmth. Our first stop was at midday
after walking 17km on a straight country lane in rolling fields although
the mist hid this from us. During the morning we only saw two other
people, both pilgrims. Finally at 15:00
we arrived at Terradillos de Templarios and decided against trying to
walk the other 13km due to failing light. I have stayed in this albergue
previously and they put on a good evening meal and breakfast. Now only 2
days out from Leon. The days are getting noticeably shorter and colder.
Feet holding up but feeling the pressure of non stop walking.
