11. Day Villafria – Hontanas 40,9 km

The previous day was the toughest until now. After having a bath and dinner, I left my clothes on the floor the way I got them off. I didn’t felt writing a blog post, you can only see the pictures because they were uploaded during my dinner.

Inspite of all this I woke up really good and the only depressing thing was that the 11 km was through Burgos, through mainly industrial plants and apartment blocks. But the end of the city compensated me for everything, the historical district of the town was wonderful.

The rest of the day was shadow free and I walked near  plough-lands. At 34 km at a fabulous pilgrim accomodation , in the middle of the wasteland, I could have finished the day. There was one free bed out of 12, but there was no electricity and no meal was available. After 15 minutes thinking, I decided to walk an additional 6 km by opening my last secret energy source. The main reason was that I thought the previously consumed one banana and two oranges are not quite enough for this much distance covered. If there was kitchen or I had food on me I would have stayed for sure, because the place was more then idyllic.

I didn’t regret to walk. Surely the 6 km was cruel, but I arrived to a beautiful little village, where internet was available anywhere, but in the third inn a room was free for me and I had an excellent dinner. It seems I didn’t gain any weight, though I don’t have a weighing machin, but I am using holes on my belt that I have never used before.
