17. Day Astorga – Foncebadon 26,8 km

This day compared with the others was a short walk.

I slept very bad. My legs, mainly my sole, were aching until morning, indicating me the result of the 50 km. I started late and tired.

Astorga is the most beautiful place for me so far. The day started with a short sight seeing, where I was suprised to meet two polish pilgrims, with whom I met before. How can they be here when I am doing this much of distance daily? They also looked suprised to see me there.

After Astorga a wonderful little chapel got into my way. An old men was guarding it, at the entrance old photos were on the wall. The atmosphere touched me , i spent some time there.

It was a slope day today the path brought me to 1500 m high. it was strange that I didn’t felt it. I chose to cover a short distance, because the accomodation would have been uncertain (regarding the number of free spaces), on the other hand the pilgrim has other things to do not just to walk. Because of the kilometers covered in the past days I didn’t always have time and strenghts to wash, so it was time (or rather pressing) for a washing day.

At dinner I met my polish friends again. They invited me to their table and we talked. One of them is 27 years old, his uncle is 43. It turned out that they have the same amount of time available like and they are doing it harder. Their daily record is 60 km. We had a great conversation, I gave them the address of my blog, looking forward to their comments.
