26 Juni 2012 | Spanje, Villafranca-Montes de Oca
Stopped walking after 18 kilometers today, as there is a mountain range ahead of us, which we probably won't be able to cover in a few hours and make it to the next refugio in the burning heat.
Somewhere along the way I got lost in this field of barley. Had to find my way back and try again, along the highway this time. Sometimes we have to cross the highway too (on foot). Really weird, not to mention dangerous. But apparently that's how hey do things around here. They even have special road signs for 'crossing pilgrims'. I'll try to get a picture of one.
This is a really nice hostel. It's actually a new, modern 3-star hotel (€30 / room / night), but they have sleeping areas for pilgrims as well (just €5 / night). It looks really nice and it's really well accommodated.
I'm going to take a shower and then find myself a nice ice-cold drink. I can understand why the Spanish have siesta every day. Someone's warned us it's going to be over 40 degrees later this week. Time to hide in a cave, methinks.

Pieter:
Moet denken aan psalm 121: Ik sla mijn ogen op naar de bergen (en denk o, help, hoe kom ik daar overheen...)
Maar de Psalm zingt: waar komt mijn hulp vand aan? (da's bijbeltaal voor: kom ik daar wel overheen...?) Morgen verder!
In Engeland moesten we ooit ook een keer te voet een vierbaans snelweg oversteken. Eerst 2 banen met verkeer van de ene kant en toen de middenberm en daarna twee banen met verkeer van de andere kant - het kwam met 120-130 km/u voorbij razen. Maar het was echt een officiële oversteekplaats voor voetgangers en fietsers, met hekken en borden en al. Gekkenwerk!
