Today is the first of 3 days crossing the meseta, a high featureless area with little shade. Thankfully the temperature has dropped a little bit which will make the walk a bit easier. I look forward to getting out of Burgos, and back into the open countryside.
I’m probably not far from Hornillos now, steadily climbing over the hill that I know comes before the village. It’s one of those hills that gently rises and you think you’ll come to the top, only to find another gentle rise before you as you come around the bend.
I felt like an early start today, so I actually woke up at 5:30. By the time I had packed, done my stretching exercises and had a tasty breakfast I was on the road by 6:30. It’s quite chilly at this time in the morning, but I’m sure within 10 or 15 minutes I ‘ll have warmed up enough, to start eating my egg sandwich that I made the night before, that is warming up in my pocket.

I’ve been walking for about 2 and a half hours now, on the stretch from Castrojeriz to Fromista. The walk was quite interesting in the early stages with a big hill to climb out of Castrojeriz and views across the open Meseta with quite a cool wind blowing. We’re now down near a thousand year old bridge as you can see on the video.
I’m walking today along the senda from Fromista to Carrión and it’s one of those days where my mood is not so buoyant. I don’t know whether it’s the overcast day, or the boredom of the straight path next to the road. I expect I’ll just be putting my head down, and counting the kilometers, until we reach Carrión.

I was pondering on this this morning. It’s an overcast day, which always seems to affect my mood. But it wasn’t just that. I feel like I’ve gone through an enormous transformation already on this Camino. There was the physical stage, initially just getting used to the walk. Then I guess you would call it the stage of relaxation as I started to get into the rhythm of the walk.
