So today we started out from\u00a0Segovia, just a short day of\u00a013 kilometers\u00a0to Los\u00a0Huertos, where\u00a0it’s\u00a0a very small\u00a0four-bed\u00a0albergue.\u00a0Pat was struggling a little bit from the last couple of days and also just feeling a bit drained.\u00a0Health\u00a0hasn’t\u00a0been\u00a0great\u00a0the last couple of days.\u00a0So\u00a0coming out of Segovia was a bit of a struggle for her because\u00a0there’s\u00a0a steep downhill and then a steep uphill and we got some medication for various things on the way out of Segovia. It was\u00a0touch\u00a0and\u00a0go\u00a0whether we would actually walk today or not. But we started off\u00a0slowly\u00a0and\u00a0I think, you\u00a0know, as long as you walk slowly and keep moving forward you get there eventually.<\/p>\n

\"Day<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

There was a lovely old church on the way up out of the hill, on the way out of Segovia, going up the hill. We stopped briefly in Zamarramala and we hoped to stop there briefly for a snack, but nothing was open. And then we continued into Valseca, where again, we hoped to get a snack, but there was nothing available. But the locals told us, I mean, obviously our Spanish is not that good, but the locals told us about something that was happening down the road where we could get some food. And so, we walked down the road and found the whole village there was celebrating with a huge picnic and roasting a pig and all kinds of things. And they welcomed us and said, \u201cYou know, that’s Tanya as a ticket.\u201d But we found that the food wasn’t going to be ready for an hour or two and we really needed to press on. So, we thanked them very much, but explained that we needed to keep moving.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Day<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

And\u00a0so,\u00a0we moved on to Los\u00a0Huertos, which was\u00a0very interesting\u00a0because we arrived at the\u00a0albergue\u00a0and there was a guy standing at the door of the\u00a0albergue\u00a0and\u00a0says,\u00a0\u201cHey, Rob!\u201d\u00a0He’s\u00a0actually somebody\u00a0from the Camino Forum that I knew was walking at a similar time. And we knew that\u00a0we’d\u00a0sort of meet\u00a0up at some point.\u00a0So,\u00a0I said,\u00a0\u201cPlease\u00a0tell me that\u00a0it’s\u00a0not full.\u201d\u00a0And he said,\u00a0\u201cIt’s\u00a0full.\u201d\u00a0\u201cOh no,\u00a0’cause\u00a0we really\u00a0didn’t\u00a0want to have to walk another 8.7 onto A\u00f1e\u201d, which was the next small\u00a0albergue. But anyway, Ursula, the lady who looks after the\u00a0albergue\u00a0at Los\u00a0Huertos, came over and she dragged two air mattresses out of a cupboard and explained. Thankfully, with the help of Andrew, who’s Spanish is near fluent, I think, she explained that we could put these on the floor of the medical\u00a0center, which was kind of within the same building as the\u00a0albergue.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Day<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you can imagine, they had this little medical\u00a0center\u00a0and then\u00a0there’s\u00a0a room\u00a0that’s\u00a0been converted into an\u00a0albergue,\u00a0it’s\u00a0also kind of part of the same building. And\u00a0so\u00a0we put air mattresses on the floor of the doctor’s surgery. And we had\u00a0access through\u00a0to the bathrooms in the\u00a0albergue\u00a0and stuff like that, and it worked out really well. We had a great sleep.<\/p>\n

So,\u00a0an interesting\u00a0albergue\u00a0experience for Pat. And the bar in Los\u00a0Huertos, which is sometimes open, sometimes closed, a bit hard to work out, was\u00a0really good, had some great food, the guy running it was good. We had some lunch there and I asked him, \u201cWhat time are you open till? Thinking we might pop down for a snack for dinner.\u201d And he\u00a0kind of just\u00a0shrugged and said,\u00a0\u201cYou\u00a0know, late.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

So,\u00a0all in all, Los\u00a0Huetos\u00a0was\u00a0a great experience\u00a0and\u00a0we’re\u00a0looking forward to tomorrow where\u00a0we’re\u00a0heading over towards Santa Maria La Real de Nieva.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
