good question, at this moment sitting in front of a huge log burner surrounded by lots of pilgrims, oh in Astorga. We seem to have left the sun behind us, I've just been told that there is snow ahead in O Cebreiro, welcome to Galicia. But at least I making progress, been on a couple of sectons of the N120 but rejoin the camino when pos as I dont like being passed by the big ones which cause a wind tunnel.
3rd time through Leon but I still didn't get to see inside the cathedral, maybe another time NO I can hear myself saying.
557km behind me, please don't rain tomorrow.
Rain turned into sleet.
Was I pleased to have Janice nearby, our journey to Cruz de Ferro was not pleasent. With freezing winds, rain and sleet to test our strength, we stood at the cross shaking, I had to change into dry socks and put my feet into pladtic bags to bring them back to life. Our hands were no longer able to function, so my ride down was impossible as I couldn't operate the brakes. One could have perished up there. Were we pleased to get to Molinaseca in one piece.
The next morning I shopped for warmer gloves, magically I found a cheap shop and bought the best buy on the Camino - A pair of -20* water proof gloves made in China, not sure if I have a garentee lol. My hands are as warm as toast now, thankyou cheapie shop.
