Pretty much all of our training has been along Linear Park and all the while we have been accompanied by the chatter, twitter, warble, squawk, screech, caroling, quacking, cawing and outright laughter of myriad birds; when we haven't felt much like walking it has always been the colours and chorus, the babies and the antics of the birds that have changed our 'drudgery' to joy. Sweet little reminders of God's amazing creation.

Day 10: San Juan de Ortega to Burgos 25.5 kms

That was a hard one. We were doubtful of reaching the city at all, my goal was the Burgos Cathedral. Desperate for sleep we had resorted to booking a hotel in Burgos and it was the carrot. I could say rabbit for racing references however speed was not part of the story. A lot of people decided to catch a bus for the last 10kms of the day that would bypass 10kms of industrial waste land ... good choice. Now we know!
