Camino Francés

Published: 17.07.2018

16.07.18

I have now pressed the reset button for myself and start again in Leon on the main path... I'm looking forward to some things I know very much... like being at this great oasis again tomorrow, or the Cruz de Ferro, ...

I am curious about the change in my motivation... will it come, will I get into the swing or will I stop everything and do something else. Somehow it suddenly went into a slump, and I didn't want that on vacation.

Normally I should now meet a lot of pilgrims, as the feeling should come.

Now it starts... since I treated myself to the luxury of sleeping in, I start the day alone on the Camino... That's exactly what I wanted to avoid... my own fault... but I still had a good breakfast that took even more time...

What was even more stupid was that I took a wrong turn somewhere... the arrows were there but without the book I am now walking directly next to the highway... at least no more concrete pavement... so now I need the yellow book, mine is at home, so I have to find Germans where I can take pictures of the pages... always next to the highway... no thanks!

My blisters have healed so far and don't cause any problems anymore, but my left shin hurts a lot... strange, I had the same thing in 2015 exactly in and around Leon... so a bit slower now... although by starting at 9:30 I'm walking in the brutal heat today, instead of arriving around noon or early afternoon...

Arriving in Hospital de Orbigo, there were also some things that I remembered well...

Today I didn't feel like going out to eat, so I got some pasta and tomato sauce and cooked it, for dinner I was able to make my first acquaintances... everyone was very interested in learning something about the Camino del Norte...

So tomorrow I'm off to the oasis 🏝
