Day 18 Sahagun to El Burgo Ranero

I stayed at the municipal alberque last night. It is an old converted church. They have created a second floor within the church and that is the albegue, the lower floor is areception and theatre. Cold shower again, warmed up later I am told, but sure is a good way to save water. Started out looking like rain. It bucketed overnight. But no, has stayed fine for today´s walk. A little shorter today, as the next leg is 13km, if we pressed on. El Burgo Ranero is a nice little village, with a good internet setup...yes! Staying at a private albergue that has twin rooms, peace from snoring. A lazy afternoon to come, just need to wash and dry clothes. Drying clothes is a real problem, given the rain, and the high humidity. My pack was heavy today with wet socks, jocks and t-shirt. Boots may need repair in Leon, as stitching is failing in places, and the last thing I want is new boots. Tough walking early, but after the tyres warmed up I put in some good laptimes for a strong finish. Hope to extend the distances again soon. About a day behind my original schedule at the moment, but I have about 5-6 days slack, and I plan on using 2-3 of that.

Again, thanks for the comments. I would reply individually to many, if I knew how.
