Today we continued crossing the Meseta - again excellent cycling country, often with the walking route along side the tarmac. Very little traffic, chatted to a couple of American ladies - Carol don´t read this bit - they were jealous of John´s silky smooth legs and enquired if he shaved them. Pilgrim menu for lunch in a Hostal and we reached Sahagun, which is the official mid-point of the Camino. We visited the "Sanctuario de la Peregrina" and we each got our Certificate of "Centrico Geographica del Camino" for a Senior Citizens rate of 2 Euros each. We´ve got the Certificate and John is the only one with the tee-shirt!!
Looking back over the last few days we realise John has been the Pilgrim who has sufferred the most - lost glove, broke his sunglasses, punctured, suncream and grit in his eye and chemists closed! Tony G has developed a reputation for making sure all our plates are clean! Sometimes even tucking in before the food hits the table! - only joking.
43miles - total 360
I should have warned you about Tony. It is rumoured that on the tri-annual vets he consumed a bowl of salad that was meant for 25 riders before any of them had even sat down. But that was only a rumour - until now that is, and I am not telling tales, honest.
