Dark Belorado to Atapuerco

A long (29 km/18 miles) hike today.  The first couple of hours was in the dark. I left extra early because there were two large groups of Korean pilgrims going to the same destination town (Ages). The tour guide told me that she was going to take a taxi to the hostel with her stack of 13 passports to make sure they got in. It turned out that I just went to one more town (Atapuerco) and didn't have a problem getting a bed.

September Planning

 A week to go before I leave for the Camino!  I have been making a possible schedule and packing list.  I'm also starting this blog...  I don't know who'll be reading it, so please make a comment for me so I know. Here's the schedule.  There is almost no chance that I'll be exactly on this schedule.  Part of the Camino pilgrim experience is going without knowing exactly where you'll end up that day.  I have quite a bit of flexibility so if I need recovery days, it shouldn't be any problem.  I might want to walk slower too.  Days Walking Destination Notes Target Lodging Reserve ?
