20.5 km today flat and easy under foot. There was an option to take a shady path along the river for part of the way today and we went that way. Once we were off that path we were back to endless hay fields and it was very flat. The colour of the hay fields and the sky are amazing together and after a while it almost hurts your eyes.
We finally made it to Carrion de los Condes. A large town by comparison to quite a few we have stayed in lately with a population of 2300. There seems to be a couple of town squares with side streets winding off them. We found our accomodation without too much trouble and got organized before heading out to explore the town and work out where we were going to eat. We are leading a very simple life at the moment.
There is a church off what I think is the main square and we went in for a look. Soon some nuns came in and started their prayers. One of them sung and played an intrument that I couldn't see but it all sounded lovely so we stayed there for a little while before heading back to the square for more exploration.
We sat down for a drink and a man from Iceland came and joined us and we had dinner with him. Each day we meet new people from different places all with a story to tell.
Tomorrow is another big day 30km. We are getting back off the guide book again.
Todays photo says 463 km to Santiago but that must be by road. The guide book says we have 414km to go and a sign in town said 404km. Who knows? We will just have to keep going until we get there.
