First stop in Burgos.. ATM!! I think now we both give much more value to the money we carry. Next stop: someplace to eat. I don't know why, but we crossed the entire city while looking for the right place to stop. Almost out of choices, we entered a little "panadería" that really didn't got much to choose from, but luckily we found a "Mercadona" a few hundred meters away. And lastly we entered a municipal library were we warmed up and accessed the internet for a moment.
When we left the library and started walking again, surprise surprise: we found Fiona! For those of you wondering, Fiona is an Australian girl that I met on the forums a few months ago and that is walking to León. She started in Logroño one day ahead of us, but we caught up with her.
Resuming: we found her! So we talked for a bit and then we went our separate ways, but only to get together again in the albergue at Rabé de las Calzadas. In between we also met an American guy who was going to Finisterra on his bike.
Arriving at the albergue there was already another guy checking-in. He caught my attention when he said to the hospitalera that he was Portuguese. Actually, Higino is Luso-Angolan but has been living in Spain for quite a few time, teaching at an university in León.
The albergue was great, it had a little room with a fireplace where we could hang out. We even played a bit of dominoes (I won, by the way)! The internet connection was awful though, slow to the point of non-existent, so we got down to the bar which was much better.
We had been with Fiona in the bar for an hour or so when Higino arrived and started ordering drinks and food for everyone. It was almost unbelievable. We had red wine, cheese, chorizo, olives, pickles, crisps.. We stayed in the bar for hours, talking, eating and drinking too much for our own good! And Higino insisted in paying for it all. We'll get the next round!
