I planned to leave early, but my hiking pole was in a locked area that wouldn’t open until 7 AM

I left at 6:45 to cover as much distance as possible before the heat set in

I started early to avoid walking in the heat

I tried to sleep in but couldn’t, so I got up and checked that my clothes and shoes were dry

The weather didn’t look good. It started as a drizzle but quickly turned into heavy rain after we left

Today’s walk was honestly boring

My Camino family and I discussed our route options

Somehow, none of us set an alarm

We took it slow today since one of our group members had foot pain

The route out of Hontanas was a narrow trail, and with our headlamps

We left Burgos just before 7 a.m

Even though it was a rest day, I still woke up early
